I’m having this issue and I’d like to be notified of responses to this thread.
Thanks.

Barry, thanks for all your thoughts. My client has decided to go with the monthly view (which works with the old snippet of code). They don’t want to spend the time and money to try to straighten this out. I’ll throw it up on the UserVoice page to see if anyone has the same need, maybe it’ll be added as a feature in future releases.
Thanks,
Dave

Barry, before I set up a test WP site, maybe we can come at this from another angle. When I built the site I used the old snippet of code that I got from your company’s support. With a little guidance from your techs we got it working exactly as we wanted. Then recently your plugins were updated and this function stopped working. Is it possible to tweak the original code to get it working again?

Basically we want a specific “category” to show as a list view. I can get all of the events to list via this link http://www.heartwoodcenter.com/events/list and this is exactly what we’d like but only list one particular category, in our case the category would be “classes”. Even if we had to hard code this to work with only the Classes category that would be okay.

Any thoughts? It seems a reasonable feature for your plugin to have, no?

Barry, thanks for working with me on this. Actually I’m Dave (Terri’s web designer). You were right, I tried your code, then switched back to what I had originally when it didn’t work. But I’ve set it up again as you asked and also pasted my CHILD theme’s function.php contents to Pastebin. Have a look. http://pastebin.com/r6C39G9V

My page http://www.heartwoodcenter.com/events/category/classes does not redirect to http://www.heartwoodcenter.com/events/category/classes/list

Also, when I add the /list to the end of my URL http://www.heartwoodcenter.com/events/category/classes I get the same message “No matching events listed under Classes. Please try viewing the full calendar for a complete list of events.”

Let me know where we go from here.
Thanks!

I tried to use the new snippet in place of my old one in the child’s function.php file, but no luck, same issue. Is there anything else we can try?
Thanks.

[Stacey]

Thanks Brian. Then my question is how do I set up a URL to only show UPCOMING EVENTS for one particular recurring event?

[Stacey]

Thanks for trying George, but the revised code had no affect. If you have any other ideas I’d love to hear them. For now I’ve removed the shortcodes from the calendar events, the calendar now works correctly, albeit without the teacher bios that was attached via the shortcode.
If you don’t have any other ideas you can marked this as closed. I’ll live with it.
Thanks,
Dave

George, any ideas of how to resolve my problem? We’re anxious to get this fixed, the site is supposed to go live tomorrow or Thursday. Let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to help out.
Thanks,
Dave

George, thanks for your assistance on this.

1. First of all, this is a new install. My client who purchased your plugin is getting a facelift to their site. We installed a fresh install of WordPress and are using this as our beta site until we go live with it. I moved over the plugins from the old site. I can’t be sure, but I believe the problem was from the beginning.

2. I don’t believe their are any customizations. How can I be sure? Is there a way of getting fresh copys of Event Calendar and Event Caldendar Pro?

3. I started to go through the trouble shooter tutorial (used the twenty thirteen theme, no help, disabled the plugins, big help!). I found that the glitch happens when one particular plugin is enabled. It’s called “Display Posts Shortcode”, their website is at http://www.billerickson.net/shortcode-to-display-posts/

This is a crucial plugin for our site, it’s basically a way to drop in a shortcode to display a specific list of posts to any page we want. One way we’re using it is to add a teacher’s bio to a class (event). The teacher bios are a custom post type. The plugin works beautifully except it’s screwing up the monthly calendar.

IF I remove the shortcode from the class (event) then the class show’s correctly on the monthly grid. Here’s the shortcode that’s being used.

[display-posts post_type=”practitioners” include_content=”true” display-posts wrapper=”div” image_size=”full” id=”8093,8301″ order=”ASC” orderby=”name”]

Do you think we can find a work around? This is really import to work. I searched the forum and didn’t find any one having the same issue. I looked at the plugin’s page and didn’t find any ideas. Here is the code that makes up the plugin: http://pastebin.com/AD3JhYSR

Right now I have the plugin turned on.
Thanks for your help!
Dave

Wonder of wonders that seemed to do the trick! Thanks Brian, I think I’m all set for now.

Brian, as an experiment I added the snippet to the functions.php file in the PARENT theme and I got the exact same error.

[Stacey]

Thanks for looking into this Brian. Could the problem be that I’m working off of a child theme? Currently my functions.php file in the child theme is just this, a bunch of comments:

<?php
/*————————————————————
Add your child theme custom functions below.
This file does not replace the parent theme’s function file.
It is loaded in addition to the parent theme’s functions file.
————————————————————*/
?>

Will your snippet only work in the parent theme? I’d rather not do that because if the theme gets updated down the road I’ll lose the snippet.

On the parent theme, line 17 is:
require_once ($includes_path . ‘theme-functions.php’); // Custom theme functions

Thoughts?

[Stacey]

Barry, we just installed the new update for the plugins and see that there’s a new option to set the “Month view events per day”, this is exactly what we needed! Thanks for setting that up. There is still one minor issue, clicking on the date number in the monthly view is still giving us the 404 page. If you can give me any more ideas on how to resolve that then we’ll be all set.

[Stacey]

Barry, thanks for helping with this. I have done as you asked and there was no change. I then tried setting the permalinks to “default” and that didn’t help either. I put it back to the way it was and we’re still having the same issue. Any other thoughts? If I could set the event count to higher than three that would be ideal, since we normally don’t have more than 4 events on a particular day. Is there a way to always display ALL events, that would solve our problem if we could get rid of the “View all 4” link altogether.
