Hey dlehrner! Thanks for the access details. I think I see what is happening. The striker theme, I believe, is applying the library select2 ( a javascript library for pretty selects) globally, and it is conflicting with our script chosen which does the same thing. Is there anyway you could supply the theme to me so i can hack it in my local to confirm this? Once i sort exactly what is going on, the only way to patch will be to notify the theme author that they need to be less aggressive with their application of this javascript, if this is truly the case. But I will assist in that message, as its a popular theme. 😉
Doh! Sorry about that. Here is the private post I made:
Hey there dlehrner.
I see on the live site things seem to be working ok. Do you have a dev enviro I can check out, or could you supply the themes in question so I can debug locally (either as private response here or to pro /a/ tri.be with this thread url including in the email? I am noting a possible issue with strikings caching system and would like to investigate.
Thanks.
If you would like to send access info to me through tribe that’s great, the afformentioned tribe email will do, just clarify its for sam and include the link to this forum thread so they can reference. Or if you prefer direct contact I’m sam /a/ faction23.comOK, so you mean in the admin screen this issue persists? Can you tell me if there are any errors in your browser console? Alternatively, could I be given temporary access to the admin to investigate? Signing off for the day but I will check in tomorrow on this.
Hey there justjuicy! Is there any way i could get the theme folder or even whole site as zip file so i could try out debugging what is going on? Its very difficult for me to debug otherwise. You could share files with a private reply here for security.
let me know

Hello Victoria. Sorry again for the issues you are facing. We are aware of inefficient queries being executed for month view and our php devs have this as a top priority issue now. We are targeting improvements to the queries in the coming release(s) to help with calendars that have a large numbers of events. Thanks for your patience as we take time to get the new code rolled out in a solid way.
In my tests of your system i can see that after caching calendar pages load for me in around 3 seconds, while ajax requests on grid view can take up to 22 seconds.
Hey there cashoefman! Sorry for the trouble you are going through. Well, we have some pretty serious issues here. The javascript is breaking on these pages, and it is doing so due to some required localized strings not printing to the page. These are our ajax handlers and the datepicker strings.
I see you have some system caching all the javascript into a single file. can we try disabling this caching? Thanks.
Hey kineticbuzz! Unfortunately, the change to a datepicker format in 3.0 has a lot of new javascript code hooked into it that would make changing the system back to a double select form – as was found in 2.0 – quite a large task. As the calendar gains more features and becomes more complex there are points were we have to lock the system a bit to make sure it will work consistently. Other areas are left quite open to modification, but the datepicker control of the ajax operations is unfortunately not one of those areas. If we see more requests for this though we may consider baking in an option. Apologies for this.
Hello Terranceh! Sam here, tribe dev. OK, thanks for supplying that theme.
I’ve found the issue. The theme uses a small custom function to reorder the admin menu. All this function does is move the listings button above the posts button. Inside this area is were we inject or admin menu item, so the functions collide. If you feel like hacking your theme to display the menu in the original order and have the events plugin menu item available please go to wp-content\themes\vantage\includes\admin\admin.php and comment out line 16, the line that reads: add_action( ‘admin_menu’, ‘va_admin_menu_tweak’ );. If you feel like it, you may want to contact the theme author about their function, as It does not play well if other authors are also attempting to add to the admin menu in that area.
Let me know how it goes!
Best sam
Hello echristoperj! Thanks for your patience! I’ve looked into this and cant recreate the issue, either in my local or in your live site! I tested a few browsers, installed your theme locally and anyway i hit it the ics works! Here are screens from me importing your events, and the ics file from your site with the theme active.
Can you please test again and if the problem persists for you tell me what browser/os you are on? Thank you so much!

Hey Jo, sorry for the delay. I would like to say that i think we should pursue this with the theme author more. Please clarify with them that this is not a conflict just with our plugin, the theme is modifying the wp query on all loops and adding a category parameter to it. Other custom loops are working fine, but any relying on the post query being correctly reset are failing. i am assuming it is a problem with one of their nav functions. Let me know what they say about that. Cheers!
Hello Jo! OK, thanks for letting me install the plugin. So I’ve determined the problem, and it is one related to the premium theme you are using, Trim, or at least it’s implementation on your site. On all index pages, including home – or both the month or list view of events – are having their query set to “minister-news”, a category from your blog. This means the theme is for some reason affecting the query, and hence no events are found on list view. Month view ignores this parameter as it has its own category system in place. You need to resolve why the theme is applying this category to the main query, as it it will affect you beyond just our plugin. Can you contact the theme author and describe the issue to them? I see it is a premium theme so you should be able to get support from them on this I hope. If all else fails report back here, but at that point I will need the theme folder and a database dump if possible so i can solve the problem myself. Let me know!
Sam
