Hey Sandro, so I discussed this with a member of the dev team and he agreed tribe_is_upcoming() should work in these circumstances. Of course, it doesn’t and so this has been logged as a bug and hopefully will be addressed shortly.

[Barry]

There is a tribe_is_upcoming() function however I don’t believe it’s designed for this context and will return true even when used outwith the upcoming events list. Let me have a quick think about this.

[Barry]

Hi Sandro, that seems to work for me if I place it in my theme’s header.php template and view the upcoming events list. Can you provide a bit more context as to how you are using this?

[Barry]

Hi Peter, that sounds unusual.

Can you confirm that all of your Events Calendar plugins are up-to-date and in synch? By “in synch” I mean that if you are running The Events Calendar 2.0.9 you should also have the same version of Events Calendar PRO installed.

Are you also able to check with your web host and ensure that your web hosting account meets the WordPress minimum requirements? (It’s entirely possible that it doesn’t and WordPress will still work under some circumstances, however it could lead to other unusual problems.)

Since you’ve already exhausted the usual steps of disabling other plugins and your theme then I’m not sure there is much else I can suggest via the forum – so if you are happy to provide this level of access and none of the other steps I mentioned prove to be useful, please:

• Ensure you have made a complete back-up
• Email WordPress admin credentials to me at [email protected] – making sure to mark the email for my attention
• Be aware that I will repeat the same steps (of disabling other plugins and changing the theme) as part of the troubleshooting process, as even if this doesn’t solve the problem it may yield other useful information

Thanks!

Try using a service like Pastebin or Gist, then post the link in here.

No problem – sorry I can’t do more on this occasion and if you get something going here it would be great to hear back 🙂

[Barry]

So there are two ways you might tackle this.

The cleanest is probably to set up some filters to change the event query used by the widget. That’s fairly advanced though since in this particular case you’d need to set up and tear down your filter as there isn’t a widget-specific hook available here (unless I’m missing something).

… So, an alternative would be to set up a custom events-list-load-widget-display.php template and modify that.

You could inspect the start date of each event to see if it belongs to today or tomorrow and then either display that event or not. I hope that makes sense!

Unfortunately I’m rather out of time on this thread so I can’t progress it much further, but hopefully that’s provided some ideas of how you might tackle this.

[Barry]

OK – I mean I don’t want to slam the door in your face. Certainly you’d need to know how to set up custom templates (or have this set up already) – it is fairly comprehensively described in the Themer’s Guide and in this section on views.

If you can get that far, then you could consider making a change to events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php as outlined here:

Hi Jeffrey.

There are a couple of possibilities here. One is that another plugin (or some code in your theme) is filtering either the post excerpt or content. If you’ve got any Twitter/Social Media related plugins, they are likely candidates so it could be worth following our standard troubleshooting steps:

• Disable all other plugins
• Revert to a default theme such as Twenty Eleven
• In the (hopefully unlikely!) event that you or someone else has modified the view files (templates) in the Events Calendar plugin directory, you should restore these to the defaults

Check and see if that removes the extra text – if it does, reactivate everything one-by-one until you discover what’s causing the problem.

Alternatively, it could be that this additional text has been inserted in your custom events/table.php template – opening this up and searching for the word “Tweet” using your favourite text editor would be one way of checking for this.

Hope that helps!

Hi Nathan, I’m sure this is achievable. It would require some PHP know-how though – if you’re at home tinkering with code then check out our technical docs and in particular the information on template overrides.

In this case the template you would be interested in is likely to be events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php … have fun and good luck 🙂

[Barry]

Hi John. Though by default it produces a definition list (rather than an unordered list), does tribe_meta_event_cats() come close to meeting your requirements?

[Barry]

OK so I’ve tried quite a few permutations here, creating two events that share a venue of the same name on Eventbrite then importing; creating a venue locally first of all then importing an event that uses the same name back in; repeating that step using identical names but different addresses.

I’m unable to replicate what you’ve experienced however – so if there is any further information you can provide that would be great. Are you using the latest versions of our plugins?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Tai! I’ll see if I can replicate this: is there anything I should know that would help me to do so?

[Barry]

So to update: a hotfix of The Events Calendar 2.0.9 was made available in the WordPress plugin directory that addressed some recent issues.

Unfortunately the developers were unable to consistently replicate the problem that many of you have described (settings resetting to “factory default”) so we can’t be 100% certain that the issue is resolved, though we are hopeful.

Once again please accept our apologies for any inconvenience – we’ve certainly taken your feedback and concerns on board.

[Barry]

Hi Dardané, I have replied to your email. It looks like a conflict with some Javascript from another plugin (or from your theme). If you could follow the troubleshooting steps described in the email and update me that would be great.

Thanks!
