Events Calendar Pro Content not Synched to Calendar

[Bill]

New client install of Event Calendar Pro. They report a situational ‘bug’ where calendar content does not match the calendar month listed.

How to produce the ‘bug’:
1 – Open Event Calendar to the current month view
2 – Click the navigation (at the bottom of the calendar) to go to the next month
3 – Open an event item (a post)
4 – Hit the BACK button on the web browser, to go back to the MONTH view
5 – You will get the correct Monthly (the month you previously looked at) but the calendar items will be for the current month (today’s month), not the month you are looking at.

Attached is a screenshot of the problem.

Hi, Bill. I couldn’t replicate this issue when using Twenty Seventeen theme.

Here’s my testing video: https://cl.ly/3l2T1n2u0V3a

One thing that’s different is our Permalinks. I’d suggest seeing if the issue remains when your site has Pretty Permalinks.

Please let me know how this goes for you.

[Bill]

I tried what you recommended, changing the PERMALINKS so they are ‘Pretty Permalinks’ but it didn’t fix the problem.

I did more testing and found what might be the ‘root cause’ of the problem.

Our current configuration is a “Calendar” Page that uses the [tribe_events] shortcode to display the calendar:

Calendar

I tested using the “Events” link and I CAN’T reproduce the problem.
It works fine if I use:
https://www.dabr.com/events/

So, using the shortcode, the date is passed as a query string through the URL:

Calendar

I tried setting the view in the shortcode [tribe_events view=”month”] but it did NOT fix the problem.

If I try to use the /events/ SLUG then I lose my page style control. I prefer NOT using the STYLE option in the SETTINGS of the Events Calendar plugin.

Is there something more specific I can pass through the URL so the shortcode gets the right month?

Thanks for your efforts here. I’ve reported this issue to our developers and have marked this ticket as Pending Fix, which means this thread should receive a reply once the applicable fix has been released. I cannot guarantee when it will be fixed as it’s in the development team’s hands now. They need to assign it, code it, test it, and schedule it for release.

I apologize for this issue and appreciate your understanding and patience.

You might want to consider the following workaround:

1. delete the WordPress page at “calendar” slug
2. change wp-admin > Events > Settings > Events URL slug from “events” to “calendar”
3. implement the page title and header image thing at the top of the calendar

Please let me know if this workaround isn’t possible for some reason.
