Sidebar not showing on single events or calender view

Hi,

Just updated to WP 4.1.2 and The Events Calendar PRO version 3.9.2 and tis gone.

Bug?

Hey Nathaniel,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

It sounds like you had a sidebar set up on your event pages and then after updating to the latest version of the plugin it went back to a full-width layout? I apologize for the inconvenience of this issue but hopefully we can help to sort this out.

Were there any customizations made when setting up the plugin? Is it possible that updates were made directly to the templates within the “views” folder rather than those templates being moved to the theme and modified?

Typically, the event views will be full-width by default unless the setting within the Event Settings > Display tab has the “Default template” changed to be a page template with the sidebar.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks1

I’m having a similar issue … I want sidebars on every page. I’m not sure if my theme has a page template that does that … so do I need to build a page template?

Hey Samuel,

Thanks for reaching out. Typically it’s best to open a new thread so we’re able to ensure everyone gets full attention within their thread here on the forums.

Since this could apply to both, I’ll go ahead and add this response, however if you have any follow ups Samuel, please do so in a new thread 🙂

To get the sidebar to display if you don’t have a default template for displaying the layout you want, you can follow the Themer’s Guide to copy the “default-template.php” file into your theme and add the sidebar where you would like to there.

It is important to note here though that you may need to add additional class names or wrappers depending on how your theme controls the page layout. Take a look at one of the template files within your theme to get guidance on the structure you’ll want.

Thanks!
