Thanks for letting us know, highasp. We’ll be here when you’re ready. 🙂

DEACTIVATE the search bar…it just worked for me!!!

I was able to test the website tonight. I deactivated all plugins except The Events Calendar and Pro and switched to the 2013 theme (I don’t have 2012). The calendar pages then loaded all events on both Firefox and IE. I then went through the plugins. The conflicting plugin in Press Permit Core (http://presspermit.com/) which we are running the Pro version of. And, the latest version (2.1.38). This is a vital plugin for the client as it is used to give all their staff access only to their section of the website. Is there anyone at Modern Tribe who has ever dealt with this plugin that might be able to figure out why it is causing this problem?

Congratulations on finding the conflict, highasp! 🙂 Well done!

I’m not familiar with Press Permit. Are you using it for user/role/content management? If so, Members (http://wordpress.org/plugins/members/) might be a great solution to you that we know plays well with TEC.

Otherwise, we’d really appreciate it if you’d get in touch with the Press Permit devs and ask them to look into what’s going on. We’ve never had another report of this particular conflict, so we don’t really know what to suggest. If they do find something where we’re going against best practices, we’d love to hear about  it! 🙂

Thanks for your sleuthing! Hopefully, we can get you back in business very soon! 🙂

Hi folks,

I’m happy to report that we have fixed this in our upcoming version 3.4. Keep an eye on your Plugins page for an update message! Thanks for your patience while we worked on this.

Best,
Leah

Upgrading to the latest versions of The Events Calendar (3.4.1), The Events Calendar Pro (3.4), and Press Permit Core Pro (2.1.42) under the latest version of WordPress (3.8.1) didn’t solve the compatibility issue between The Events Calendar and Press Permit that causes no events to display when clicking from month to month. I knew it wouldn’t, but, hey, a girl can dream! I’ve done some research and unfortunately it was a known issue. Wish I had known this before I installed Press Permit Core, but I didn’t have much choice as we had originally used Role Scoper which went defunct and was replaced with Press Permit Core. C’est la vie! According to the WordPress.org plugin page (http://wordpress.org/plugins/press-permit-core/other_notes/), this incompatibility has existed since The Events Calendar version 1.6.3 at least. The developer suggests this workaround:

change the-events-calendar.class.php as follows :

add_filter( ‘posts_join’, array( $this, ‘events_search_join’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_where’, array( $this, ‘events_search_where’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’,array( $this, ‘events_search_orderby’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_fields’, array( $this, ‘events_search_fields’ ) );
add_filter( ‘post_limits’, array( $this, ‘events_search_limits’ ) );

to:

if( ! is_admin() ) {
add_filter( ‘posts_join’, array( $this, ‘events_search_join’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_where’, array( $this, ‘events_search_where’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_orderby’,array( $this, ‘events_search_orderby’ ) );
add_filter( ‘posts_fields’, array( $this, ‘events_search_fields’ ) );
add_filter( ‘post_limits’, array( $this, ‘events_search_limits’ ) );
}

I was able to find the the-events-calendar.class.php in the lib subdirectory, but those lines of code don’t exist as noted anymore.

Does anything in what the developer suggested give you a clue as to what could possible fix this problem?

I’ve posted to the support forums (http://wordpress.org/support/topic/incompatibility-with-the-events-calendar-and-pro) in the hopes of getting a response on the compatibility issue and maybe an updated workaround.

Hi highasp,

We would not recommend editing core plugin code – but I suspect the code you are looking for is now in the TribeEventsQuery class (in lib/tribe-event-query.php). A cleaner way to approach this would be to remove any filters that are causing problems from late on during the pre_get_posts action – and that would avoid any such modification being wiped upon an update.

My sense this is more of an integration issue than a bug as such. I’m not familiar with Permit Press, but I wonder if any other tools out there could help you achieve the same thing without any need to do this?

Thanks!

Hi, highasp! I just wanted to check in and see how you were doing. Have you found a solution that works for you?

[Kelly]

Hi again, highasp. Since it’s been quite a while, I’m going to close this thread. Please start a new one if you’d like to pursue this further.

Thanks for being a TEC User!
