Working with Divi

[Ronald]

Hi, I’m using Divi by Elegant Themes and I hope to use the Divi’s built in builder for my events. This has worked but it does not after update:

Known Conflicts with The Events Calendar Pro and Divi Theme

Please advise. Thank you very much!

Hey Ronald,

Thanks for reaching out.

I am sorry to hear about the change in compatibility with our plugins and with the Divi theme.

It’s unfortunately the case that we can only guarantee compatibility with, and provide support for, WordPress themes that adhere to the WordPress Theme Development standards. Divi and other themes like it tend to deviate from these standards, and so unfortunately we cannot guarantee support for them.

The best course of action is to contact the Divi folks for further insight into what might be the issue.

Now, with all this being generally true, we do love the Divi theme! And we certainly want our plugins to be compatible with it. So I am happy to take a bit of a closer look on this to try and identify a problem.

To help me do that, can you please first post a copy of your Divi theme — and any child themes that go with it! — to a site like Google Drive, Dropbox, CloudUp, etc., and then share a link to the download link with me? I will download the files and try taking a closer look myself, firsthand. Just be sure to mark the “Set as private reply” option for your reply with the download link so that only you and us on the support team can access the links 😀

It will take me some to investigate this because I will have to install the files and do some manual tinkering, but share the files with me and I’ll get started on that process promptly!

Cheers,
George

Thanks, I rolled back my older version in the mean time because I need to fill deadlines. I’ll eventually update and I’ll get back to this issue. Thanks!

Sounds good Ronald, keep us posted. If this thread closes automatically before you get to respond (which happens if no replies in three weeks by a bot on our forums), just open a new thread any time and include a link to this one for context. We can pick up the conversation from there.

Cheers!

I have the same issue. My DIVI Builder is not showing up in my DIVI Extra them and I just noticed that the Event Calendar Customizer for Events Calendar is not working either. Both would be great to have. This seems to her a pretty common issue, but I have not seen a solid fix yet. Thanks!

Let me preface that I believe this to be a Divi issue. Simply because I have had to use this solution for another plugin that uses CPTs.

Add the following snippet to your child-theme’s functions.php. There are other TEC post types, but these are the ones I was concerned with.


/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
// Add Divi Builder to TEC Post Types
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

function add_tec_post_types( $post_types ) {
$post_types[] = 'tribe_events';
$post_types[] = 'tribe_venue';
$post_types[] = 'tribe_organizer';

return $post_types;
}
add_filter( 'et_builder_post_types', 'add_tec_post_types' );


Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting this, @Mathew!

@ronald and @sean, @Mathew’s code may be helpful—definitely try it out!

It worked! I saw this late last night and gave it a try. My Divi Builder now works with Events Calendar and the Customizer is also working now. A pretty incredible combo now. Thank you!

[George]

Awesome! 😀

I would recommend using this fix for anyone else with these issues.

Open a new thread any time if other issues or questions arise.

Cheers,
George
