Single event view – details – Website url isn’t a hyperlink

[Peter]

Hi There,

This may be an odd issue with my site, but check out the “Website” under “Details”:
https://somaticexperiencing.com/event/therapeutic-presence-therapeutic-rhythms-an-se-principles-workshop-in-chester-ct/

The URL isn’t being made into a link. Which is what I would want so that people can go to the page to register.

Hi Peter

Can you start by going through our Testing for Conflicts Guide https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/?  I am wondering if you might have a plugin or theme conflict.  Begin by deactivating all other plugins, using a theme such as Twenty Seventeen https://wordpress.org/themes/twentyseventeen/, and see if the issue still persists.

Also, double check for any other updates available (Dashboard » Updates). 

Please let me know if the issue still persists after these tests.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,
Now that the demo page is working today, I see that “website” should provide a link. I will investigate, thank you.

[Courtney]

Sure thing Peter. Do keep me posted if you find a conflict or need further help.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Hi Courtney,

I found the problem – No anchor tag around the relevant $website variable in details.php in my custom theme folder.

I had asked my developer a while back to move the event details and registration to underneath the featured image of any event post. He had created copies of the relevant tribe files in my theme folder. I troubleshot whether it was these custom files by renaming the custom tribe-event folder and refreshing the page. I found out that the website links now worked. I renamed the folder back, and I searched this [custom-theme-name]/tribe-event folder for
<dd class="tribe-events-url"
And I found it inside of tribe-event/modules/meta/details.php

Originally, it was written as <dd class="tribe-events-event-url"><?php echo $website; ?></dd>so it echoed the website variable, but didn’t wrap it in a tag.

So, I added an anchor tag (and set the href argument to echo the $website variable again) around the <?php echo $website; ?> so it looks like this.
<dd class="tribe-events-event-url"><a href="<?php echo $website?>">><?php echo $website?></a></dd>;

Added this info in case any other beginners have a similar problem.

That’s great to hear Peter. I’m glad you found the help you needed with your theme as well.

Come back again if there is anything else we can help you with.
