Great – well in that case since I don’t think there’s too much else we can do on this occasion I’ll go ahead and close this thread – thanks for your patience and support 🙂

[Barry]

I think possibly you’re confusing the theme editor (a part of WordPress, which you could indeed use here if you are very careful) and the file system.

WordPress itself is basically a collection of files and has three primary directories – wp-content, wp-admin and wp-includes. So what that instruction is saying is you would need to locate the theme directory (which normally can be found within the wp-content/themes directory).

You can access the file system either by FTP or, depending on your web host, you may have a graphical file manager you can access. Does that clarify things?

[Barry]

Great – sounds like you’re on track – but I’m just a little unclear as to if there are still any remaining problems. What I’ll do therefore is close this thread to give you a chance to explore and, if you need further help, you can certainly get back to us by opening new threads (do feel free to create separate threads for each individual problem).

Regarding the quote you received, that doesn’t sound hugely expensive for developer time and doesn’t necessarily indicate a ‘huge fix’ or anything of the sort is really needed, but without knowing the details of the exchange it is hard to say. There is a huge market out there with lots of competing but experienced WP devs, though, so do take the time to look around.

Thanks!

[Barry]

No problem at all – that’s definitely a wise precaution.

[Barry]

I do apologize – my fault, I can see that now.

I can’t help but wonder if there is a conflict of sorts going on here, perhaps due to other code not tidying up after a query. Can you try our regular troubleshooting steps:

* Deactivate all other plugins except for those by Modern Tribe
* Switch to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Twelve
* Test with that widget in place
* If the problem is solved, reactivate everything else one-at-a-time
* Test at each stage to see if the problem has returned

This could help to isolate the conflicting component, if there is one, and we can then focus on that. If it’s not possible to do these steps in the live environment it would be awesome if you could instead set up a duplicate site locally or in a comparable but separate hosting environment and run through the troubleshooting process there.

Thanks!

Hi calarttech – unfortunately this forum isn’t the best at dealing with code – it’s much better to share code by adding it to a service like Gist or Pastebin and dropping the link in here (I suspect we’re missing some of what you wrote, for instance).

However, I suspect you may be using a WordPress API function to retrieve those posts … for events can you instead try using tribe_get_events()? That might help to ensure you get back event posts organized in a more meaningful manner.

Thanks (apologies also for the delay)!

Hi Cintia!

The two .vcard sections (Consultoria and Segmento) caught my eye – is this the result of a customization (normally I’d expect to see 3 columns, not 4 as you have there).

Thanks for clarifying!

[Barry]

So for the search results you could for instance discriminate between events and other posts by editing content.php and (in the default Twenty Twelve theme, around line 33) changing:

if ( is_search() ) :

To

if ( is_search() and ! tribe_is_event() ) :

And that would display the complete event description rather than the excerpt, but leave other non-event search results untouched. You could go further and pull in other bits of event data using functions like tribe_get_start_date(), too, but I’ll leave that to your imagination.

And now that I think of it, more importantly, is there a way to have the full post show within the category listing view?

For this one you would need to override list/single-event.php (please see our Themer’s Guide for details) and locate this line:

<?php the_excerpt() ?>

Changing it to:

<?php the_content() ?>

Hope that helps!

Hi! It looks like that’s part of your theme’s header rather than being something our plugin controls … you might be able to use some code like this to target that text only for event category pages – I tested it against Twenty Twelve, but do note you’re very likely going to have to adapt it A) for your theme and B) to do exactly what you want.

Hope that helps!

[Barry]

Terrific!

Hi Tyler,

I think determining if the problem is with your theme would be the next logical step here – if you can’t or don’t want to do this on your live site then working locally or in a duplicate hosting environment would be a good way to go.

I just updated the site to jQuery 2.0.3

Yeah jQuery may not be the fundamental problem here – but I mentioned it because very often having an old or, in this case, very new version can lead to problems (no stable builds of WordPress currently ship with jQuery 2.0.3 for example, as far as I am aware – is there a reason you aren’t enqueuing the shipped copy of jQuery instead?).

The big problem here though is that The Event Calendar’s scripts and styles aren’t being delivered to the browser and very often that is due to an issue at theme level.

[Barry]

Some functions such as tribe_events_the_previous_month_link() add data-month and rel attributes (and it’s quite possible you need to add these to your link, best thing to do would be test the theory out with a manually crafted link first of all) – for what you’re trying to do here though you would probably need to do a little manipulation of your own to do this dynamically.

This is however very much in customization territory so we can’t really provide much more help – for which reason I’ll now close this thread – but we do wish you luck – it’s great to see interesting things being built with The Events Calendar 🙂

[Barry]

The whole suite of widgets went through some considerable changes – hopefully it will make them more flexible and provide an updated look and feel – as always the capability to tweak or replace them remains 🙂

[Barry]

Hi aurelio,

In the first instance can you try playing with the Events Template setting in Events → Settings → Display and see if that gets you closer to a solution?

If not just let us know (and please include a URL where we can see the problem) – thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Mark,

It looks like your calendar widget is the regular WordPress calendar – can you switch it out for the Events Calendar widget and check to see if you’re still facing problems now that you’ve upgraded?

Thanks!
