Sidebar shows up again on /events/ page with odd format for week and day views

[Cynthia Lockley]

Hi. This was solved at one point with help from Neil with a workaround function and some mods to the page and single php pages but now I am getting the right sidebar showing up on the /events/ page again below the event calendar. See http://events.stcwdc.org/events/ For the Month, List, Map, and Photo views the right sidebar is normal width. But for the Week and Day views, it is squeezed into a narrow column about 6 characters wide. See http://events.stcwdc.org/events/week/ and http://events.stcwdc.org/events/today/?tribe-bar-date=2013-08-09

I don’t know why the formatting is different for week and day views but I’d rather the right sidebar not show up at all on any of the views for /events/.

Hey Cynthia. Thanks for this, and apologies it slipped past us. Let me get Barry from the team to take a look here and see if he can point you in the right direction. Really appreciate your patience on this end so far.

Hi Cynthia,

I think the basic problem with the extremely narrow sidebar is that different formatting rules are applied by your theme when a 404 status (“posts not found”) is returned – which can happen on some event views when there are no events within the specified date range. It may simply be true that the particular instances of week and day view you viewed were indeed devoid of events and that’s why you saw this there (but let me know if that’s not in fact the case).

There are a few ways to hide the sidebar – once of the easiest would be a simple piece of CSS (there are more ‘elegant solutions’ which would stop the sidebar markup from being generated altogether – but without knowing exactly how your theme is pieced together I’d prefer to see if this route works for you first of all).

Can you try adding:

.events-archive #secondary { display: none; }

To your theme’s stylesheet or else to your custom tribe-events.css stylesheet (see our Themer’s Guide for details on setting that up) – or some other suitable location?

Thanks!
