Latest .4 release has No Results Found on home page

[Cynthia Lockley]

I updated to the .4 release that was just put out and now the home page says:

Nothing Found
Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post.

No calendar, no events, no news posts. I had this problem before I reported in an earlier ticket: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/after-latest-update-site-says-nothing-found-error-log-is-full-of-calendar-probs/ The end result of fixing that was directions from Brian:

If you uncheck this setting here:

Events > Settings > General Tab > “Recurring event instances”

The home page then returned and everything in my functions.php file worked correctly .

I checked my settings and somehow that “Recurring event instances” had gotten rechecked. I unchecked it and now I am getting the correct functions.

By the way, in the settings for this it says “(only affects list-style views).” That should be modified that it also affects the home page and calendar view.

Hi Again,

Sorry for this issue coming back.

I agree we can look into improving this function.

Do you have a snippet on your site to change the order of the events when in your main loop?

Maybe from this guide:

Order Events by Post Date in the Main WordPress Post Query

Let me know and I may have a snippet so you can use that Recurrence setting and reorder the events to publish date.

Let me know.

Thanks

Brian,
The snippet in https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/order-events-in-main-blog-loop-by-post-date/ just reorders the future event posts by date and puts them all at the top of the post feed. That hid all the recent news posts at the bottom below all future events. I wanted all event and news posts sorted by date published so that recent news posts appear at the top intermixed with future events. If a future event was published two weeks ago and a news post about that event was published yesterday, the news post should appear at the top of the post feed instead of after all future event posts.

Here is my snippet that got worked out with Geoff. See my notes in the comments in the snippet. This is a combination of the snippet given in https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/customize-rss-feed/ for reordering the posts by date published, with code snippets you supplied earlier for combining all posts in the order published, with modifications from Geoff, and with using your suggestion to uncheck the “Recurring events instances”. See end of Ticket https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/after-latest-update-site-says-nothing-found-error-log-is-full-of-calendar-probs/ and the end of ticket https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/posts-are-getting-posted-in-the-wrong-order/.

// NOTE: The “Recurring events instances” setting must be unchecked in the settings for this to work. Otherwise,

// Not sure if the third function is really needed now because when the “Recurring events instances” was checked
// on, that code just gave a list of all post categories starting with April 2007. When the box is unchecked, I get
// what I want–all posts ordered by the date published–intermixing event posts with news posts.

Hi,

We are looking into this issue, but changes to the recurring event system has created some issues here and we are not sure what the issue is.

Part of the issue is trying to order posts and events together when they use two different order systems and then throwing in removing recurring events seems to be the wildcard that breaks it.

We are working on a solution, but I do not have a timeline for it.

If you need this resolved right away I recommend downgrading to 3.11 for now.

You can download the older versions from your account here on theeventscalendar.com and older versions of the core plugin here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/developers/

And follow these steps for a manual update.

Manual Updates

Thanks
