    Neill, wouldn’t a shortcode approach eliminate the theme issues? i.e. If someone wanted the month view to show on a specific page or post, they would just add the shortcode (?)

    Neill,
    I started another thread when the monthly view would no longer appear at all. It seems that TEC 3.x doesn’t work well with Thesis. My work around is to use the events default template using the events styles. I had to customize the CSS because adding a /tribes-theme/ folder to the Thesis 1.8 folder with a tribes-theme.css file does not work. Had to edit the tribe CSS files directly. The calendar will not appear in the theme default template, so I just went to plan B. The widget works fine except for left margin spacing which I fixed. It’s still not the best for my client, but it is functional. Thanks for your reply!

    Barry, thanks for the detailed response. Will discuss a theme change with my client, at least temporarily.

    “There’s nothing here.” That’s what I get when I view the monthly calendar from any of the clicks for the plugin. “http://awanacanada.ca/events”. All is there from the dashboard; events, venues, coordinators, etc. On the front end nothing.
    WP 3.5.2
    Thesis 1.8.5
    TEC 3.0.1
    TEC Pro 3.0.3
    Is there a page called “Events” with a shortcode required to make the calendar appear?

    Ahhh … progress.

    Sometimes it’s the simplest things like not being logged in to the server through FTP AND logged into the site admin via WordPress at the same time. Deleted /events folder via FTP exited, entered site and events are displaying correctly, list and calendar view buttons are there, individual events show all correct info. The only anomaly now is the appearance of the sidebar at the bottom of each individual event listing. Not sure where that comes. Any ideas on that? Thanks!

    You can do this by simply renaming the ‘events’ folder to ‘events-old’ or something like that.

    Tried this and the site went “unavailable” for about 30 minutes. Restored the events folder.

    Here’s the folder content:
    thesis_18/events/
    events-list-load-widget-display.php
    events.css
    gridview-save.php
    gridview.php
    list.php
    single-save.php
    single.php

    All dated March 12, 2012
    events.css dated March 14, 2012

    Rob and Jonah, Thanks for your interest in getting this resolved.

    I noticed an “events.css” file in the theme root and deleted it.
    There was also an “events-list-load-widget-display.php” file in the theme root folder. Deleted it.

    Today I spent some time adding and editing the events data and didn’t seem to have any trouble there. It’s just the individual event view that’s a problem.

    i.e. http://awanacanada.ca/event/awanagames-and-sparks-a-rama-national-capital-region/

    Just the title and today’s date and no formatting.

    The list view shows it all accurately: http://awanacanada.ca/events

    If I were to deactivate and delete The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro, what considerations do I need to follow BEFORE I reinstall. Are there files on the server I should check for and delete FTP? AND, I do not want to lose data. (It IS backed up daily.)

    Jonah, thanks for contributing!

    Hope I can remember all that happened yesterday.

    Started with Pro 1.3.2 installed and activated with everything looking fine.

    Sent message and obtained link to 1.3.3; downloaded and installed
    Loaded and activated TEC 2.0.4
    Downloaded purchased Pro 2.0.4, loaded and activated

    Viewed event listing entered under 1.3.2 … mess

    This is where it gets murky (should have taken notes)
    I believe after some unsuccessful experiments with the code, I deactivated and deleted TEC and Pro, reloaded and activated.
    I believe I also deleted the “events” folder from Thesis 1.8.

    Somewhere in all this I opened Permalinks and saved … twice.

    I will rename “events” in the theme folder and see what happens.

    Sorry, Rob, wrong link copied. Here’s the correct example link:

    Rob, I think I got the upgrade all straightened out now on the install.

    Implementation hasn’t been seamless, with several things I have to overcome. In order of priority, I need to address this issue first.

    I am experiencing a problem with individual event views. Here’s an example: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/too-many-versions-for-wordpress-i-think/#post-16457

    Notice the only info listed is “Start: [today’s date appears for all listings]”

    Events in list view show all events accurately.

    Thanks

    TD
