I’m caught up in another project at the moment, but screenshots will be possible. I’ll also upgrade to the new version of WordPress and see if that affects anything. It may be a little while, but you’ll hear from me as soon as I can get to this.
No, I’m not at all set up. My questions weren’t answered and I’m pretty frustrated. By the way, when I say that the dates are mangled using EC Pro with Underscores, I don’t mean that the styling wasn’t “attractive,” I mean that date and start times are missing from the tooltips. I can fix unattractive, but I can’t fix broken functionality. That’s why I would like to be pointed to documentation showing the minimum functional requirements for a theme, any theme, to work with EC Pro.
OK, but that’s not really an answer. What are the bare minimum theme requirements for TEC Pro? I tried loading Underscores, for instance, and while the tooltips displayed, the event dates within them were mangled. As Underscores is an Automattic theme, I presume it is built following best practices.
Without troubleshooting my particular theme (since the ultimate point is to construct a new, compatible theme anyway), can you point to documentation or elaborate on the exact minimum theme requirements? What pages, code, styles or scripts must be present?
I forgot to mention that I deleted the override folder from the outset. So that didn’t fix it, unfortunately.
OK, I was *finally* able to get a local copy of my site up-and-running to fiddle with the plugins. I had been holding off on updating Yoast and WPML due to conflicts with EC Pro. But now it looks like everyone is playing nicely again. I updated all three plugins, and that not only didn’t break EC Pro, it fixed the goofiness with the recurring permalinks. I still needed to repatch the events-admin.js file (since that wasn’t included in the EC 2.0.11 update), but, fingers crossed, I’m good again.
OK, I tried it again and got the same results, but with more specific details this time. I created a new event, set to recur daily for two days. It had a single post ID (6841) with two permalinks:
../event/test-event/2014-01-11/
../event/test-event/2014-01-12/I then edited the second occurrence. Now, both dates have separate post IDs (6841 and 6842), but the same permalink (/event/test-event/). They show up on the correct days, with the correct information, in both the list and calendar views, but the permalinks both lead to the information for the second date.
Then when I went into post.php again for the second occurrence. Without even editing it or saving it, the permalink was automatically revised (probably to fix the conflict). So now the two permalinks are:
http://www.christchurchcathedral.org/event/test-event/
http://www.christchurchcathedral.org/event/test-event-2/The first of these permalinks directs to the second occurrence (although it is supposed to be assigned to the first), and the second permalink is invalid.
The problem seems to be strictly with the permalinks.
It’s still dodgy. I created a test event with the same scenario. Now when I edit the recurrence, it does prompt me about editing all future dates. But having edited just the one recurrence, the permalink for the first date now goes to the information for the second, and the permalink for the second date goes nowhere.
I can’t do that on my live site, and I don’t currently have a development installation. I have not been updating plugins lately, though, because EC conflicts with recent updates to Yoast and WPML so I’m running old versions of everything else to keep EC working.
I figured as much! I’ll hold onto my WPML installer and test it out with each EC update to see if the problem clears.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s fine to close the thread. Especially since this is due in the next release!
