Widget "More" link always goes to oldest event

[Jo]

We’re using the Events List widget in the primary sidebar to display upcoming events.

It shows the featured image, date, location, excerpt and a “More .. ” link. I believe that link used to go to more information on the event that is displayed. Now, though, it always goes to the oldest event (one from 2 years ago). It’s always the same event, even though different events are displayed.

I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, but haven’t changed themes. It’s been the same theme for several years.

Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks!

Hi Jo,

It looks rather like you are using a customized version of the events calendar widget (customized to remove the calendar itself, and possibly a few other things).

Does that ring a bell/might you have applied some custom changes or paid a developer to do so at some point in the past?

With current versions of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO, neither our list or calendar widgets provide output that look quite like what I see on your site.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for writing back!

This was set up a couple of years ago. I went back after reading your note,
found the customization files under the theme and disabled them. The
featured image and excerpt disappeared, which is probably part of what you
were seeing. The end time was removed by CSS.

Now it looks like this:

A few other things were removed via settings on the widget:

Now we get to the customization:

This appears to add the excerpt and event link in the single-event.php.

?php echo tribe_events_get_the_excerpt(); ?

a href=”?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ); ?”
rel=”bookmark”More …/a

It looks to me like it mirrors the link that is generated for the title,
which is this:

a href=”?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_event_link() ); ?”
rel=”bookmark”?php the_title(); ?/a

The title goes to the correct event. So I guess I’m a bit mystified as to
why the More link is stuck on going to one particular event (which is not
the right one).

Any insight you would be willing to provide would be welcome!

Hi Jo,

Quick note first of all that (possibly because you replied by email) some images and other parts of your message seems to have been stripped from your last reply.

At any rate, I’m not too sure though on looking at your site today I don’t see the problem with the more link (all widget links seem to go to the right place) and I would also note it does still look like a customization of some sort is in place.

Do you need further help with this? If so, would you be able to login and reply directly on the forum (to help avoid losing any information from your reply)? Thanks!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
