Hi – I’m sorry you’ve hit up against difficulties.

I visited your main events page and every link I tested seemed to work as expected.

The URL i am seeing displayed is http://corklike.com/index.php/event/chambers-got-talent-grand-final/ However removing the “%EF%BB%BF” section did not alter the event.

Am I right in thinking this no longer exists? That is, you amended the post title so it is no longer an issue?

Hi there Ben,

I’m glad at least part of the problem is solved!

Unfortunately, depending on the theme, there can be a number of tweaks and adjustments that are needed to get a truly glove-like fit.

• In relation to the menu highlighting, please see this existing forum topic
• To ensure the page background is black (you may consequently need to adjust the font colours, etc) please see this section of our Themer’s Guide – knowledge of CSS will be required!
• Adding some custom CSS should also let you resolve the “random line” (this is actually caused by rules put in place by your theme)

I hope that gives you a starting point here 🙂

[Barry]

Our pleasure 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this topic, but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to post new topics as needed.

…Last but not least, if you have a moment to spare we’d love to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar over on our plugin review page — thanks again!

[Barry]

Thanks for the tip!

We’ll definitely keep an eye out for further reports of ad-blocker related problems.

OK, that’s odd. Have you had a chance to run through our standard troubleshooting steps in case there is a conflict with a theme or another plugin?

[Barry]

You shouldn’t need to delete plugins entirely, just deactivating them ought to suffice 🙂

Just to avoid any confusion, because you noted that you only disabled plugins, can you confirm the problem persists even with a default theme such as Twenty Fourteen?

What happens if, within the admin environment, you try to edit post 816? The link to do that should look something like this:

http://womm.visionwebdev.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=816&action=edit

Does this allow you to edit the content that you are seeing in place of the main events page? What is the slug of this page if so?

[Barry]

I’m sorry to hear you’re hitting up against such a strange problem. Just to clarify:

• When you opened the topic you noted having already run through our standard troubleshooting steps: can you confirm this didn’t uncover any conflicts with your theme or another plugin?
• Are single events still accessible?
• Do you have any pages or posts with a slug of events and can you remove them if so?
• It could be worth flushing your permalinks – this is as easy as visiting Settings → Permalinks – you need change nothing … does that help?

Let me know how you get on – and if you can think of any other changes you or anyone else might have made before this problem surfaced do let me know.

Thanks!

Hi Davin,

I’m not sure it would be “better” to use our widget, especially if this Flexible Post Widget tool provides some capability you find you are in need of, but at the same time it’s not something I’m familiar with and so it becomes difficult to suggest how you might tweak things.

Nonetheless, they key to cleanly removing categories is generally to intercept queries and modify them with an appropriate taxonomy query.

We covered some of this in a similar thread just recently – extending and adapting that same sort of strategy is going to be a pretty good way to go 🙂

[Barry]

I’m sorry to hear that, Ryan: when I test it out myself (also using Firefox) it works as expected, so I’m not sure what might be going wrong.

How about this – would you be down to apply via email, instead? Simply include a link to this topic and a note that you found the submission form was unworkable and in addition to attaching the required document(s) please just note your answers to the same questions that are asked on the form.

The email address to use is simply support-attheeventscalendar-dot-com.

I hope that helps and thank you for your interest 🙂

Hi JM!

The best starting place for changes like this one is our Themer’s Guide, which covers the basics for safely overriding and customizing our templates:

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide

Within the pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php you would then find this piece of code:

<?php echo tribe_get_venue_link(); ?>

Simply modify this to:

<?php echo tribe_get_venue() ?>

Do note however that this change will also impact the calendar widget (since that template is shared by both) – but if that’s not a concern this approach should meet your needs nicely 🙂

[Barry]

Fantastic!

In that case I’ll close this topic, but if you need assistance with anything else (I realise you may still have some related concerns, but we do try hard to stick to one issue per topic) please don’t hesitate to post a fresh support topic and one of the team will be only too happy to help 🙂

Thanks again.

Hi there Nick,

Thanks for your interest!

The best way to get a sense of how things look is to visit our demo site at wpshindig.com – it so happens almost all the events listed there are recurring so you should be able to find what you’re looking for 🙂

Doing a site for a theater company that has a show running for a full month with multiple shows at different dates and times through out the event.

Just to avoid any confusion, I would note that – currently at least – a recurring event can take place on multiple dates but the time will always be exactly the same (the recurrence model does not yet support an event that repeats weekly, for example, but where the time changes for each week, ie 12pm on the first occasion and 2pm on the second).

Will the calendar show each occurrence?

They show up for each and every day that they take place. In list view, on the other hand, there are options to show only the first upcoming instance and hide the rest, which some people prefer (and besides toggling this on and off as the site administrator, you can enable an option to let visitors choose to show or hide them, too – so it’s really very flexible).

I hope that answers your questions but let me know if I can help with anything else!

[Barry]

Hi Davin,

Before we go much further I feel I should highlight that – while we’re always happy to help – the amount of support we can offer for customizations like this is comparatively limited.

Ultimately while we can provide a starting point and aim to point you in the right direction, changes like this need to be driven forward by you (and it’s important you understand how these things work so you can maintain them in the future should something else change that has an impact on your solution).

How can I remove my category form the list view of the main calendar?

Right now the snippet only “kicks in” if month view is being viewed and a specific category (or tag) has not been requested:

if ( tribe_is_month() && ! is_tax() )

You might wish to add further checks for list view using tribe_is_list_view() if you want to extend this to cover list view, too.

Would that work for you here?

Hi Ben,

It looks like you are using the Default Events Template. I wonder, can you try switching to the Default Page Template (you can do this in the Events → Settings → Display screen) and see if that helps?

Let me know how you get on!

[Barry]

Hi Ben,

Some rules like these ought to help:

#tribe-events-content h1, 
#tribe-events-content h2,
#tribe-events-content h3,
#tribe-events-content h4,
#tribe-events-content h5,
#tribe-events-content a,
div#tribe-events-content span
    { color: yellow }

You can learn more about the process for adding these in our Themer’s Guide 🙂

Does that help?
