hyperlink on calendar view does not show next month – (there are events listed)

[ryan]

the hyperlinks in calendar shows the “next month>> ” but not the month following that – could this be solved with the proper settings?

Hey Ryan,

Do you mean that you have events farther in the future than September 26? If so, can you link to some of these individual events?

Also, one thing to note is that your site’s version of WordPress is quite outdated – version 3.5.1. This could lead to odd issues on your site and you’re highly, highly encouraged to update WordPress to its most recent version, 4.2.3 (or at least version 4.1 or something).

Thanks,
George

Hey Ryan,

There are generally some limits with the month view when it comes to pagination – you can only paginate into next or previous months that have events. However, if you go to some obscure month way in the future or past via direct URL, i.e. not by clicking “Next” and “Previous”-month links, you can get to the month in the future. It will just be empty. For example, here’s a screenshot of August 2019 on my local testing site → https://cloudup.com/cXg9WCIKtyp

You can’t get there by pagination, but can head to the /events/2019-08/ URL directly and see that screen.

I hope that helps a bit.

When it comes to your version of WordPress itself, I totally understand your predicament of not wanting to update WordPress with so many moving parts on a site. It can be scary 🙂

The limitation with support there is not so much that we don’t care about older versions – but that things within WordPress change quite a bit, and our plugin code changes quite a bit along with it to keep up. So, if there are non-normative issues on a customer’s site for example, the WP Version matters because it could be a potential source of the conflict.

So – if you’re able to paginate to all the months where you do have events, but are not able to paginate past these months into certain months in the future where no events are added yet: this is by design.

But, if you do have months in the future that do have events and cannot paginate to them, then unfortunately the first steps along the way to being able to fix this would be to update WordPress itself, and see how that affects the behavior if at all.

Let me know what you think! With a bit more info on the pagination limitations, do you think things are actually working as designed?

Cheers,
George

I certainly appreciate that you have stuck with me for a solution.
I considered the problem from a different angle. The event that has been listed in September this whole time – is an event that spans 2 days. I re-entered the event for each day individually and voila! The hyperlink to continue to September >> appears.

Thank you for your attention!

No problem ryan – thank you for your patience with the issue and for sharing what you did to fix your problem.

We’re working on some pagination improvements in general and will give some special attention to this during testing and QA, so your input here has put this a bit higher on our radar and we greatly appreciate that (other users who want pagination to work 100% of the time will appreciate it, too 🙂 ).

Thanks Ryan, best of luck with your site!
