I have uploaded files in UTF-8 in the Venue upload and the Event Upload.
For both I put in my column with States in it so I could search by State.
The search function works fine in the Calendar
I am inputing these using Venue State/Province in both files
That is interesting Michael, I like how you’re building your own state selector using the existing tools! Cool idea.
I have some custom fields setup as well. But the filtering is working great for me whether I’m in category view or now. Would you mind sharing a link to the problem on your site? Perhaps that will shed a bit more light on what’s going on here.
