Thanks Geoff.
Hopefully we won’t need to do this again! Glad we got it sorted, cheers for your efforts, hope you had a nice easter.
Best,
Greg
PS – I have opened a new ticket to continue a previous thread we were discussing.
The new thread is herehttps://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/fao-geoff-b-continuing-previous-main-loop/
and the old thread is here
** For Geoff B. ** – As discussed – WPML batch duplication/ display
for reference. Thanks in advance for your attention.
Hi Barry,
Thanks for this. Please could you clarify Hunter’s comments then?
Because it seems that 3 months ago it was already considered and on the way…:
We have a feature report aimed to include the ability to display past events using the [tribe_events] shortcode, so I’ve added this forum thread to the report which helps increase attention on the matter.
So, 3 months later, how are we looking?
Thanks
Hi Geoff,
Thanks for this. A bit confusing as your other customer has stated that the binary option should equal 0
<taxonomies>
<taxonomy translate=”0″>tribe_events_cat</taxonomy>
</taxonomies>But you’ve said above that it should =”1″
Anyway, I tried it =”0″, along with all the other WPML troubleshooting option/clears you recommended, and the good news it seems to have worked – for the most part.
So now the categories work. But once you click on an Event Calendar taxonomy that we have told WPML to not translate… the language switcher button disappears once you’re in the category. Presumably because we’re telling WPML “don’t translate this type of category”.
Check it out:

What do you think? Cheers Greg.
PS> In general, I’d like to show you this email from our client today, so that you can pass it on to your management for a feel of how our clients are feeling about Tribe Events Calendar right now. (background – I have explained to them that it was fixed before, but is now broken again because WPML changed their code and Tribe haven’t been able to handle that despite knowing about the problem for months and months)
===========
Hi,
I understand that it’s a real bugbear for everyone including you Greg, who are having to deal with all the fixes.
But may I just ask if this risks being a permanent recurrent problem, i.e. each time one or the other developer brings out an update it causes the other to malfunction? The calendar in languages other than English has never worked properly from the outset and there has been an excessive amount of time spent on trying to fix it over the past year to no avail! It just seems to be a never-ending issue.
Is there any long-term solution? Could we possibly even consider changing the plugin? Or any other suggestion? We certainly can’t carry on like this as It’s sending us all crazy (administrators, site users and I’m sure you too)!
Best

OK guys – 2 months on and still broken.
The workaround given is not working on most of our sites. Although it works on our parent site, for some reason.
I have set the WPML Theme and plugins localization setting to “Translate the theme and plugins using WPML’s String Translation only (don’t load .mo files)”
It doesn’t work. The category URL is still /categorie/ – and we get a 404 error. Example:
http://cpmr-atlantic.org/fr/events/categorie/politique-general/
This error has now persisted for over a year. Our clients are running out of patience with us, and understandably so. It’s really not good enough.
How’s that high-level communication with WPML coming along? Because at the moment, The Events Calendar doesn’t work with WPML on a pretty fundamental (taxonomy) level.
Please advise ASAP. Thank you.
Running 4.4.4 this issue is back.

Hi Geoff, Barry,
A month down the line, just wondering what the latest on this is please, and also this:
Our client is still having to hit Update 3 times before the french venue “sticks” and actually saves.
Thanks
Greg
