Hi Daniel,
I have mentioned following in my other support-thread but this here is the more suitable one, so I’ll copy & paste as I think you won’t need a db-dump to reproduce:

PRO 3.0.2 seems to be broken. Can be easily reproduced:
Take a new, empty wp-installation, add TEC and create one event. You can view this event. Now add PRO 3.0.2 and activate it -> no events can be seen anymore (page not found). Replace by PRO 3.0.1 and all is fine.

Kind Regards,
Bernhard.

Hi Daniel,
thanks in advance to look into this more deeply!

To save your time I’ve set up a few installations which might help to track down the issue more quickly.

* http://v3.ubiquarian.net/events/
this is the old installation with upgraded (removed old TEC-folders, copied new files) events calendar, using my theme (Magazine Premium)
* http://tribe1.ubiquarian.net/events/
this is the old installation (in fact a copy from the one above), but using the original Twenty Eleven

You may see the problem is the same, on both.
I’ve discovered where the problem comes from, it’s WPML, on more time 😉
If I deactivate WPML on the installations above TEC will display properly. But it’s not an option not to use WPML on this page. Just for the record, TEC was not using any translation yet, WPML was used only for ‘normal’ posts and pages.
Anyway, as this display issue does not occur on a fresh wp-install with empty TEC and empty WPML it will maybe be very hard to find the entries in the db causing the problem, as the db has more then 15MB already.

This brought me to the idea to start from scratch and import posts and pages via export/import instead of copying the db, and of course configuring all plugins again. This has worked well. After all data, except the one from TEC, was imported and everything was configured, the empty TEC did still load immaculate.

My conclusion was, I did not take the error into the new setup, and WPML and TEC do work together. Happily I started to export events/venues/organizers from the live page, and imported them into this installation. This was also working, well almost, if there would not be the “Unnamed Organizer” and “Unnamed Venue” entries.

To verify this easily I’ve setup a new installation. Empty webspace, wp 3.5.2, TEC 3.0.1 and PRO plugin only – no theme nor other plugins added. After wp was uploaded and installed I activated TEC followed by PRO. Then imported venues, organizers and events, that’s all. You may find it here:
* http://tribe3.ubiquarian.net/events/
Now take any of the 1000 entries and you will see EVERY venue and organizer is “Unnamed” although the name can be seen in the permalink.

For the protocoll: I had to use PRO 3.0.1 as 3.0.2 seems to be broken. Can be easily reproduced: New, empty wp-installation, add TEC and create one event. You can view this event. Now add PRO 3.0.2 and activate it -> no events can be seen anymore (page not found). But I guess until you read my lines you have probably fixed this issue and there’s a 3.0.3 😉

I’m sorry for you guys there’s a lot of work for you, and everybody wants solutions immediately. But on the other hand, your product is great and I hope you will continue your good work!

I’ll post this reply now although I had another idea that I want to try, as I write these lines. I’ll come back to you with the result later (probably no one will read this until Monday).

Cheers!

Hi Leah,
no worry, happily it’s not the live-page affected which is still on v2.

Thanks for the general tips, to show I take it serious I’ll give a short response to each one.
* I’ve double checked and even downloaded the latest version one more time, also to be sure it’s not a transfer problem.
* I had indeed problems with the permalinks, on v2 I can’t load a events-category directly, it will always return 404. I’ve flushed the permalinks 100 times, even directly in db. Categories will only load less then a minute after saving permalinks in wordpress or just opening the permalinks-config-page, short time later you can’t load it anymore (without any interaction on the page, just wait 10-30sec). But this is only with v2 so I was strongly looking forward to v3, where I had no permalink issue yet. Anyway I don’t think that permalinks are involved in the problem this time.
* I’ve made a few fresh installs now and the problem appears before changing any setting.
* I’ve done customization but I have replaced all v2 files, and tried with different themes, so this should also not be an issue.

Best regards!
Bernhard.

Thanks for your quick response.
The staging page (url posted above) is now up again, but I\’ve found a better code which fixes all issues with less code:
#tribe-events-event-meta { line-height: 16px; }
#tribe-events-event-meta dd.vcard.author.event-meta.event-meta-author { float: none; }
#tribe-events-event-meta span.date.updated { float: left; }

Thanks for your hints and the support!

[Bernhard]

I’m sorry for not responding earlier I had some more important issues with the page lately. Now I’m back to this.

I’ve played around with all different possibilities I have found, finally I’m using this lines, which almost fix the styling (only the organizer is still aligned to the right, but if there’s no easy way, I’ll wait to v3, maybe the view is different in general).
#tribe-events-event-meta dd.event-meta.event-meta-phone { float: left; position: absolute; margin-top: 26px }
#tribe-events-event-meta dt.event-label.event-label-updated { margin-top: 10px }
#tribe-events-event-meta span.date.updated { float: left; margin-top: 10px }
Up to now I can’t see any bad on other sides.

[Bernhard]

Thank you! Getting closer.
It’s left-aligned now but moving the entries to the next line.

I’m still not good in css but I’ll try some more combinations, the right one must be out there!

[Bernhard]

Same here! I just want to display ALL today’s events in the widget, doesn’t matter if it is 0 or 20.
What I’ve done is taking the file ‘events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php’ from ‘events-calendar-pro/views’. Then I tried to follow this topic https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/only-show-todays-events-in-widget, so I added

if( function_exists( ‘tribe_get_events’ ) ) {
$date = date(‘Y-m-d’);
$posts = tribe_get_events( “start_date=$date&end_date=$date&eventCat=” . $category );
$template = TribeEventsTemplates::getTemplateHierarchy(‘widget-featured-display’);
}

to different positions (of course only one position per try) into this file and uploaded it to ‘wp-content/themes/my-theme/events/’
but the only thing I got is the widget-title, nothing more.

Is the code correct?
To which line-number or between which lines should this code go to?

[Bernhard]

Thanks!
Going PRO and live now,
looking forward to the release,
cheers!

Hi Barry,
sorry for the late response, I was unable to attend.

Thanks for offering a refund, I appreciate this. But I will stay with tribe’s Events Calendar.
It’s still my, and this page owners, first choice. We will be happy if this issue gets solved as it will make the administration more easy. Anyway, The Events Calendar provides the best output for visitors and this is the key point.

I guess best will be if I import all data from the previous site to the soon released one, upgrade to Pro and leave the multiple entries for now, instead of clearing them by hand.
Sam has asked if I have a backup prior the update, would you recommend to go live with the free version and wait with the upgrade until the patch is released? Or is it save to migrate to Pro now, and use a script later? We would like to use Pro’s multi-event-feature and custom fields already.

[Bernhard]

Hi Barry & Samuel,
thanks for looking into this!

Yes, I’ve got a backup, resp. I’ve tested the upgrade on a staging server, the live server is still on the free-version. I can start on the staging on scratch anytime.

Looking foward to the update!
(When do you think can we count with it?)

[Bernhard]

I now compared some of them, the ones with the same name do also have the same values in their fields, only slug differs,
so merging should be quite easy?
