Tribe_events_cat showing when clicking on a category

[Maikel]

When I click an event, I get the details of that event. That’s fine. Such an event is in a category, of course… That category shows in the details of that event. When I click on that link, e.g. ‘toernooi’ in my case. The calendar shows all the events from that category. That’s nice! But… The title above the calendar is messed up. It shows ‘Tribe_events_cat: toernooi’ and it scrambles the original title and makes it black. Could you please have a look what could be the problem?
This is the calendar URL: http://www.eyckenduyn.nl/agenda/
And this is an example of the messed up page: http://www.eyckenduyn.nl/agenda/categorie/toernooi/
I’m using ‘U-Design’ theme version 1.5.0

Maybe updating to version 3.0 of your plugin will solve the problem but since it’s such a huge update, i’m a bit anxious to update…

Kind regards,
Maikel

Hi Maikel, does this happen only with your theme activated? In other words, is the issue resolved if you (temporarily) switch to a default theme such as Twenty Twelve?

If that’s the case it would be difficult to say whether this would still be a problem with 3.0 or not – what I’d suggest is creating a new WordPress installation (you could even do this in a subdirectory of your existing hosting environment) and testing out our latest plugin versions with your theme there.

Does that help at all?

This doesn’t really help The issue remains if I disable the theme. I’ve found something in the forum to remove the title ‘calendar of events’:
https://theeventscalendar.com/remove-the-calendar-of-events-heading-on-the-events-list-page-2x/
This gets rid of the main title.

Is it possible to do the same for all the other titles? That would also solve my problem.
I don’t need titles anywhere.

Thanks again!

The title above the calendar is messed up. It shows ‘Tribe_events_cat: toernooi’

If that problem persists when you use a default, unmodified theme then I’m afraid I can’t replicate it – perhaps something else, such as another plugin, is having some sort of effect here?

Can you try our complete troubleshooting steps of disabling all other plugins except for those by Modern Tribe and then also switching to a default theme (like Twenty Twelve) at the same time? Does the problem still persist under those conditions?

If that’s the case it would be difficult to say whether this would still be a problem with 3.0 or not – what I’d suggest is creating a new WordPress installation (you could even do this in a subdirectory of your existing hosting environment) and testing out our latest plugin versions with your theme there.

Are you able to try the above suggestion? Since 3.0 was released some weeks back the amount of support we can provide for older versions (like 2.0.11) is going to be very limited going forward – so updating would definitely be worth considering.

Hi Barry,

It seems my theme has had a few updates, so I’m updating that one first. After that i’ll try the complete troubleshooting steps. If that doesn’t help I’ll update the calendar too. But since my client has a large amount of events active and viewers depend on this data, it’s a bit tricky to just update. I’m afraid that if something goes wrong we’ll lose the data or the layout is messed up or something like that. My client won’t be pleased if the event calendar isn’t running for a few days. And the site and calendar are running smoothtly as is is now. Therefore I was hoping to fix this small issue with a subtle adjustment to the css, like hiding all titles. I succeeded hiding the main title, but not the event titles etc.

[Barry]

I understand that – and I’d emphasize that I was suggesting you do this in a testing or staging environment first of all before making the same change on the live or production site.

Backing up and knowing how to quickly restore the backup is of course an important measure to take, too.

That said, if you don’t want to make the jump right now then definitely run through the troubleshooting steps once you’re ready and then get back to me if you need further help from that point on 🙂

Thanks!
