In single page, calendar page and archive don't compare the sidebar

[Annarosa]

Hi boys. I’m a little down, the problems do not end, this time. I have changed template and removed the plugin that create conflicts. All seemed to work but suddendly yesterday evening in the calendar’s pages (single page, calendar and archive) the sidebar is disappeared. I made many attempts (for hours), including changing the slugs and creating new pages, but nothing changes and the sidebar is still missing. Do you have an idea for the cause and the solution? Thanks for any suggestion

Hi Annarosa,

Thanks for getting in touch and sorry to hear about this issue. I’ll help you out…

First thing is to change the event template in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Display, as most themes include the sidebar in pages switching this option to Default Page template generally works. If the sidebar isn’t showing with any of the existing page templates, you might need to create a new page template that incorporates a sidebar, or create a template override for the default events template.

Please let me know if switching the event template solves this,
Best,
Nico

Hi Annarosa,

Thanks for following up! Let’s create a template override of the default events template to see if we can find a solution for this. For more details on the override please check our themer’s guide, but basically this is it “Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/default-template.php”. Once you have the copy of the template in place, try adding the sidebar using the get_sidebar function:


...
get_header();
?>
<?php get_sidebar( 'sidebar-name' ); ?>
<div id=”tribe-events-pg-template”>
...


Be sure to replace the ‘sidebar-name’ for the one you are trying to include. Also this might work but it all depends on how your theme is settings things up!

Please let me know if this works for the site or we still need to look for other options,
Best,
Nico

Thank you very much, I understand and I did, however, the bar appears below or above and not by side … i add ‘right’, but don’t work…

Hey Annarosa,

Seems we are doing some progress! You can inspect the theme’s page template (page.php file inside theme folder) and emulate the mark up in that file. There’s probably a div for the main content and a other elements for the sidebar. If you are not sure about it maybe it’s a good idea to reach out to the theme authors, maybe they can give you more accurate info on this.

Have a great weekend,
Nico

Hey Nico, I would like to shorten the names of the days in Italian (LUN – MON – instead of LUNEDI’- MONDAY – etc.), where I find them? I looked in the file the-events-calendar-it_IT .po, but I have not found. Thanks

Hi Annarosa,

Thanks for following up! As we don´t monitor the forums on weekends so just catching up with your messages right now…

I see you are still struggling with the theme. On that matter as you could see I can only point you in the right direction, but I cannot install the theme and test how it behaves with our plugin.

I see you could make it work for single event pages but not for month and list view. The issue you are seeing for main views is happening because the theme tries to show the full content as an excerpt (short description) instead as the full content. We have a guide for the Genesis theme that addresses this and explains why it is happening: Genesis theme framework integration. I’m aware you are using a different theme but the options are probably similar. Please give this a try and let me know!

Regarding recommended themes, you can read this article by Jen: Compatible Themes for The Events Calendar. As you say sometimes it’s a good idea to hire a customizer to set up the theme/plugins for you, checkout a list of recommended freelancers.

Finally can you open up a new thread for the abbreviations you would like to make. We keep just one issue per thread.

Thanks!
Nico
