Unable to edit reoccurring events

[godesana]

I am unable to edit a reoccurring event.

I implemented the snippet of code indicated for the functions.php.

Did not resolve the issue.

Hi Godesana,

Is this the issue with the recurring event dialog being “hidden” behind a grey layer? If so and you can hold tight our upcoming maintenance release ought to resolve this.

Alternatively, can you share your theme’s functions.php code so we can see if you made a mistake while applying that fix? If you can please do so via a service like Pastebin or Gist, do not post code directly in the forum.

Thanks!

Yes, that is the issue I’m having. I’ve tried inserting the aforementioned snippet at various locations in the functions.php file, and every single attempt throws an error. Perhaps I am not inserting it into the correct version of function.php? The one I was attempting to use is the one located in the wp-includes folder. Is that correct? And while I would love to hold out for the fix, unless it’s coming in the next 24-48 hours, that’s simply not an option for me. LOL

Thank you for your assistance, Barry!

Hi, Godesana. Sorry you’re having issue with the snippet.

The snippet should be placed in your theme’s functions.php file. If you’re unfamiliar with this process, please check out the excellent Codex article about using functions.php with Child Themes: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes#Using_functions.php That will ensure that if you update the theme, your changes are not overwritten.

Thank you for your response as well, Kelly. I have to admit, however, that I am beyond frustrated at this point. I have my child theme implemented correctly, and only the snippet in question inserted into my functions.php file in the child folder. I continue to get errors. When trying to edit an event in the admin panel, this is the error I receive upon saving:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\godesanaevents.com\httpdocs\wp-content\themes\strappress-child\functions.php:14) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\godesanaevents.com\httpdocs\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 875

As mentioned above, this is incredibly frustrating. I’ve spent the better part of three days now trying to get this thing working. Not exactly the kind of support I expected when I bought this “pro” calendar.

Hi Godesana,

We’re sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties and definitely appreciate that this is a bit frustrating.

That particular error can crop up for a number of reasons – if it’s occurrence ties in with adding the snippet to your theme’s functions.php file it could be you inadvertently created an error. If you like, please share your functions.php file via Pastebin or Gist and we’ll take a look and see if anything obvious jumps out. Please do also make sure that you reverted any changes you made to files within the wp-includes directory.

That said, our latest maintenance release is now available and it may be easier to remove any fixes you have applied for this issue and try upgrading – as I believe it should resolve the recurring events dialog problem.

Hope that helps 🙂

Hi Barry,

I’m working on a completely fresh install of the StrapPress template. The only thing in my functions.php file in my child folder at this time is, literally, the snippet recommended for your fix. Here it is posted on Gist:

https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6779749

That’s my entire functions.php file so far. I haven’t even made changes to the style beyond recoloring the footer. I’m basically starting from ground zero here. I will try to download and install the maintenance release and see if that fixes my issue. Thanks again, Barry! 🙂

Okay, I updated both the free and the pro calendar plug-ins through my WP admin panel. I got the same error on the plug-ins installation page:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\godesanaevents.com\httpdocs\wp-content\themes\strappress-child\functions.php:14) in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\godesanaevents.com\httpdocs\wp-includes\pluggable.php on line 875

And I *still* can’t edit recurring events! UGH! This is so incredibly frustrating! :/ :/ :/

[Barry]

OK, so what I’d suggest is removing the fix and, if your functions.php file exists only for the purpose of giving the fix a home, it would be better at this point simply to delete it. Hopefully you won’t then see the headers already sent error.

For reference, though, the gist you shared contains only 12 lines – yet based on the error message you quoted I suspect there may be a number of blank lines following what you shared. If you do indeed go ahead and remove functions.php this is going to be a moot point – but just for future reference you should be aware that blank lines, however harmless they look, can indeed cause problems 🙂

And I *still* can’t edit recurring events! UGH! This is so incredibly frustrating!

I’m sorry to hear that – however if the problem you experienced is indeed the same one we released a fix for it’s not impossible that your browser has cached a set of stylesheets and scripts from the last version … and that would explain why you still experience this.

Can you try emptying your browser’s cache and see if that helps?

Thanks for your patience!
