Mini Calendar Widget

[Jack Tumpson]

Hey Guys,
I am having trouble with my mini calendar widget. None of the links seem to work on the actual mini calendar. They are all just “#” anchor tags that take the user to the top of the page.
Thanks,
-Jordan

Jordan,
Thanks for reaching out! This is due to your theme not respecting the before_widget params in the register_sidebar() declaration. This causes issues with CSS classes not getting added to the widget container, and breaking the AJAX functionality.

We’re looking at the possibility of removing this dependence on the before_widget params in a future version, but in the mean time, you’ll need to reach out to the developer of your theme to get their assistance in adding the appropriate before_widget params to add CSS classes to the widget container.

Hopefully that helps to answer your question, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated if we change this functionality in a future version. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for the timely response, I will get in contact with my themes developer but I must ask, should the “before_widget” be set to the default? I guess I am confused about how you found this out. Maybe if I could start down the same road as you I can find a resolution.

whirlmagazine,
Your developer will just need to make sure that he includes the ‘%2$s’ in the ‘class’ declaration in before_widget (screenshot). This is where WordPress automatically adds classes for each widget, and is best practices for theme development. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for the information, I think I can handle that.
Take Care,

Great! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
