Hi Brook,
Yes, I know I need to move to a new template but I need first to find a new “trusty” one then integrate it and all this takes a long time. By then I need the events to be working.
By now, I have replaced the Events page by a page I have built and inserted the Events List widget into it.
Do you have any good template you could suggest which would fit my website and also support The Event Calendar?
Many thanks!
Michel

Btw, when clicking on Next Events then Previous Events, I can see the events properly. You already knew that, but I get the following URL: http://www.noasmusic.com/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=list
I would have done an automatic 301 redirection from the Events page url to that url but the problem is that you can’t insert the specific url alone in the browser because you will get the same wrong Events page.

Hi Brook,

Thank you for all the info. I have first downgraded to 3.12 as you have suggested. I still got the same event page with no events but latest posts. Then I have downgraded to 3.6.1 and I got that Events page cannot be found.
I went back to 3.12 and that’s what currently installed and not working fine.
Would you have any suggestion? Even to downgrade to 3.6.1 but with a proper page visualization?
Or do you know any developer who would be able to handle this?
Many thanks!
Michel

OK I found the older version 3.6.1 and downloaded it.
Should I first uninstall the newer before reinstalling the older one? I will not loose my events?
Thank you!

Brook,
Unfortunately the template company stopped to support my template (what a surprise!!). I’m getting some answers from people owning the same template, but nothing helps by now.
If I want to restore the older Event Calendar version, is it enough to replace the plugin folder below \wp-content\plugins or is a new installation of the old plugin necessary?
In the second case, how can I check in my backup files which version I had and where then can I download it?

Concerning the widget, you were right, I mixed-up with another “Upcoming Events” widget. Now this one is fixed.
Many thanks!

Hi Brook,

Thank you so much for all your answers. Please see mine below:

1. In order for this to happen your theme is likely overriding the main WP Query in some fun way. Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this. Usually it requires intimate knowledge of the theme to find how its overriding queries, and then you need to find a way to fix it that doesn’t break the theme. Usually only the theme author has this sort of knowledge.

– I have sent a message to Awake, the theme author, to ask them about this. I will keep you updated.
Something strange about this is that the older and free version was working correctly so why the newer version would suddenly get any kind of overriding? The newer version should work at least as well as the old one, shouln’t it?

2. Or, you can add a little CSS to your theme to fix the footer/gray background issue. To fix it use the following CSS:

#footer{clear:both;}

– I did it and it works perfectly!! Thanks for the tip! Changing the page template was not a good option but CSS worked.

3. We have talked about changing the way the widget behaves, to by default show all months instead of just the current one. But so far just talked about it, and that is not how it has behaved to present.

If you have in the past modified this widget to show all months instead of just the current, then it’s quite possible that each time you update the calendar you will need to redo this modification. Due to how WordPress updates work they will override any changes made directly in the plugin folders.

– Again, inn the older plugin version, I didn’t do anything and didn’t modify no CSS, but the widget showed the five next events, without showing the calendar of the current month. And this even if there was only one event each month in the five next months. Now we see only events of the current month and if there are no events during the month, we don’t see anything

4. When all will be fixed, I will probably add the Facebook connector, which will enable to set up the events only in one place.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Brooks,
1. I have tested all the color customizer options but still the grey remained in the events background and on every event page as well. Would it be more efficient to modify the files themselves?
2. Besides the grey color, I’d be happy to have the events looking a little better. Now they are a little cluttered.
3. I have noticed the Events Calendar widget was also modified in the version I have now upgraded. I used to have the 5 future events, no matter in which month they are. Now I get only the events in the current month. If there are no events on this month, nothing is shown.
4. Of course the most urgent is to fix the fact that events are not shown on the events page as I have explained in my previous reply.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. If your team is ready to fix all my Events issues as a small paid project, I’m ready for that too, but I really need a solution to all this.
Many thanks!

Hi Brook,
It’s nice to meet you too here.
Thanks for your reply.
About the “Archive” title, it was not the case when I had the old version.
But that’s not the major problem. You thought you saw the events on that page but these are not the events, if you look on the home page, you will see, these are the latest posts, which get a new date every day.
You can see the events, either on the events widget or when clicking on next events, then previous events, you will see the real events (and not the latest posts).
The next event you should see is on Dec 9th.
About the color customizer, I will check it out.
Thanks!
Michel
