Apologies for the delay, Kevin – this was sitting fairly far down on the to-do list but we did finally get around to updating it. Thanks again for the suggestion!

Thanks for re-posting:

I accidentally click the “this is resolved” in my last reply to this topic ( https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/recurring-events-only-publishing-the-first-day/ )so I’m starting a new thread because I can’t seem to undo that.

Please let me apologize first of all for the inconvenience this caused – we do have a few glitches in our forum software and are steadily working to resolve them.

After switching to the 2013 and 2011 versions of WordPress’ default theme and shutting off all plugins except Events Calendar/Events Calendar Pro, I still can’t get any recurring events to publish the recurring days.

I’m a bit bamboozled as to why this is happening – one last thing to try yourself or perhaps you can confirm right off the bat: does this affect all recurrence patterns in your case? Could you try a monthly or weekly pattern for instance, if you haven’t already done so.

What would be great is if – in the same hosting environment, perhaps in a subdirectory – you install a fresh copy of WordPress and set up only our plugins to begin with and see if the same problem occurs there and – if they do – if it was possible to gain access so we could observe it first hand that would be excellent (this would also avoid impacting adversely on your operational site).

Thanks!

Hi!

So please do feel free to monitor the thread (alexhammerstein) but if you find the issue is slightly different in your case it would be best to break off and create a fresh thread of your own.

dkiessling: it looks to me like this is the result of a stylesheet enqueued by a plugin called WP Property 1.38.4 by Usability Dynamics. To bear this theory out, can you try deactivating that plugin and see if the issues with week view are resolved?

Thanks!

[Barry]

OK … can you confirm what is generating that? It doesn’t look like one of our widgets. Is it a custom piece of work (or has one of our own widgets been extensively customized to achieve this)?

[Barry]

Not sure I can see the same thing – so a screenshot would be awesome if you can share one.

Have you tried our usual recommended steps of deactivating other plugins/switching to a default theme for this one and does that have any impact if so?

Thanks!

[Barry]

Interesting, I’m not quite sure why that would occur.

Installing the WP Debug Bar plugin might provide some useful information, but certainly our standard steps of switching to a default (and unmodified) theme and turning off all other plugins – seeing if the issue persists – then reactivating everything to try and isolate any conflicts is a good way to go.

Beyond that, if your cloned site is an exact duplicate right down to the database entries that suggests there may be some sort of environmental issue, unless the duplicate runs side-by-side in the same hosting environment?

We’d certainly be interested to help you get to the bottom of this one!

Hi – glad you love the calendar!

That certainly is a lot of events and a very high ratio of recurring events in particular … though we’re working hard to improve performance in situations like these it is nonetheless a situation where you’re ultimately likely to need a hosting environment with perhaps a little more “grunt” to speed things up … and of course you could investigate caching (at various different levels) to reduce the amount of work required to produce the month view each time it is requested.

Can you share any details about the sort of hosting arrangements you are using for that site?

Hi Anders,

Your default event view seems to be photo view and I’m guessing you don’t mean to apply this change there; you also don’t seem to have the list view enabled.

Can you clarify where exactly you are trying to implement this change?

Thanks!

Hi jaapstronks,

I’m not sure I can see the problem.

I picked Eleven Forty as a fairly standard example of a Genesis theme, installed the plugin you mentioned and could see it’s effects. I then activated The Events Calendar and could still see it was applying the relevant classes to posts. Finally I activated Events Calendar PRO and again, no change.

Is it possible something else is having a knock-on effect? Can you try this with only our plugins/this grid plugin and a Genesis theme, then perhaps try a different Genesis theme and see if you can isolate anything else that might be impacting.

Have you enabled include events in the main blog loop and have you tried turning it off if so?

Thanks!

Hi Noah:

I do not use wordpress. Is there any way I can embed this calendar on a website outside of wordpress? … I do not want to use any host, as I do not want to pay for a subscription. Can I download and use WordPress on my computer for free or am I forced to use a host?

Anything is possible, however after reading your previous queries I think you are trying to do something that could fairly be described as atypical.

I’m not quite sure if you have an existing website or not. If you do, however, and it supports WordPress’s minimum requirements then you should be able to install it side-by-side with your existing site.

If you do not and you are unwilling to pay for a hosting plan then, yes, you could indeed create a local hosting environment and install WordPress locally. Do remember though that, ordinarily, that means your site will not be publicly accessible unless you go to some unusual lengths.

Does that clarify things at all?

[Barry]

Fantastic question!

Yes, that’s possible, but it would have to be done as a customization and would require some careful thought. While we don’t have any snippets or anything like that already prepared for this sort of change, we’d certainly value any feature requests you might post along these lines.

Essentially though, two possible paths you could explore are deciding what URL should be treated as canonical then:

• Redirecting users there automatically should they land on the URL for a different instance (you might also modify all links to recurring events to point directly to this canonical instance)
• Or else letting visitors land on the relevant pages but add a robot meta tag to instruct search engines not to index them (and provide a link to the canonical page in the meta fields)

Of course there may well be other strategies you could employ here. I hope that helps and please do post a feature request 🙂

Hi ironandsteel – take a look at this tutorial which might give you a few ideas here. Does that help?

Hi ttem,

There are a few things you could do to workaround this – here’s a short snippet which you could use to alter the email address (and you could indeed have it return an empty string).

Or, you could hide the entire email address and label with something like this:

add_filter( 'tribe_event_meta_organizer_email', '__return_empty_string' );

Either snippet could be added to your theme’s functions.php file. Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi!

I believe you are referring to photo view there.

This is effectively a responsive view and it adjusts to fit and make best use of the available space. You certainly could adapt it so it calculates and occupies space in a different manner – but I’d caution that that may be beyond what we can assist with and you would need good general Javascript skills and ideally some working knowledge of the Isotope JS library to boot.

So in summary – yes, you are definitely more than welcome to make changes, but most likely you would need to drive forward such a customization by yourself.

For #2, one option might be to remove the content or restrict the excerpt character length. But wanted to know where to go to do that.

That could be an alternative way to facilitate this and there should be sufficient filters provided not only by The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO but also by WordPress to make this happen.

[Barry]

There certainly is. If you aren’t already familiar with theming The Events Calendar, do checkout The Themer’s Guide in the first instance as it covers many of the basic principles.

The basic approach here would be overriding and customizing the pro/map.php template. Then, in your copy of that template, find the following lines:

<!-- Google Map Container -->
<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'pro/map/gmap-container' ) ?>

<!-- Tribe Bar -->
<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'modules/bar' ); ?>

Simply flip the order:

<!-- Tribe Bar -->
<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'modules/bar' ); ?>

<!-- Google Map Container -->
<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'pro/map/gmap-container' ) ?>

This will put the view selector above the map rather than below. Depending on your theme you may also need (or prefer) to make a few tweaks to the overall styling to ensure this is looks nice and smooth – and again setting that up (a custom events-related stylesheet) is covered in the Themer’s Guide.

Hope that helps!
