Hi Rich – I’m sorry for the disruption. Can I just clarify what you want to do at this point – do you require a copy of Events Calendar PRO 2.0.9?
Our plugins do require that they be kept in synch, ie you cannot use The Events Calendar 2.0.10 with Events Calendar PRO 2.0.9; disallowing one to update without updating the other isn’t a easy as it sounds either, since WordPress updates and runs plugin activation hooks sequentially rather than concurrently.
If you do need a previous version, please feel free to email us at [email protected] marking your email for the attention of my colleague Leah and please also include a link to this thread, I’m sure she’ll help as best she can 🙂
Hi Charles, glad you’re all sorted (I think) but if you need further help with this please just let me know.
Strange – when I visited http://glendalechristian.org/events/ earlier that same problem wasn’t apparent, it was displaying nicely in a single line.
Someone suggested that we setup our theme as a child theme and add this code. I’m not sure how to do all that….is there another way to fix?
Indeed there is another way. Find this file:
wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css
Copy it to:
wp-content/themes/{your-theme}/events/events.cssNoting that if your theme doesn’t already have an events directory you will need to create it. Then, try adding the lines provided by this other person at the end of that file.
Can you quickly test out switching to the /%postname%/ structure for pretty permalinks and see if that impacts?
Great that a solution is in hand, we’ll take a note of this conflict though for future reference.
Thanks!
Hi Tara – that’s my fault, the CSS I provided contains an error. If you look after 100% you will see a double quote – that needs to be removed so the line simply reads:
width: 100%;Sorry about that! The other lines remain the same.
Ken, I think the feeling here is that if this is an issue you feel really needs to be addressed then you would be best to catch those requests for non-existent upcoming event pages and change them into 301 redirects back to the calendar page.
That’s a good question and I’m not sure off the top of my head, so bear with me while I check in with the team and gather some thoughts.
There was a thread a month ago or so which was similar (I seem to remember they wanted to stop Google from viewing past events in that particular case, I can’t remember why) and possible solutions including returning different HTTP status codes such as moved permanently or just a 404 not found as discussed above.
I wonder also if providing a canonical link to the main calendar page would be viable here.
My own feeling here is that this may simply be an occasion where you have to do what’s best for the human (with sensible pagination) not the search engine, but I will check in and see if there are any other thoughts.
Thanks Anne. Just to confirm, there was no other output above Import Facebook Events besides that string (with the Facebook URL)?
Oh I see, sorry I completely misunderstood you first time round 🙂
Yes that is going to happen, what sort of system would you prefer – your concern is that …/page/7 will be indexed but then cease to be accessible, right?
Hi Mariruth – that’s a good idea. It may be possible currently via some custom tweaks (familiarity with WP_List_Table and associated hooks that would probably be a good starting point) – but I will anyway take this on board as a feature request. Thanks!
Could be, I wasn’t able to replicate the initial problem locally for some reason – is it something you’ve noticed on previous occasions?
How about we try this: find events.css – it’s normally located in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/ – and copy it to your theme’s events directory (you may need to create the events directory if it doesn’t already exist).
Then add this rule to the bottom of the stylesheet. Does that work for you?
