plugins out of date error message won't go away

[Terri]

Hi:

I update, but still get the following error message for The Events Calendar, The Events Calendar Pro and Eventbrite Tickets plugins:

The following plugins are out of date: Events Calendar PRO 2.0.8, The Events Calendar: Eventbrite Tickets 1.0.2. Please update now. All add-ons contain dependencies on The Events Calendar and will not function properly unless paired with the right version. Want to pair an older version?
Please see the screenshot for more details.

this is a live site, so it’ll be disruptive to members if I revert to a 2011 theme. is there any other way to fix this?

Thanks,
Terri

Hi Terri – I’m sorry that you’ve experienced difficulties here. Unfortunately this has affected a number of our users and hopefully this can be resolved in time for the next release.

What seems to have worked for a number of people is uploading the current versions of each plugin via FTP, overwriting the existing copies. Are you able to give this a try?

Hi Barry:

I did this and it worked! I no longer see the error message. although one related question: where can I put CSS changes that will stop them from being overwritten when I upgrade the plugin?

thanks,
Terri

Great – and sorry once again for the poor experience when updating, it is something we are aware of and hopefully it can be eliminated from future updates.

So for CSS: what you can do is copy events.css from plugins/the-events-calendar/resources and place it in your theme’s events folder, then you can customize away.

The important thing to remember is that if events.css is present in your theme’s events folder then the original version (contained in the plugin directory) will no longer be used – so the key takeaway is that you can’t create mytheme/events/events.css and only put in one or two rules to override the original stylesheet, since that will never be loaded.

In other words, make sure it contains all of the same rules as the original, at least as a starting point. I hope that makes sense but just let me know if you need any further help here.
