Previous Events Link Generating Wrong Url

[Neil Harner]

In the list view for my Events, the Previous Events link at the bottom has the correct url, but when I click on it I am being brought to the wrong url query string.

I start here:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/

When I click Previous Events, the link points here:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past&tribe_paged=1

But this is the url that loads:
http://www.fsabc.org/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past

Then if I select previous events again, the same information loads. If I manually enter the correct url:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past&tribe_paged=1

and change the tribe_paged:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past&tribe_paged=2

It works fine.

It works for the first page of Previous Events. But if I click on the link again, the same information stays on the page.
If I open the Previous Events link in a new tab, it works fine.

I tried changing the theme to 2013, and disabled all other plugins. I also looked into the browser console for JS. Neither of these changed the functionality.

Any ideas?

Hi Neill,

When I visited your site to try and see the problem, I found that if I started here:

http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/

Then clicked on the previous events link, I was taken here:

http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past

So – unlike you – I stayed within the staging subdomain. I’m not quite sure what to suggest here – our plugin bases its URLs on those defined for WordPress itself (typically this is configured in your WordPress settings screens).

Is it possible it was a temporary quirk of the hosting platform? Are you still experiencing the same thing?

Barry,

Thanks for taking a look into this issue. I made the mistake of copying the wrong url in the above post.

On this page:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/

The previous events link points here:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_event_display=past&tribe_paged=1

But when you click on it, it goes here:
http://fsabc.staging.wpengine.com/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past

See how the query string gets reversed?

Then when you click on Previous Events again, the url loads the same info since the tribe_paged number does not change. It only goes back to April 2015. If you manually enter a new tribe_paged number it works, but not when you click the Previous Events link.

Sorry for the confusion.

Neil

Neil – thanks for clarifying.

I see exactly what you mean and have logged a bug report for this – we’ll do our best to post an update once we are close to a fix 🙂

Thanks for reporting this and our apologies for the disruption in the interim.

[Neil Harner]

Thanks, Barry!

I THINK I’m running into the same bug. But my sequence/symptoms are slightly different.

On my site-in-question (transitionalbany.org), the default calendar view is Month. I go there and end up with “http://transitionalbany.org/events/”, which is fine.

I then switch to list view, and end up with “http://transitionalbany.org/events/list/”, which is fine.

I click “Previous Events”, and end up with “http://transitionalbany.org/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past”, which is fine.

But from this point on, clicking Previous Events will continue to yield the URL I just listed–and thus the user can’t navigate to earlier events.

Thanks.

Hi Bob,

That sounds like essentially the same problem.

Definitely feel free to monitor this topic as we’ll strive to update it once a fix becomes available.

I just tested, and it fixed the problem on my site. Thanks for the quick action!

[Barry]

Awesome.

At this point I will go ahead and close this topic, but of course should either of you hit further difficulties with this or anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new one – one of the team will be only too happy to help 🙂
