month view in display:none after update from 2.0.11 to 3.9

[Serge]

Hi,

I created development site to update and troubleshoot the events calendar update.

Right now everything is fine, except for the monthly view. It loads, but disappear. After looking at the code, I found this:
<table class=”tribe-events-calendar” style=”display: none;”>

I looked at the templates for the monthly view, but I cant find this anywhere. It seems the problem comes from the template, because when reverting to the 2011 theme all was fine.

But I have no idea how to troubleshoot where that is coming from. Can you help me with this ?

Hi!

So just to clarify, this problem only takes place with your particular theme in place? What theme is that if so? Can you also confirm if it includes custom event templates and are those the seat of this issue?

If so, would it be possible to simply revert to the new default templates and if necessary customize from there?

Thanks!

I did not make any changes to the events templates, only in css. And the monthly calendar was disappearing befeire I made any changes to the css.

I am using this template:
http://themeforest.net/item/rttheme-17-responsive-wordpress-theme/2703099

I do have a /events/ folder in my theme folder, from my 2.0.11 installation. Should I remove that ?

It’s hard to assess: your live site still seems to be running 2.0.11 and so I can’t actually review the problem first hand. Is your development side accessible or can you make it accessible?

Thanks!

So the problem seems to stem from rttheme17-new/js/jquery.prettyPhoto.js (a jQuery plugin): blocking this script resolves the problem. I’m not entirely sure why this is misbehaving and as the source is minified it’s not too easy to read through it.

What I can see is that it uses jquery.hide() in a few places to hide various elements, so one theory/wild guess is that it is finding the featured images within the calendar table and is trying to apply its particular magic to them, but its targeting isn’t specific enough and it ends up hiding the entire table by accident.

If you don’t need this plugin perhaps there is some straightforward means of disabling it? Or else you could dequeue it with a short code snippet. Regardless, for further help on this one I’d recommend reaching out to the theme author as they will be best placed to guide you and help you troubleshoot further.

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!
