Does this help? It’s hard to guarantee anything (since I don’t necessarily know which scripts have been registered to which handles) but that’s a fair educated guess to start with.

[Barry]

Well, it’s potentially as easy as overriding and customizing default-template.php and dropping in a dynamic_sidebar() call for whichever sidebar you want to load – that said, with some theme frameworks there may be a framework-specific way of accomplishing the same thing which may be a better practice in that context, but we’ll need to leave you to investigate that 🙂

Hope that helps!

[Barry]

Ah ok. Not sure why I couldn’t replicate that before but I can now 🙂 … would this sort of approach work for you as an alternative?

[Barry]

It’s always wise to make a backup if you have any doubts (and of course familiarize yourself with the process of restoring that backup).

Depending on how your theme works it may be for instance that sidebar and menu settings are dropped when you change theme – so it could at least be worth jotting down how they are currently configured in case you need to tweak them after running through those steps.

If you’re happy to let us look please do (you can mark your reply as private in order to share the credentials and as an added precaution we’ll remove them once we have them).

As an added bonus, can you confirm if you’re happy for us to run through the basic troubleshooting steps a second time (which would involve deactivating plugins and changing theme)? Of course we’d recommend making a backup prior to this and knowing how to restore that backup.

If you’d rather we don’t do that and just want us to take a look however then that’s fine, too 🙂

Thanks!

Hi Shimatorabi,

Just for future reference posting code directly into the forum isn’t always a great idea (as our forum doesn’t handle it very nicely and bits of code are often dropped). Instead, please share code using a service like Pastebin or Gist and drop the link in here.

If you can do that I’ll be happy to take a quick look – but please do understand while we can point you in the right direction really you need to be prepared to make these changes and investigate any issues by yourself.

Thanks!

Hi John,

Yes – that’s listed on our tutorials page – if you have any questions or concerns about the content of that tutorial though I would ask that you create a new thread 🙂

Thanks!

[Barry]

No problem. I’ll go ahead and close this – but if you have further questions on this or anything else at some future point definitely feel free to go ahead and create new threads as needed 🙂

Does toggling between the different available event templates (in Events → Settings → Display – such as Default Page Template and Default Events Template) resolve this?

[Barry]

I added the suggested code into Dynamik’s functions, and no change.

Yep it wouldn’t work with this particular issue though I still think a similar issue is at play: in your case it won’t appear quite as garbled (that term is mine and strictly non-technical!) either, owing to the nature of the content (here it is a single event post being turned into an excerpt, rather than a calendar grid).

Bear with me while I have a quick chat to the team. The problem is that although we can offer some fixes for common themes like Genesis, when we get into the realm of specific child themes it becomes a little trickier – we don’t have access to every theme out there and it may have specific hooks and a structure all of its own.

I’ll let you know what we can do here as soon as I can, thanks for your patience 🙂

Hi!

Can you try adding this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file in the first instance and see if that resolves the problem?

Note that ordinarily you will not need to opening <?php tag if you are pasting this into an existing functions.php file.

Let me know if it helps/you require further assistance!

Hi Dulcie,

That’s ok, we definitely appreciate not everyone is familiar with coding for WordPress. That said, you’d really need to do some reading both in terms of the WordPress docs for WP_Query and PHP in general to be confident your work is going to be robust and reliable and do exactly what you want 🙂

Basically though you could use TribeEvents::VENUE_POST_TYPE instead of ‘tribe_venues’ when setting the post_type argument – the advantage being if we change the name of the venue post type in the future your code should still work. However, if you’re uncomfortable with this just use ‘tribe_venues.’

As we’re talking about a customization here, however, I’m afraid we’ll have to bow out and wish you luck – good luck!

[Barry]

Just to clarify – do you mean the URL is actually showing incorrectly in the editor, or just that it doesn’t work when you follow it? I just want to be sure I have a complete picture here.

Also, what are your permalink settings and what web server is your site running on?

[Barry]

Great! I’ll go ahead and close this thread.

For your other question, if you take a look at our tutorials page you should be able to find a tutorial about integrating events with WP’s RSS feed.

Hope that helps!

[Barry]

Hi onelittlemoose, it looks to me like your theme is trying to show the post excerpt and is thus condensing The Events Calendar’s output. We do have a fix for something similar that can occur for the main events view with Genesis, however this of course is subtly different.

Does this same problem happen if you simply use Genesis itself (or some other child theme) – in other words, is it specific to Dynamik?
