Shows events starting 2 months back + Pictures cant be imported + upgrade fail

[kulturkonsulterna]

Hi! I have problems since upgrading to 3.8.1

1) The events calendar starts with events 2 months back.
2) Pictures cannot be imported
3) Upgrading Community events failure, it stops at version 3.7

I have tried to go back to original theme “Twelve”, and also to deactivate other plugins. No change.
What can I do?

Hi

Sorry for the issues you are having I can help troubleshoot this with you.

See my answers below:

1) The events calendar starts with events 2 months back.

I went to your site and see you have events starting in August and going until November. Since that Event is still going it is being shown there. That is how it was intended to work.

2) Pictures cannot be imported

Where are you trying to import pictures? If it is from Facebook Events, please try adding this filter as it resolves some issues with filenames. However, some images may still not work during the import. We are working on a fix for the next release.

Try out this snippet in your theme’s function.php in the mean time to fix the issue:

3) Upgrading Community events failure, it stops at version 3.7

Not sure what is causing that are you able to delete the plugin from your site and download the lastest version from your account here?

Let me know and we can go from there.

Thanks

Hi Brian and thank you for your answer,

I still need assistance though.

1) Ok I understand. Is there a way to make calendar start from today?

2) I still cant upload any pictures from my computer. I now think its related to my issue number 3.

3) I deleted the plugin and downloaded the latest version from your site. I got this message “Unable to create directory uploads/2014/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” This is the same message i get when trying to upload picture from my computer.

Thank you again / Rico

Ok I see what is happening. That is a WordPress and hosting issue. For some reason your file permissions are not enabling you to write to the server with WordPress.

Here is an article on file permissions from WordPress:

You may have to contact your hosting company as well to fix it. Since it is a WordPress/Host issue there is not much support we can give beyond this to fix it, just give you the information above.

1) Ok I understand. Is there a way to make calendar start from today?

It already is showing from today, but it finds events that are still going on so it shows their start dates. I do not see a way around that without significant customization.

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
