Events not showing in blog loop

[mnussbaum]

I’ve checked the box to show events in our site’s blog loop but they aren’t displaying.

On a previous site I was able to find code that would allow us to display recently added events in the same way that we displayed blog posts on our homepage.

We’d really like to get this functionality back!

Hey mnussbaum,

If you can’t get events to show in the main blog loop, even though you’ve checked that option, that could indicate a code conflict or something on your site that’s preventing the code from that option from working effectively.

I’m curious, can you address each of these pieces of information as follows?

1. What version of WordPress are you running on your site?
2. What version of The Events Calendar (free version) are you running on your site?
3. What version of Events Calendar PRO are you running on your site?
4. If you activate a default theme like Twenty Twelve on your site, do the events show up in the main blog loop any more successfully than prior?
5. If #4 here is “NO”, then how about if you leave the default theme active and then proceed with deactivating other plugins on your site one at a time?

Let us know what you find!

We are using the most recent versions of WordPress, The Events Calendar, and Events Calendar PRO.

With plugins deactivated the events still were not showing on the home page.

In the past I believe we used some kind of custom code for a loop that pulled in the most recently added events and displayed them through a Category widget. This may have coupled with the Events Rocket plugin, I do not recall.

Are you either aware of any such code out in the wild, or are you able to provide some support? We’d love to be able to list the recently added events so people can see what’s new to the calendar.

Hey mnussbaum,

You mention that “With plugins deactivated the events still were not showing on the home page.”, but what did you find when you deactivated your theme? Just curious.

As for special code being added on your site, this could indeed be the source of the problem. I’d encourage you to try to find this on your site, make a copy of it somewhere for a backup, and then temporarily remove it from your site altogether. See how things go.

Thanks for your patience, let us know what you find! 🙂
