    Christine,

    The tribe_last_save_post looks like it’s part of the caching mechanism built into The Events Calendar.

    With caching enabled every visit, human and non-human (bots), the database is checked to see if the item is cached AND whether of not there have been any changes. Most likely there is an change to the cache record or a timestamp change that is constantly happening in the background. As with any caching mechanism, there’s a lot of chatter. Essentially caching is doing its job.

    Depending on the number of events, the amount of site traffic and any admin changes, it will probably produce variable numbers including high ones at times.

    Two options. Turn off caching OR see if BackupBuddy can exclude tribe_last_save_post. I’m not familiar with BackupBuddy and whether that’s possible. It does look like the Recent Edits Summary is a relatively new feature. So perhaps reaching out to the plugin author would not hurt and perhaps shed some more light on the subject.

    You may want to compare settings on a site that not exhibiting the behavior and see if caching is turned off in The Events Calendar. The setting is on the Display Tab in The Events Calendar. Look for “Enable the Month View Cache”.

    Hope this helps.

    Arnau,

    The Yoga Fit theme author (CMSMasters) has highly customized the widgets you are using on your website. They are using hcalendar/vevent to generate the markup. The Events Calendar uses JSON-LD to produce its markup.

    You can the same errors when running the Yoga Fit demo through the Google Structured Data Testing Tool.

    You will need to contact CMS Masters Support to resolve the Google errors.

    Hope this helps.

    Gustavo,

    It looks like you are using the Avada theme. The issue is related to Avada’s CSS overrides of Event Tickets. Avada is setting widths by a percentage, but not accounting for mobile or small screens. Unfortunately Avada has not addressed the issue as of yet.

    The only work around requires quite a bit of CSS modification with media queries.

    Since the modifications were done by the theme author, it is best to reach out to their support so it can be resolved for you and others.

    As a side note, I too have escalated this issue to Theme Fusion. I am awaiting a response from their developers.

    Kat,

    The Fusion Builder Recent Posts element was created by Theme Fusion/Avada. To change any aspect of it you will need to refer to Avada’s documentation or reach out to Avada’s support.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    1.) This is an issue with Avada. You will need to contact their support to escalate and resolve the navigation issue.

    2.) The Avada theme has control over the position of the events title bar. It can be positioned above/below or disabled in the Avada settings. Unfortunately Avada has not updated its documentation on the setting. Here’s the only reference to it that I could find.

    Hope this helps.

    Karen,

    1. When I search a mobile device, the event is not listed.

    As long as the markup is present, it’s up to Google to crawl the site and then add the results to Search.

    I searched on my phone for “innovative global vision October events Amplify Your ROI” your event was found right at the top. So Google is picking it up.

    2. Google is reporting errors.

    I do not see any errors under the Event section of the Structured Test even when pasting the first Script you posted above. I do see warnings, but no errors.

    Can you screen shot the errors for this particular event?

    Karen,

    You have a venue called “Webinar”. This venue does not have an address therefore it will generate an error in the Google Search Console when used.

    You either have to give it an address or accept that Google will generate an error.

    I assume that your Webinars are “virtual” so to speak. So they really don’t have a location. Therefore the errors would not have any negative effect since there isn’t a location to be concerned about in a Google Search.

    As for the warnings, they are just that. There are some cases where that particular markup is not applicable to an event. The warnings about Missing Field “Image” can be corrected by adding a featured image to an event. It looks like you have some without images such as this one.

    https://www.igvinc.com/event/webinar-convert-leads-automating-marketing-3/

    Again, there are some cases you may not want an image in an event. Google only flags it as a warning, not an error.

    Hope this helps.

    Hello,

    The Events Calendar does not use hentry and hcalendar anymore. It now uses JSON_LD for its markup.

    Those errors/entries are coming from your theme. The theme author has customized certain views and dynamically generates these entries.

    As a test to see if The Events Calendar is correctly generating the markup, run an event through Google’s Structured Data Testing Tool.

    https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool#url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bikethebugles.at%2Fevent%2Fkampstein-uphill%2F

    You will see under the “Detected” section one for “Event”. This is the one generated by The Events Calendar. You may see warnings. Warnings are acceptable because those fields may not be applicable in every case. Errors are the ones to look out for.

    The other ones labeled hentry an hcalendar are coming from the Enfold theme and the source of the error.

    You will need to contact Enfold’s support to resolve the issue.

    Hope this helps.

    Chris,

    Glad to hear you’ve got things worked out.

    You mentioned that there were some entries in the Custom CSS that you didn’t put there. It’s entirely possible that it came from a demo content import when the site was set up.

    If that’s not the case, then it probably woudn’t hurt to confirm with Avada where the Custom CSS came from. Either way at least you found the source of the issue.

    Chris,

    Truly as strange one.

    Avada is hiding the footer too. I cannot find where in Avada they have that controlled via their settings.

    The attached images shows where it’s coming from. However the Avada “Dynamic CSS & JS” settings are compressing the CSS files so it’s hard to determine exactly where it’s coming from within Avada. Unless you turn of the compression for testing purposes.

    The only other place it could be coming from is CSS placed in the “Custom CSS” settings within Avada.

    Once again, you can add additional CSS as follows to override their customization as follows:


    #tribe-events-footer {
    display: inherit !important;
    }

    It would be nice to know where and how Avada is hiding the footer. For that you would have to open a ticket with their support.

    Hope this helps.
