When viewing a category calendar, navigating to next/prev month displays all

[vcmmag]

Hello, I purchased Events calendar Pro last week and my only remaining issue is that when viewing a category calendar (http://mag.dev.varcm.com/events/category/westland/) and navigationg back (May) or forward (July) the entire calendar is displayed. I need to keep the visitor in the same calendar category. Basically, I need to implement 4 independant calendars, for which I’m using categories to accomplish. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi

Thanks for reaching out to us with your issue! I took a look at your site and also duplicated the behavior on my own test sites. I’m going to reach out to our developers to see if they have any light to shed on this topic. It looks to me like a bug that we may need to fix. I should have more updates for you shortly.

Thank you! I have a customer project that’s waiting on this. So glad for the speedy response!

Hi!

I took a second pass at this in a clean environment and when using the latest plugins as well as default 2012 or 2010 themes I am seeing the next/previous buttons working as expected.  Before moving ahead further on investigating this I would like your assistance in confirming a few items.

1. What version of the Events Calendar Pro plugin are you using on the site? is it 3.6.1
2. Can you revert the theme to 2010 or 2012
3. Deactivate all plugins except The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro
4. Confirm if the next/previous functionality is working.
5. If working re-activate your themes and plugins one at a time to confirm where the conflict is.

Once you’ve done the above we can help look into this issue further.

Thanks ahead of time for your time on this.

Hi Matthew,
This does help because I wasn’t sure what was the intended functionality. I installed in a vanilla WP installation and saw that the prev/next buttons do indeed display calendars for that same category.. I thought it was strange not to! 😉
I will make a duplicate of our site and deactivate plugins one by one and change theme. I’ll report back. Thanks!

Oh and we are using v3.6.1 for The Events Calendar and Pro.

We narrowed this down as only happening with our theme, which is iThemes Builder. We’ve been using Builder since it came out 3-4 years ago for all our projects. Their support is great. Might you be able to point me in the right direction as to what to look/ask for?

Hi Abdhul:

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you. I took a look a the underlying code base and we use the global $wp_query object to get the current taxonomy for creating the next/previous links. I would suggest reaching out to them and see if they are doing any custom manipulation of the $wp_query object as a starting point.

relevant code is :

if ( isset( $wp_query->query_vars[TribeEvents::TAXONOMY] ) )
$term = $wp_query->query_vars[TribeEvents::TAXONOMY];

Let me know if you get this resolved out.

Thank you,

Thanks, Matt! We figured this out late last Friday. We had a pre_get_posts action to filter the main loop for a taxonomy, which was affecting your link targets. By making our code more specific, we fixed the problem. Thanks so much for your time and attention! -Abdul

Abdhul, It’s great to hear that you got this resolved. As you seem to be all set I am going to close this thread.

If you have a minute or two we would love it if you could say a few words about our plugin here :http://m.tri.be/lo

Thank you,

– Matthew
