The month-calendar in mobile view shows full weekday-names

[Jürgen]

Hi there,

the mobile view in the monthly calendar shows the full weekdayname e.g. : Mittwoch instead of Mi. That adds up to a maximum sized table header.

How can I shorten the weekdaynames ?

Thank you for your help,

Jürgen

Sorry to see this, Jürgen!

The change to only two letters should be happening automatically. I checked out your site and there was a JavaScript error on the page, so that might be causing the problem.

To try and determine the source of this error, I would recommend the following two steps:

1. Share your system information with us here, which you can do by following the steps in this article → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

2. Run through the steps here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/. Check on the mobile day names after EACH STEP in that process—anywhere along the way, does the behavior change?

Let us know what you find!

Thank you,
George

Hi George,

is there any way, I can export or save my data from events calendar and the reinstall the plugin ?

Because I dind´t change any of the php files. Only the CSS and this ist stored in the Custom CSS file.
So I figured, if I just reinstall it completely, it might work again ?

I just don´t want to need to put all the data back in again.

Regards,

Jürgen

Hey @Jürgen,

To be clear, I’m not recommending reinstalling everything on your site just yet! 🙂 Those steps I recommended are only about DEACTIVATING some plugins temporary, not DELETING them.

Apologies for the capitalized words there—just wanted to emphasize those for absolute clarity.

If you want to go the route of reinstalling things regardless, then yes, you can export and re-import data in a number of ways. A simple method is described here, for example → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-wordpress-export-tools-to-migrate-events-content/

However, even if you delete The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro that should not erase any event data whatsoever. Once you reinstall, all of the data should reappear without issue. 🙂

I hope this helps! Let me know how you choose to proceed and what you find by doing so.

Sincerely,
George

Hi George,

I finally found the mistake ! It was all mine !! !

I wanted to edit some php files and found some code snippets in your documentation. So I added it to the functions.php of my site, where I completely forgot it.

I just removed it and all the views are in order now.

I still get a message saying that the google maps api is missing:

“Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys”

Should be related to events-calendar.

But it´s only an information, no error.

Thank you for your help and patience,

With kind regards,
Jürgen

[George]

Glad to hear it Jürgen!

Is the Google Maps API warning you report something that arises in your site’s JavaScript console? Or does it arise in ANY other location?

This might not actually be related to The Events Calendar—it could be associated with some issues arising from your theme or from other plugins.

Thank you!
George

Hi George,

it shows up as soon as I open any page from the events calendar, where the goolge map is included.

I don´t have any other Google maps in my website.

[George]

Thanks for the follow-up, Jürgen.

The good news is that it doesn’t seem to be impacting the actual performance of the maps—nothing seems to break outright, I mean.

As for the notice itself, I cannot recreate it. It may be arising because your hosting situation—this seems to be a shared host, for example. Is it? If so, then the IP addresses from this host might be making many requests to Google thus causing this error or something. I honestly do not know. 🙁

I am glad it doesn’t seem to be affecting the functionality at all—do you agree that it is not? If so, it might be best to just chalk this up to a fluke for now, and then if issues start arising we can reopen an investigation here.

Let me know what you think!

Thank you, and sorry for not knowing exactly why this error is arising. It’s a weird one!

Sincerely,
George

Hi George,

it´s not a hosted website, but a virtual server with a fixed IP Adress.

Could it be, that my themebuilders (Anariel) missed something while including the events calendar ?

Yes, I can live with it, but if you might come across a solution to this issue, please let me know, an empty console is nice in a way, don´t you think ?

Regards Jürgen

[George]

Thanks for clarifying your hosting situation, Jürgen.

We’ve uncovered a bug here and are working hard on a solution—I agree an empty console is nice, and we’re working on a fix to make that happen!

I don’t have a specific ETA for when that fix will arrive, but hopefully in the next few weeks or so.

Thank you,
George

Hi George,

sounds fine with me. I guess, it´s going to be released through an update, so for now, my issues are solved.
Thank you and have a nice day,

Jürgen

Hi George,

today, you released 4.1. But when I´m installing it, it srews my complete calendar setup.
The footer widget gets erased out of the widget area, the settings are all to default (css, fonst, colors etc.) and I get a notice, that the pro plugin was disabled because of missing data.

So I just switched back to 4.07, but what I don´t know is, if it´s my fault or if there is something with your update.

Just let me know, so I can fix it, if it is on my side.

Regards,
Jürgen

[George]

Hey Jürgen,

I’m sorry to hear about this! I do not have these issues myself when updating to 4.1, so I will reach out to some developers on our team for further insight here.

Thank you for your patience!

Hi George,

I switched my Template to the WP Bakery Total theme, now the update was without any issues.
Except, that the display of the Weekdays on small screens is again set to the full name.

I copied the html code below, so you can take a look at the german version…

Just have a look yourself…

By the way, I only changed code regarding colors…

<tr>

<th id=”tribe-events-montag” title=”Montag” data-day-abbr=”Mo”>Montag</th>
<th id=”tribe-events-dienstag” title=”Dienstag” data-day-abbr=”Di”>Dienstag</th
<th id=”tribe-events-mittwoch” title=”Mittwoch” data-day-abbr=”Mi”>Mittwoch</th>
<th id=”tribe-events-donnerstag” title=”Donnerstag” data-day-abbr=”Do”>Donnerstag</th>
<th id=”tribe-events-freitag” title=”Freitag” data-day-abbr=”Fr”>Freitag</th>
<th id=”tribe-events-samstag” title=”Samstag” data-day-abbr=”Sa”>Samstag</th>
<th id=”tribe-events-sonntag” title=”Sonntag” data-day-abbr=”So”>Sonntag</th> </tr>

Happy Easter,

Jürgen
