Gray Screen, Recurring event

[flourishdesignstudio]

Hi! I purchased the PRO plugin so that I could have recurring events. When trying to edit them, I get the pop-up box behind the gray screen. I tried using the code I found in a thread to fix it, but it broke the site, so I removed it. I placed that piece of code at the end of functions.php because it did not specify where to put it. Can you help, please? Thanks!

Hi flourishdesignstudio – are you referring to this code and if so can you share your functions.php file so we can see where you positioned it, etc?

(Please share any code via a service like Pastebin or Gist rather than pasting it directly in the forum 🙂 )

Thanks!

Yup, that’s the code that I tried adding. But, I’ve never added anything to the functions.php file. So, I guessed where to put it and placed it at the very bottom to give it a try. It did not work, so I removed it so that the site worked again. 😉 I’m just not sure where to add code within that file.

I just joined PasteBin, and I pasted my functions.php code there. It’s just the standard WP code because I have not (don’t know how to) edit it. I’m not sure how to share it with you, but there’s a link that might help: http://pastebin.com/u/flourishdesignstudio

I’m afraid I can’t see anything of use with that link:

Flourishdesignstudio has no public pastes.

Perhaps you marked your paste as being private?

It’s just the standard WP code because I have not (don’t know how to) edit it.

OK – but based on your opening post you did try adding the snippet to functions.php at some point, right? That’s what we’re interested in seeing (in case there are any obvious errors that jump out at us).

Thanks!

Hi Barry! I just repasted the code and made sure that it was marked as public. I think this is a direct link. http://pastebin.com/97YhZqpc

I have a training session with my client tomorrow, so I am really hoping to get this worked out today. I had hoped it would be an easy upgrade. So, I appreciate your help!

Thanks flourishdesignstudio,

I don’t believe that is the correct functions.php file. Confusingly, there are a few files with that name within the WordPress codebase! You seem to have found this one:

wp-includes/functions.php

However, in this case we want to target your theme’s functions.php file. If you were using the default Twenty Twelve theme, as an example, you would find it in the following location:

wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/functions.php

And so if you basically substitute “twentytwelve” with the directory name of your own theme you should be able to find it. Does that help at all?

[flourishdesignstudio]

Great, so I just place that snippet of code at the end of that file?

[Barry]

Yes, that’s the idea 🙂

[flourishdesignstudio]

Thank you!! That did the trick!:) It would probably be good for you to mention which functions.php to edit in your support area for dummies like me!

Anyway, just one more question… is there a way for AM events to be listed before PM events? You can see my calendar at http://rasaspa.com/calendar/2013-10/ and morning events are listed after evening ones.

[Barry]

Can you break that second question into a new thread? It helps us to keep things organized and actually makes it faster for us to help you.

Glad you’re all sorted on the recurring dialog front 🙂
