Thanks I think that did the trick!

Recurring event are now appearing as normal in the calendar.

I’m going to continue to test and ensure that everything is functioning properly, but so far, so good.

OK I think we’re getting somewhere. I updated the “Datepicker Date Format” settings to use dashes instead of slashes. Check out my screenshot to see what I’m referring to.

Now my dates save properly and I don’t get any “invalid date” messages.

However my recurring events still aren’t appearing in my main event calendar – both in the “calendar” and the “list” view.

Maybe I need to do some kind of permalink refresh or cache clearing, or something else like that? I don’t know.

OK I set up a separate test website and got some surprising results. On this new test site, everything works fine.

However all dates are auto-populated with dashes instead of a slash. When the event is saved/updated everything saves properly and all instances of the recurring event appear in the calendar.

On our live site the dates auto-populate with slashes, but when the event is saved those dates become divided with dashes and I get an “invalid date” error.

Check out my screenshot attached for a visual explanation.

Really not sure what’s going wrong at this point. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi there.

Sorry for the belated response on this. The 3 screenshots that you requested are attached in this post.

For the “Timezone Settings,” I tried clicking the button to “update timezone data,” but that didn’t solve the original problem with the dates of my recurring events being saved improperly.

I’ve inspected the page in the admin panel multiple times and have yet to see any JS errors.

When I view the debug log, I see a series of messages relating to the use of a deprecated function in my theme. This is related to a number of custom widgets that the theme we’re using shipped with. An example of one of the messages looks like this:

[24-Feb-2017 22:28:25 UTC] PHP Notice: The called constructor method for WP_Widget in custom_category is <strong>deprecated</strong> since version 4.3.0! Use <pre>__construct()</pre> instead. in /Users/evanscheingross/Sites/cbisd/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3891

However, when I switch themes the issue still persists.

I’ve also tried deactivating all plugins except The Events Calendar and the pro add-on, but that didn’t help either.

I will try setting up a new WordPress installation and test for the error once again.

Hi there.

I migrated a copy of the website to my own localhost for testing. I deactivated all plugins except for The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar Pro. I also reverted the theme to TwentyFifteen.

However I am still receiving the same issue when saving dates for recurring events that fall under the “once” category.

Check out my attached screenshot for a visual of what’s happening, along with some additional explanation.

Note that this issue isn’t happening for events that have a defined recurring pattern (i.e. first Thursday of every month, every Monday, etc…) It’s only happening for recurring events that have no particular order to when they happen so all instances are set as “once.”

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help troubleshoot this issue. I don’t think I’m the only one with this particular problem.

Thanks!

Thank you for the update.

I’m embarrassed to say it, but the issue was that I had the recurring event instances option checked instead of unchecked. That means that only the first instance of my recurring events would be displayed in list view – which was exactly what was happening for me.

I just didn’t realize the option existed.

Sorry, and thank you for your help.

Please consider this issue resolved.

Awesome thank you Brian!I will give this a shot and let you know how it goes. Please keep me updated as to when this is patched in an official release.

[kshein]

Thanks for bringing this to the attention of your developers Brian.

If getting a fix committed into an updated version is a long way out, is there any way you’d be able to post the code for a manual fix we can implement for the immediate time being using an overriding template file?

Please continue to keep us updated on how this issue is being resolved.

Thanks for the tip. I had a look at the file list-widget.php and it appears that it’s supposed to be doing what I want it to do, which is link to a particular event category archive page if only one category is specified in the shortcode.

This is documented in the comment starting on line 46 in list-widget.php and the code immediately below.

However this is failing to work for me. When I enter the shortcode [tribe_events_list category=”adultlearners” limit=”20″] the “view all events” link is sends me to http://mydomain.com/events/ instead of http://mydomain.com/events/category/adultlearners.

I’ve tried deactivating all other plugins in search of a conflict and found none. I also tried reverting back to the TwentyTwelve theme in the event of a theme conflict but the problem persists.

Is this a bug? Or is this a problem with my installation only?
