Sub-Categories not showing up properly in Community Events frontend columns

[karen]

I do not think that the Sub-Category feature sorts properly when viewing the community Events frontend. I took out the sub-categories and it all lines up fine. Is there a way to remedy this with CSS or is this a bug?

Hi Karen,

It looks like there are quite a few problems (JavaScript-related) on the submission page.

Though it’s possible some of these are triggered by other plugins, I suspect a number of them may be directly tied to your theme. If you switch temporarily to a default theme (or try to replicate this on a test site with just a default theme, such as Twenty Fifteen), do you find the same problem occurs?

yeah, you are right. My theme converts the categories to a table apparently, where as 2015 is a pulldown list (accordion style). Changing to the Tribe Event style sheet does not seem to help either.

So there are a few problems and they don’t just impact the submission page, but they certainly lead to a few problems happening (including, I suspect, the way the category list renders).

TypeError: $ is undefined

I can see this on all/most of your pages – it isn’t introduced by our own code, however, rather it is a bit of inline JavaScript that probably introduced by your theme (but possibly by another plugin).

There’s a further problem created by integration with a polling/rating service, which may or may not be added by your theme – but again really ought to be cleared up:

ReferenceError: PDRTJS_settings_7152581_post_20901 is not defined

Last but not least, and I suspect this one is the result of some processes your theme implements, it looks like it is trying format some of our own JavaScript as if it were ordinary text – and is breaking it (this error only occurs on the submission page):

SyntaxError: unterminated string literal

So there’s quite a few things that need to be cleaned up, I’m afraid, and I suspect there may be other breakages besides the category selector in the submission form because of these issues (unless you’re very lucky!).
