    I was not the original poster. I was just, “helping out.”?

    Great suggestion! It worked for me.
    Maybe I have something set differently, but the location to make changes was
    SEO>>Search Appearance
    Click on the Content Types tab
    Scroll down to where it says “Events” and play with the name from there.

    This was a long time headache. Thanks, Courtney!

    Hi Jamie:

    Thanks for the link to “Why No Padlock.” It led me to the solution!
    If anyone is following this thread, I:

    • Found an event that was not secure and copied the URL for that event’s page.
    • Went to whynopadlock.com and entered that URL.
    • After a moment I scrolled to the bottom where I was shown that that I had a soft error.
    • I had a custom icon in my map, and it was the source of the warning that the page was not secure.
    • I went into the customizer and the Events calendar and deleted it, going back to the default pin.

    Everything is now secure! Thanks Jamie for the new tool!

    Hi Jamie:

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I already have it installed (so that’s a good thing.) I have it set to the “capture” level, with the only higher level left being “Capture All.” It comes with the warning, “The biggest potential to break things…” which seems like a warning I should heed and not go there.

    The next section is “Fixes for specific plugins and themes.” I have checked “List category posts with pagination.” I don’t have the second option checked. It refers to WooCommerce, and that’s not something used on this site.

    Ignore external sites is not checked.

    HTTPS detection is set to the first option “standard WordPress function” There’s a notation in red that says, “*detected as recommended setting.”

    Your thoughts about messing with these settings?

    How did I not see that?

    Will this survive an update or do I need to somehow get this into the child theme?

    I’m getting there. The discussion was out of my comfort zone, but your 2/25/16 answer and link to Github led me to a line of code that I could slightly modify to add a “Read More” link.

    <p><a href="[[=permalink]]" class="url">Read More</a></p>

    Following that Github example I added that line in 2 locations to the tooltip.php. Once for the regular listing and once for the featured listing. (See attached) It works fine for featured listings, but that same line is doing nothing for the regular listings.

    You can see it for yourself, here…

    Yes pleas. You’ve teased some really useful upcoming features that I’m kind of counting on and I’d hate to be left behind .

    Hello, Jack!

    Thanks for reaching out! I’m sorry to hear about this but glad you were able to find a fairly painless resolution.

    I’ll log a ticket for the bug and mark this conversation as ‘Pending Fix’ so you’ll know when that happens.

    Hi George:

    Sorry for the delay. I chose to clone the website to my computer so that I could “mess with things” as much as necessary.

    The cloned version does show the error as described below.

    So I:

    Disabled all plugins except for ECP/ECP Pro and the error remained.
    Re-enabled the plugins
    Changed to the default theme
    I finally could see the calendar along with the one test event I had entered.

    So, we have a theme issue. The theme is iThemes “Builder.” I had never heard of it, but in looking around, I gather it is a very flexible site building theme. So, more than a regular “theme,” I guess.

    I checked the forum and didn’t find much on “Builder.” Any thoughts?

    The good news is the client hates the website look, so the theme is on the ropes, the bad news is that payment is due soon on another year of their current calendar system. So, clock is ticking.

    Thanks for your time and insight.

    Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately, they didn’t help. I….

    1. Went to permalinks and hit save
    2. Changed the calendar page to “eventtest”
    3. Just in case, went to permalinks and hit save again

    But, unfortunately I had the same result…

    I’m afraid the code is crashing the site. So I’m obviously missing some fundamental step.

    I’m using a child theme, so I’m putting it in the functions.php file of the child theme. . Is that okay?

    The error message from the crash is:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /srv/www/data/users/e/a/ea82b374/public/wp-content/themes/x-child/functions.php on line 137

    Line 137 is the first line of the code snippet.

    Your thoughts?
