We are a local alumni club, run completely by volunteers; some of us very out of our usual arenas (I\u2019m an attorney, not a developer \uf04a). Recently, the university\u2019s main alumni association decided to host all of the local club\u2019s websites using WordPress. The main association purchased a license, on our behalf, to your GreenGive template, which they installed and control on the backend. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been able to develop a pretty good website, but are having a bit of difficulty with a few of the widgets and elements, including yours. We asked the theme developer for help, but they told us we need to direct our questions to you. We hope that you can help us fix these issues. <\/p>\n
We\u2019ve detailed our questions with screenshots, but please feel free to reach out to me with additional questions.<\/p>\n
Thanks!

The Events Calendar Pro
\nWe use the Events Calendar Pro for the calendar.<\/p>\n
On the Home page (https:\/\/houston-test.aggienetwork.com\/), we used the \u201cList Events\u201d element to show our calendar horizontally across the full page. <\/p>\n
How do we get the events to show with the next upcoming event on the left, and then in order of occurrence? In the \u201cList Events Settings,\u201d there is no way to select the order in which events show. Right now, the event that is farthest away shows first, so the next upcoming events aren\u2019t even on the page. (i.e instead of showing May 1st through May 15th, it shows July 25th through May 23rd.)<\/p>\n
In the \u201cList Events Settings,\u201d there is an \u201corder by\u201d choice, but it only has \u201cLastest Events,\u201d \u201cFeatured Events,\u201d and \u201cRandom Events.\u201d There is no \u201cnext\u201d or \u201cupcoming\u201d events. Is there a way to add now \u201corder by\u201d choices to this \u201cList Events\u201d element? (We tried the WordPress Widget for List Events, but it doesn\u2019t have date or categories as display options, and they show only vertically.)<\/p>\n
Additionally, there is a glitch when showing events that occur on a single day. For some reason, the coding puts the end time in a big box on top of the image. Is there a way to fix that without simply removing the end time? (We really like having an end time.) Evidently, all of the events used in the demo lasted more than a few hours, so this doesn\u2019t show up on the demo pages.<\/p>\n
And is there a way to show not show the page text under the Event Title? The element has only a very limited number of options, so we\u2019re hoping y\u2019all might have a version that is more robust that we just haven\u2019t found. Or suggestions for fixes\u2026<\/p>\n
OPAL\u2019S RESPONSE
\n1. The Events Calendar Pro
\nAbout your issues, you should ask the support team of the “The Events Calendar” plugin they will help you implement these issues with shortcodes.<\/p>\n
ONGOING ISSUE; NEED RESOLUTION HELP
\nNeither of our issues are with the shortcodes, which we aren\u2019t even using. This is the formatting. Shortcodes are designed to show the info in a list (which is working fine where we\u2019ve used it), not horizontally like this homepage template design. <\/p>\n
As for the time issue, we think it is inheriting info incorrectly.
\nClass=\u201ctribe-event-time\u201d is showing as a maroon box with just the ending time. (see screenshot)
\nWhen you inspect the page, it has inherited a bunch of code from somewhere else, but we can\u2019t figure out where or why.<\/p>\n
No idea how to fix the order issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1534044","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
