Neil, I tested all my plugins. None of the plugins affected the double posting or the sidebar showing up. I posted here on the 22nd that it was fixed (no sidebar and no double posting) except for an extra comments form appearing on the event description page. However, today, things have switched! The sidebar is back on the Calendar page below the calendar http://events.stcwdc.org/events/ and I used to have a sidebar on my regular posts pages; now there is none. The event description page is back to having a sidebar at the bottom of the description after the second comments form. Aaaaarrrggghh! Where did one go and where did two come from?
I’ve updated to the new versions and took out the code in the functions.php to include the event posts. I cleared cache and now I get my regular posts but the latest event post is not included. Does the update only include upcoming event posts and not past event posts? Our latest event post was for an event last week.
Back ticks didn’t work this time. Here is the snippit:

In addition to the code at https://gist.github.com/neillmcshea/e02186aa700db743aa41 that you need to add to the functions.php file, you also need to add the following code to your index.php or home.php file of your theme (without the backticks). I put mine just above the start of the loop:
“With trial and error tests over the weekend, I managed to get the second copy of the posting to go away and also the right sidebar. However, I still get a second copy of the comment form and I don’t know where that is coming from.
I added my vote in the UserVoice Forum for this. In order to make the calendar responsive, you will need to convert the HTML table code to CSS styled tables with DIVs so it is flexible. This should also make the calendar more accessible for screen readers who have trouble navigating HTML tables.
I finally got the problem solved for the event title sitting on the left border of the calendar box. I used Firebug to find the CSS line for the URL. I tried styling the a:url but nothing was working. I could only get the first line to indent. Finally, I backed off and just added padding inside the cell so the link moves over and is inside the box.
`.tribe-events-calendar div[id*=”tribe-events-event-“] { padding: 5px 0 0 7px; }`@Andy Thank you! That’s some fancy CSS–I’d have never figured that out myself. Not familiar with the id*, the square brackets and the angle bracket being in the CSS–I guess that is CSS3? I know CSS2 but I think I have to start studying CSS3.
I have the colors fixed for the calendar now thanks to you. Do you have a suggestion for how to get the text of the event in the calendar table cell to fit better in the box (needs more padding on the left)? It is OK on the /events/ page but it is too far to the left in the calendar view on the home page. (http://events.stcwdc.org/) I tried
`tribe-events-calendar td.tribe-events-present div[id*=”tribe-events-daynum-“] > a:link { padding:0.5em;}` but nothing happens. If I add margin:0.5em it just moves the top line over 0.5em. That also affected the text in the /events/ calendar, which was OK before. I don’t want it to affect every calendar; just that one but they all have the same CSS classes.I tried moving my events template into the tribe-events folder and it is still ignored.
@Jonah and @Andy, the approach sounds good. The hard part is “All you need is to figure out the selector that you wish to change.”
1- I’ve tried looking at the templates and the various CSS files–some of which are readable and some of which have the CSS all smushed together on Line 1 trying to figure out what rules the large space between the calendar navigation bar and the bottom of my header. It is about an inch of white space and I’d like to reduce it down to 2 lines. See http://events.stcwdc.org/events/ See also http://events.stcwdc.org/event/stc-wdcb-summer-vision-day-meeting/ (that page has a double posting problem which is being handled in another thread). Except for the Events Calendar pages, my other pages start nicely at the top. I’ve been able to find PHP code in the Events views templates that says do stuff before the calendar but there is no CSS class associated with this for me to tell it not to add so much white space. Where is that?
2- Then I’d like to find what is causing the sidebar to sink below the content. I made a template for the /events page similar to the one I did for the /archives page at http://events.stcwdc.org/archives/ to bring the sidebar up to the top but something in Events Calendar is ignoring it.
3- The last thing I’d like to find, which will probably be easier but I haven’t started looking yet, is to be able to change the teal green used for the iCal button and the current date in the calendar to a color that works better with my site. http://events.stcwdc.org/
Those are the only three fixes I want to make. The first two are the hard ones to figure out what CSS class or template needs to be changed. (Neil is trying to figure out why I’m getting double posting of the events posts in two different formats on the same page.)
Jonah, You can close this thread and keep https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/is-it-possible-to-get-events-posts-included-in-the-rss-feed-for-the-blog/#post-55859 open.
Thanks Jonah. The snippets do get the event posts in the feed but then the regular posts are gone. See http://events.stcwdc.org/feed/
Without the top snippet, I get the regular posts back but no event posts.
I’d like to be able to include both in the feed.I am using a child theme of Twenty Eleven so yes, there are modifications and additions to the css and also in the functions. Some of them have been suggestions from Tribe to fix other problems but most of it is to add functionality to the site. I can send you a copy of the functions file and css, which is long because other plugins require their entire css file be included to make changes (GForms).
I had added some function and css to try to get the sidebar to appear on each page but I am giving up on that because some things just won’t allow it such as the 404 page, Events Calendar pages, etc. So I am now converting to using special templates and template content files for pages I really want the sidebar on for site navigation and accessibility to the calendar widget in the sidebar.
Oops! I just discovered that there is a tribe-events-full.css in the the-events-calendar/resources/ folder and a tribe-events-full.css in the events-calendar-pro/resources/ folder. Which one of these are we supposed to move to the tribe-events folder we create in our child theme to edit?
I am guessing I need to move all views I want to edit from both plugins into the tribe-events folder I create, and then move all the css in the resources folders of both plugins. But some have the same name–how do I know I am editing the correct one? Or should there be a pro and nonpro folder in the theme’s tribe-events folder and we edit both?
