Week and Day view: Oops! This link appears to be broken.

[Robert]

WordPress 4.1.1 running Modular theme (MySiteMyWay)
The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro Version 3.9.1
Event Rocket version 2.5

The week and day view are not working giving a page not found error. I’ve tried other themes, including Twenty Fourteen and Twenty Twelve. The problem existed before I installed Event Rocket. When I set the events page as the Home Page, and choose week or day, it gives the same error.

Interesting that if I turn off my Google Toolbar the page comes up. The breadcrumbs show:

Home / Page Not Found

But the events page comes up.

Hi – sorry you’re experiencing difficulties.

So can you clarify that the problem is with a web browser extension rather than something that is being generated by The Events Calendar/WordPress?

If so, I’m not sure how much we can do to help since a browser extension that manipulates the page content after it has been delivered is outwith what we can control.

Thanks, Barry.

However it would be difficult for me to tell my client that the calendar will work for everybody except those using a Google Toolbar. I wish I could ignore those kinds of issues and say they are out of my control, but I cannot.

I’ll do some troubleshooting today and saw another post regarding Google’s Webmaster Tools giving Page not Found errors with a possible fix.

I do sympathize with you, but I’m not sure how much we can do to influence things after the page has been delivered to the web browser (assuming the issue is that the particular browser extension goes on to manipulate things after that point).

I’m curious, though, if you trigger a 404 by crafting a URL something like this — http://your-domain.com/non-existent-page/ — does the same thing occur then?

Though I’m reluctant to recommend this approach for a number of reasons, you can effectively prevent 404 statuses from being triggered in relation to event pages with this short snippet, which you could for instance add to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'wp', 'no_event_404s' );

function no_event_404s() {
	if ( ! tribe_is_event_query() ) return;
	status_header( 200 );
}

If it happens that this toolbar extension detects 404 statuses and then modifies the page in this strange way then this may help.

Does that help at all?

…I also realize I’ve jumped to a couple of conclusions here without confirming a basic point: when this problem happens, are the week/day views in question empty (ie, nothing is taking place in that day or week)?

[Barry]

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
