Posts Page displaying Events after 4.4 upgrade

[Jason]

Upgraded to 4.4 and set the homepage to be “Main events page” and removed the redirect I had created. That portion works well.

However, now when I click on Posts the Events page appears there as well. I confirmed that the Reading Settings Front Page: Main events page and Posts page: Blog.

If I revert back to assigning Front page: Events the post page works as expected.

Please help. 🙂

Hello Jason,

Thanks for reaching out with your issue. I’m really sorry you are having this. I quickly tested and have managed to recreate it. It looks like we have a bug on our hand.

I will file an internal bug ticket for this so our developers can issue a fix. I will set the status of your thread to pending fix, so you will be notified once the fix is out.

Until the fix comes here is a workaround you can do:

• Create a blank page and use one of the shortcodes to create your desired calendar view.
• Set this page as the main page instead of Main events page.
• Set the Posts page to blog as before.

Let me know if this workaround works for you.

Thanks and cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

Thank you. I do love finding bugs.

I can make the ‘work around’ functional by using a redirect. The only issue is this method cause the Page Title to appear on the Home Page (which is actually the redirected page) as “Archive”. I’m unable to identify CSS code that will remove the Page title for a single page.

If there was a work around for this work around, it would solve my problem indeed. 🙂

Best regards,
Jason

Trying to identify CSS to remove the ‘Page Title’ for a specific page. The work around I had to use to put the calendar on the Main Page causes the page title to appear as ‘Archives’.

Please help.

Hi Jason,

Try this css snippet in your style.css file:

body.events-archive .header-post-title-container {
display: none;
}

This should hide the whole line that contains “Archives”.

Does this solve it?

A.

[Jason]

That does allow for a useable work around. Thank you.

Will I be notified when the original bug I found is resolved?

[Andras]

Absolutely Jason. We will post an update here in this thread and if you have the email notifications switched on, then you’ll also get it via mail.

Although I don’t want to make any promises, I think the fix will come in about a month or so.

Thanks again for reporting this and for your patience.

Cheers,
Andras
