Hi Jon – I’m one of Jonah’s colleagues on the support team. Just jumping in here, hope that’s ok.
I’d like to ensure that I’m understanding the problem first of all: perhaps it would be best if I describe the way in which I tested this scenario.
1. Using a networked WordPress installation I created three sites, the “parent” site which I will call site P and two “child” sites which I will call sites A and B.
2. I set up events on all of those sites and set the event slugs to “gigs” and “gig” respectively on each site, I also created a regular WordPress page on each site with the slug “gigs”.
3. When I then visited the gigs page – site.com/gigs, site.com/child-a/gigs or site.com/child-b/gigs – I was able to see the normal month view just as I would expect and it appeared to be populated correctly in each case.
Am I understanding the issue correctly or can you identify anything I would need to do differently here to replicate what you are experiencing?
Thanks!
Barry
Hi again! It’s been a few days so I’m just checking in to see if you still need this functionality and if you are able to answer my previous questions (which would help our developer to form a solution):
1. Are you running any other SEO related plugins? (If so could you provide a note of what those are, including sitemap generators etc)
2. How would you like these requests to be handled – a 404 (effectively saying the page does not exist) or a 301 (redirecting the user/search engine to another page, such as the calendar for the relevant month).
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sure – you would basically do something pretty similar but name the file ecp-single-template.php.
Hi Pauline, thanks for sending that over.
Just as a quick side note, first of all – the first thing I noticed was this raft of errors on activation http://pastebin.com/LxCNmXPQ which is fairly unusual (I caught these by having debug mode on). That isn’t connected to the problem you are reporting, but I just thought I’d give you a heads up in case it helps to explains any other issues you might be having.
On to the problem at hand, what seems to be happening here is that Accent is causing two different versions of jQuery UI (a neat library that WordPress uses to create admin interfaces) to be loaded during the same request – that’s causing a conflict. So, Javascript execution is halting and what you are left with is a spinner icon that keeps spinning.
What I’d suggest is contacting the theme author – this is possibly an oversight and it won’t always cause problems, but it should be easy for him or her to fix.
Yep Daniel’s code is the best choice here 🙂
And if you can wrap it up as a plugin you’ll be all set! Let us know if you need any further help.
Hi Pauline, that’s really difficult to answer – there are so many different themes out there and they can have radically different structures, so it’s simply impossible to guarantee compatibility.
That said, and bearing in mind I can’t offer any guarantees here, if you could shoot a copy of your theme (as a .zip) across to us I’d be happy to take a quick look and see if anything obvious jumps out.

Hi Caleb,
This isn’t something I can replicate – can you confirm the steps I would need to follow to see this? Here is what I tried:
1. I edited a venue which had it’s province set to British Columbia
2. I changed this to Alberta and updated. This change was reflected on the venue page.I then repeated this an selected Arizona from the US (I guess to emulate using the ‘chosen’ jQuery plugin – is that what you mean?) and again there was no problem.
Is it possible that this is a caching issue? Are you using W3 Total Cache or a similar plugin?
This seems to be my day for typos. That should have read, “check out our Themer’s Guide.”
Sure. If you haven’t already done so please check out our There’s Guide … it’s definitely possible to add custom event templates to your theme to control this kind of thing and you can add or subtract sidebars just as you would in any other theme template.
Anyway, glad you’re all sorted here.
Aaah! Made a mistake there! In point 2 it should read…
“So, just for clarity, once you’ve created this file it should live at wp-content/themes/biznizz/events/ecp-page-template.php”
Sorry for any confusion!
OK, so first things first – if you haven’t already done so it is well worth familiarizing yourself with the concepts laid out in our Themer’s Guide. Now to look at the your specific issue:
1. First we need to create a new directory inside wp-content/themes/biznizz called events
2. We’re going to create a new file in this directory called ecp-page-template.php so, just for clarity, once you’ve created this file it should live at wp-content/themes/biznizz/ecp-page-template.php
3. This will largely be based on the Biznizz page template with a couple of subtle changes – this is how my ecp-page-template.php looks: http://pastebin.com/J6K6AV6UWith that done the month view (calendar) should be served on a full-width page, but should stay within the bounds followed by the rest of the theme.
Hi Ross – I had finished work for the day when you posted your replies, but don’t worry, we do try to check in at least daily to see if anyone has followed up.
At the moment inserting the widget “manually” using the_widget() will not work – it needs to be part of a regular dynamic sidebar otherwise it won’t be able to enqueue the various pieces of Javascript it requires to work. So, for the time being, your best bet is to create a new dynamic sidebar in your theme.
I did talk to one of the devs about this and he is going to change the way it works to accommodate inserting it using the_widget() but realistically that fix could be a couple of releases down the road.
I hope that explains the situation a little better – and please do check out the WordPress Codex and the .org support forums – both great places for advice on adding new sidebars to your theme.
