TEC Pro: no widget events found in Google structured data testing tool #2

[Bark]

Hi there,

This time I am the one that has not been following up my initial post, shame on me 🙂

This is what I posted before: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/tec-pro-no-widget-events-found-in-google-structured-data-testing-tool/#post-1063582

I tried to copy the copy the TEC Pro 3.12.6 list-widget.php file first to the custom Tribe Events folder in my child theme, which did not work.

After that, I copied the file to the original folder of the TEC Pro 4.0.X plugin –> /plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets, which also did not work. Google’s testing tool keeps reading only three empty hcard’s:

hcard 1
fn: Alicante, Spanje
org [org]:
organization-name: Alicante, Spanje

Any simple ideas? Otherwise I am going to stick with 3.12.6, that just worked perfect for me!

Best regards,
Bark

Hi Bark. In v4.0, we switched from microformat HTML markup to JSON-LD.

In v4.0+, JSON-LD was implemented for Event Single pages but not other views (e.g. the main Events archive view or the Event widgets).

Multiple users have requested JSON-LD be implemented for views with multiple events, primarily the Events List widget.

I believe you already got all that info from your previous forum thread (which you linked to).

As far as getting that functionality back, just putting v3.12.6’s /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/widgets/list-widget.php in v4.0’s place won’t do the trick.

The microformat HTML markup and JSON-LD code isn’t in that file. Therefore, continuing to use 3.12.6 for now would be much easier to do if you require this functionality.

To answer your question regarding security, there were a couple recent fixes for the core plugin. It’ll be your choice to balance security concerns with desired functionality.

I hope this clarifies things for you. 🙂

Hi Cliff,

I am following your line of reasoning, thanks.

I would be awesome if you would leave a message when a tutorial to implement rich snippets for widgets is ready.

Thanks.

Best,
Bark

Thanks for your understanding, Bark.

I’m sure it’ll be mentioned in our updates if/when it gets implemented.

Have a great one!
