I don’t know – I think we had a bet! 😀

OK – I edited the Lion King and saved it without making any changes. It seems to have resolved the problem.

It also resolved the issue on the Technology event as well even though I didn’t edit that specific event.

Thoughts?

Ultimately it would be good to discover the root cause of the issue. Prevention is better than cure. Who knows how long this “issue” has been in play on my site and how many people got a 404 error before I saw it. I might investigate if there is some way of notifying me via email of a 404 error so it can be resolved earlier.

I just hope that once this is closed it is not forgotten. You mention it happens often – that concerns me… 😉

Thanks.

I bet that will reveal a conflicting plugin or perhaps your theme,

How much was the bet? Free upgrade to Business???

As I mentioned I have switched off all except the 3 plungins I have from you guys. (The events calendar, pro and community events) I run rocket to customise the front screen to show by default as photo.

I also run Antispam by clean talk to eliminate spam on the site. I run a few other plugins – but they are all off at the moment.

I have changed my theme to TweentyThirteen. (All of this I believe I mentioned before)

With rocket turned off the site returns a 404 error on home page as it doesn’t know what to display anymore by default – selecting upcoming events -> Lion king = 404. Same happens with Antispam turned off. I don’t want to leave this off for any period of time so it is currently back on. But even though this is a LIVE SITE I have left the them on TwentyThirteen.

The issues still remains. Does this mean you lost the bet?

It doesn’t happen on all reoccurring events…

I don’t quite understand what you want me to do with the timezone – but just for kicks I changed it to UTC with no difference. I have changed this back to UTC+10.

I cleared cache and also tried it with Chrome and Firefox.

Did you notice the URL it is trying to display when clicked?

Let me know what you think and when you will pay up on the bet (as I have a sister site I want to launch – onin.sydney)

Hello,

I am experiencing the same thing. Searching for 404 there seem to be a number of them hoping up.

In my case it seems to be on events that mare multiday.
Click on Lion king.

Also the technology one…

I have removed all the plugins (but switched on the anti spam one as I started getting spam straight away…)
Also reverted to 2013 (but my theme is based on that theme)

Thoughts?

Hey – Happy 2015!

I didn’t implement this due to being a newbie and most of what you said went over my head… I have messed with a few filters – but they were quite basic (I successfully removed “Upcoming Events” from the title for example that I’ll include below in case it helps someone.)

/**
 * Filter Single Event Title in the Events Calendar 3.8 to Remove Upcoming Events
 * 
 */
add_filter('tribe_events_title_tag', 'ecp_filter_single_title', 10, 4);
function ecp_filter_single_title( $title_filter, $new_title, $title, $sep ) {
		if( tribe_is_event() && is_single() ) {
			$title_filter = str_replace('Upcoming Events |', '', $title_filter);
		}
        return $title_filter;
}

Even now I worry about making changes that might be undone by updates.

But – I think spending some time explaining what the filter does and maybe making a tutorial on the subject would help those who are still getting a feel for how it all works. Maybe this would be a perfect example for the tutorial! 🙂

Hello,

I believe I have resolved this issue (sort of).

I noticed that some of my events were changing the time due to the end of DST in the east coast of Melbourne. Looking at my DST settings in WP I had it set for “Melbourne” which was fair enough given the site was for Melbournians. Changing it to UTC+10 resolved the time changing issues (but it did put the time out by an hour at the moment so events lingered after midnight until they refreshed). It also seemed to fix the problem with 2 day events and the weird 2 day on every 2nd week one.

I don’t really know what was causing it. Something isn’t playing nicely with DST.

Regards,

Glenn.

FYI – This event using custom on every 2 weeks for fri and sat between 27MAR and 11APR should make 4 events but only makes 3. The second one on the 28th is missing. Probably the same issue. 🙁

Hi – I have discovered the Event Rocket plugin is causing the issue.

When creating a two day event that starts at 8pm (this is the time I have found to fail – it might be after noon or after 6pm – i have not tested it further) the second day event is not created,

When Rocket is turned off it seems to be ok.

I have sent an email to the Rocket developer.

Can you test with rocket enabled and confirm issue? Maybe you have a close working relationship with the developer and can get his attention. After all it has been all of 3 minutes and no reply!!! Outrageous! 😛

Regards,

Glenn.

Scrap my last comment! I thought it was too easy. It was just a coincidence that the last event I added was first in the list. :'(

I’ll go stand in the corner now…

FYI – In case you haven’t worked out I’m new at all this…

I resolved the sort issue I was having by changing the file: tribe-event-query.class.php
Looked for line: $query->set( ‘order’, ‘DESC’ );
Changed to: $query->set( ‘order’, ‘ASC’ );

And it seemed to do what I was looking for.

I understand that if your plugin is updated this change is lost and I have vaguely got my head around putting the file in my theme but future updates might be important. Maybe you were trying to tell me the correct way to do it above, but it kinda went over my head. Feel free to give me a rap over the knuckles for bad practice and enlighten me a little more on the correct way to do it. (I normally only need to be told 2 or 3 times and then I can work it out for myself!) 🙂

Maybe this could be included in future update if it doesn’t screw anything else up. (Although I fell it might – I guess I’ll find out the hard way.)

Thanks.

Glenn.

Well that was fun. I completely nuked my install. Reinstalled everything. Uploaded a SQL backup. reinstalled child theme. Reinstalled the plugins. Calendar/Pro still showed the home page screwed up.

Then I got to Event Rocket… One of its features is to display your calendar as the homepage. Reset that up and it is all working. (Except I still have to install a lot of other plugins…)

Seems one of the plugins switched that off – and I never thought it wasn’t a feature of Tribe.

Well – lesson learnt.

Regards,

Glenn.

To clarify – The order the default home page is displaying the events is (I believe) in the order the event was entered into the system. Not chronological from todays date. Also the view is not shown as the “Default” which is set as photo. Also there is no heading that normally contains “Upcoming Events”. But all of these are shown correctly if you select Events -> View Calendar from the WP Dashboard or from the site menu selecting Events -> Upcoming Events.

Regards,

Glenn.

Hi – Thanks for looking into it.

http://onin.melbourne/ should display the same as http://onin.melbourne/events/

It was displaying this way with the next upcoming events shown in Photo view (With the title Upcoming Events above it). For some reason now it is displaying the next event as one in Sept followed by one in Dec followed by one in March.

I hope I am making some sense. 🙂

Regards,

Glenn.
