Your latest update has caused lots of issues – especially the Events List Widget

[Chris Michalczuk]

since the update for event calendar pro we have loads of issues.

a) some displays now odd see below
b) we have lost the events list widget on our home page and others

its one of the event calendar own widgets – called The Events List Widget – I modified it using an example from their site: https://www.wpfangirl.com/2015/modifying-the-list-widget-in-events-calendar-pro-to-show-images/ – and we have our own customisations in our theme folder under a folder called “tribe-events” as they recommend… all was fine until last update it seems…. so would be nice to know what was changed in their release / latest update that may have caused issues with list widget

have no idea why it is now showing images as medium size and not thumbnail? Seems to be a whole heap of issues caused by that last update… same goes for the upcoming events list. Let’s make the September banner changes live and leave the upcoming events list off for now – then you can contact the calendar guys and tell them we had lots of issues eg http://www.stswithuns.org.uk/events/2017-08-04/ – before we go down the route of restoring backups to older versions of the whole site

I cant tell easily why the upcoming events list is not showing – looks like some files have been overwritten maybe or using older versions… the upcoming events list used several files and I cant track it all down quickly – might be easier to chase the calendar guys as their update caused it all? It shouldn’t have as previous ones were fine…

Hello Chris and thanks for reaching out!

I’m sorry about the issues you are having! Let me try to help you fix this.

Upfront I would like to let you know that we are limited in providing support for customizations.

I just tested the code from @wpfangirl on my local install. I pasted this in my functions.php file:

function custom_widget_featured_image() {
global $post;
echo tribe_event_featured_image( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' );
}
add_action( 'tribe_events_list_widget_before_the_event_title', 'custom_widget_featured_image' );

And this is what I got in the sidebar with the twentyfifteen theme: https://cloudup.com/cY7GaOYPIJn

So that code still seems to be working.

What versions were you updating from? Were you also updating other plugins or theme or WordPress at the same time? Was maybe the css part changed somehow?

I just compared the last two versions of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO and I don’t see any changes that would influence the Events List Widget.

Do you still have the Events List Widget added to the widget area where you want it to show?

The url you provided took me to the list view of the normal calendar. Where would the widget be? Can you possibly share some screenshots of the before and after states? That would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Andras
