"Member Only" events showing at times in Calendar

[Mark Hopwood]

We are using the Events Calendar Pro in conjunction with another plugin called WordPress Access Control. This gives us the ability to mark specific events “Member Only”.

I have noticed that when I go to the calendar initially, it correctly hides those events marked member only but when I change the month, they are visible.

1) Go here: http://tomtest.wpengine.com/calendar/
2) Click on April link on bottom right
3) Shows 12 events.
4) Click refresh. All the member only events now disappear. leaving you with 2 events.
5) Click on May and then back to April, all events back.

another example

1) Go here: http://tomtest.wpengine.com/calendar/
2) You see theres only 2 events.
3) Click on April and then back to March. All events show.
4) Click refresh, back to 2 events.

If you use the months URL and paste that directly into the address bar (http://tomtest.wpengine.com/calendar/2016-04/) the member only events are correctly hidden. It is until you move within the calendar grid between months do they show.

You still need to login to view the event’s details even when they show.

So basically my question is:

Is this an issue with the calendar grid? And how items are being loaded when you move between the months? Or is this not an issue with Events Calendar at all? Just seems odd that they are displayed one way and hidden the other.

Thank you for any assistance.

Hey Robert,

I’m sorry to hear about these issues!

It seems like the issue happening with the AJAX features, specifically. To help me investigate a bit more closely, can you share your system information with us?

Here’s how → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

I will use this to see if I can rule out some factors for this problem, and then do some testing of my own to see if I can recommend a solution.

Thank you!
George

Thanks for this, @Robert. Nothing problematic is standing out in the information, and so unfortunately this seems to be a problem related to the WP Access Control plugin settings applying in AJAX requests.

The only solution I can see from there is to contact the WP Access Control plugin developers for some support as to why that might be happening.

For a temporary fix, though, I do have one recommendation—is there any way you can put all “members only” events into one category? This category doesn’t have to be “used” for anything on the front-end; just an administrative-purposes category, and so if all members-only events are in this category, I can recommend a custom CSS solution to ENSURE that these are hidden no matter what.

If you categorize these events in one category, let me know! I’ll take a look again and will recommend some code to fix this and emsure those events remain hidden.

That seems like it would be the only solution at this time. Can you provide that custom CSS solution please? Thanks!

Actually, if this is what you are referring to George:

Need to be able to parse calendar based on login credentials

I used this and it worked. This is resolved. Thanks!

Glad to hear that helped! Best of luck with your project. 🙂
