Mini Calendar Widget shows theme loop posts on load instead of events

[dupagechildrens]

I have the widget loaded in the sidebar of most pages, and when a page loads, the widget lists the current page/post rather than the day’s events. When I click on the current day (or any other day) in the widget calendar, it loads the correct events to the list as expected. If the page I’m on has a list of posts loaded, the widgets will list those, as well, until clicked as described above.

So the widget is working properly, but the initial trigger to load the current day query is not firing on the page load. Assuming this is a jquery/ajax function that should trigger this, I suspect there is a conflict somewhere that is suppresssing this trigger or the trigger is being loaded too early or late.

Would anyone have any guidance as to where to find the jquery script that initially triggers the current day on the widget and how I can troubleshoot this issue? I haven’t deactivated other plugins or changed themes yet because I’m working on a live site and I hope I can find a way to fix this without those steps. Any suggestions?

Hi – sorry to hear you are facing difficulties.

I definitely appreciate your reluctance to troubleshoot on a live site: would it be possible to quickly create a fresh WordPress installation, add only our plugins and confirm that there is no problem under default conditions? From there if you start adding your theme and stack of plugins you should quickly be able to arrive at the source of the conflict.

I imagine that’s going to be the fastest way forward here – could we give that a go?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
