Does this problem appear/disappear according to whether you have deactivated other themes and switched to a default, unmodified theme?

I can’t help but feel there is a piece of information we are missing here as you seem to be experiencing a wide range of unusual behaviour :-/

Hi Andrew: it’s difficult to provide a solution without knowing how the theme enforces this, but you could try adding some code like this https://gist.github.com/4118303 to your theme’s functions.php file.

If that doesn’t work you will need to seek advice from the theme vendor/author as there are actually a few different ways they might implement this.

Thanks for the feedback, Yaron.

There are a ton of avenues you could explore.

One would be modifying the events query using the provided actions and filters; another could be to build a remote API around The Events Calendar on just one of the networked sites, then use that same API to pull in the events on the other sites.

Really you’d need to do whatever you/your developer(s) feel comfortable with – I did chat to one of our devs about this and our feeling is that this is unlikely to be taken on board as a feature request, but it would definitely be great to hear back from you as to how you go about solving the problem 🙂

Hi Ben, hope you don’t mind me jumping in here – Leah asked me to take a look at this.

Looking at your screenshot it looks like you have a variety of plugins running (and/or a comprehensively featured theme) and I note the position of some other menu entries coincide with where I would expect to see the Events menu.

Can you try our standard troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure your Modern Tribe plugins are all up-to-date (which I understand they already are)
• Deactivate all other plugins
• At the same time, switch to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Eleven or Twenty Ten
• Now test and check if the events menu is present in the left-hand menu in the dashboard
• If it is, reactivate everything one-by-one until you notice the Events menu disappearing: at this point, the last component to have been activated is very likely conflicting with our plugin

I have certainly seen other plugins conflicting in this manner where one has a hard-coded menu position that overwrites the menu entries of other plugins, so the above steps are definitely worth trying.

Thanks!

No problem at all 🙂

[Barry]

Excellent question.

Out of the box, as it were, the answer is no. I’m sure it’s possible to accomplish however – but could require a fair bit of trial and error.

[Barry]

Excellent!

Steve: we can’t replicate this. If for some reason (we have no idea why this even happens) using the debug bar solves this would it work for you to leave that activated?

[Barry]

Yeah so for the first issue (width of the nav links area) you probably want to add a new rule along these lines:

div.tribe-events-widget-nav { width: 100px }

Obviously change the actual width to suit!

For the other issue, yes that reference number is primarily for internal use but it also means you (or others) could refer to this problem from another thread and we’d have a quick way of looking it up to check on progress.

Last but not least – please back up any files you edit before committing any changes! – however you should locate this file:

events-calendar-pro/lib/widget-calendar.class.php

And locate this line (should be line 55):

require_once( TribeEventsPro::instance()->pluginPath . 'admin-views/widget-admin-calendar.php' );

Change require_once to require like so:

require( TribeEventsPro::instance()->pluginPath . 'admin-views/widget-admin-calendar.php' );

And you should be good to go!

Hi Andrew,

The short answer is that it shouldn’t be limited to just three events.

Do you have any custom code in there that you might have introduced to change the event query, and/or can you try our standard troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure your Modern Tribe plugins are all up-to-date (we are currently on 2.0.10 for both The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO)
• Deactivate all other plugins. At the same time, change to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Eleven or Twenty Ten
• Now test to see if the problem remains; if it is solved reactivate everything one-by-one testing at each stage to identify which if any component is conflicting

Does that all make sense? Let me know how you get on with this!

[Barry]

Hi Bonnie!

If you are creating that link (on this page) manually then you could simply change the URL it links to to this:

http://www.stjathenaeum.org/WordPress/events/category/first-wednesdays/upcoming/

Does that help here?

(As a sidenote, our reference for this problem is #18703)

Finally-can’t seem to find anywhere to edit/add the title for the calendar in the sidebar – empty field on the site and am having problems finding where in the dashboard to enter it.

Ahh, looks like a bug, unfortunately. I can see the error and could let you know what to change as a workaround – however that would mean editing core plugin code.

Alternatively you may need to wait until the next release.

[Barry]

Hi Zeke – to change the position of the next/previous month links in the mini calendar widget you could target:

a.tribe-mini-ajax.prev-month

And

a.tribe-mini-ajax.next-month

In your CSS rules and adjust the top property if you are concerned with vertical alignment, for example:

a.tribe-mini-ajax.next-month { top: 7px; }
