Published events not posting to my sites calendar

[innergy4every1]

Hello, I am having trouble with my events NOT posting to my sites calendar or only selective events are publishing but not all published.
I have experienced them posting sometimes but skipping several months then posting also. So much so I deactivated the calendar view, which was my default b4. As of now only 1 event post to calendar as it should, when all should be present there. HELP please… thanks in advance

Hello innergy4every1,

Thanks for contacting us and sorry you are experiencing these complications!

It can be tough to troubleshoot these types of situations, because each WordPress install is unique with different plugins, themes and configurations.

More than likely, there is a conflict with one of your plugins. Will you please walk through this tutorial, to see if you can identify the conflict?

Once we know the source of the conflict we may then be able to resolve it.

Cheers!

Thanks for your response and the direction. Following the troubleshooting advice I am now at least able to access MY personal Google Cal and the event does post there but, in the description it is posting with shortcode in the description.
ex:
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][heading style=”def” heading=”NEED TO KNOW” firstword=”yes” dotted=”yes” paddingtop=”0″ paddingbottom=”5″][vc_column_text]Early registrations will have opportunity for a FREE fitness assessment.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
I have not gone any further as yet with the tutorial b’cause the problem was I could not even access the calendar. Have access now, but I know it should not display with shortcode, especially since ALL plugins are still de-activated.
I will finalize the troubleshooting tutorial but can you please address the “shortcodes in the google calendar description, w/all plugins de-activated still.”

Thanks and appreciate the assistance…

I reactivated my theme and tried to duplicate the problem (no access to google calendar), I am able to access the calendar BUT, now shortcode is appearing on my event post page. This is a new issue and was not present b4 starting (step 1 – Finding the source of a conflict)???
Help please…

Hello innergy4every1,

I’m not sure we’ll be able to find a way around this. Shortcodes are text within the content block of the event and they are converted to html according to the plugin that registers that shortcode. When that shortcode plugin is deactivated, the shortcode text will still appear.

Even if it is activated, I don’t believe the Google Calendar exporter is built to render shortcodes. In fact, I believe it is made to strip all html elements, to prevent awkward formatting in the Google Calendar box.

Sorry for the opaque answer!

Does this make sense? Let me know if I can explain anything else!

Cheers!
