Related Events bug showing all events as either recurring or not

[George Pytlik]

There appears to be a bug in the Related Events functionality on The Event Calendar Pro. It was showing some one-off events as recurring events. I did some exploring and it seems that what the plugin is doing is treating ALL related events as being either recurring or not. Unfortunately the site is not yet live so you can’t view it, but here are two screen shots to illustrate the problem:

When recurring events are shown, it shows all three as being recurring if there are at least two recurring events, or all three as being not, if only one of the three is a recurring event.

Hi adwiz,

Thanks for reporting this – there does indeed seem to be a bug here.

Best I can tell the recurrence information being appended is incorrect even if the related event is recurring (it’s simply the recurrence information that applies to the single event being viewed rather than the related event itself).

With that in mind, until we can get a fix in place in an upcoming release, it may be best to simply disable this in respect of related events.

To do that, can you try adding the following piece of code to your theme’s functions.php file?

add_filter( 'tribe_get_related_posts', 'hide_recurrence_info_from_related_posts' );

function hide_recurrence_info_from_related_posts( $html ) {
	if ( tribe_is_event() && is_singular() ) {
		TribeEventsPro::instance()->disable_recurring_info_tooltip();
	}
	
	return $html;
}

Does that work for you/at least give you some temporary relief?

This fix works perfectly and will do great until you can get the issue fixed. Thanks so much!

Pleasure 🙂

I’ll close this thread, but I have linked it to the corresponding bug report on our internal issue tracker and as soon as we’ve got some progress to report (realistically, this might be one or more releases away) we’ll certainly do our best to re-open the thread and post an update.

Thanks once again!

Hi there,

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. We weren’t able to get to it for our upcoming 3.8 release, but it is still very much on the radar. We hope to have it fixed in an upcoming release, and we will do our best to keep you posted on our progress. Thanks for your patience and support!

Best,
