Countdown shortcode display “(On time)”

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out.

That’s odd. It looks like this is part of the title. The first thing I’d test is disabling all custom coding, which you mentioned that you did already.

Do you have a test site? I’d like to see how it works with all custom coding disabled and the 2020 (or rookie) theme enabled.

Another thing to test just to be sure is if the title of that event doesn’t have the event status. Maybe it was added by a plugin and you didn’t notice.

Thanks!

Hi Roch,

Thank you. It’s very odd isn’t it?

Here’s a staging site with 2020 and all plugins disabled except SportsPress. On the production site we’re using the Classic Editor plugin but this is Gutenberg. I can’t see anything relating to this in the Console but I’m not an expert.

The events all just have the “team [separator] team” format as their titles. Even if I delete a match, whichever event/match is next up, the “(On time)” still appears in the countdown.

The shortcode used is:

[countdown show_venue=”0″ show_league=”1″ align=”none”]

Thank you!

I should add that I also tried the same shortcode in a new post so that it wouldn’t have any leftover code from page builders or whatever, and the same thing happened:

Hello.
One solution, use the following plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/real-time-find-and-replace/

Another solution is to copy countdown.php from Sportspress/templates to child-theme/sportspress/ and change the line 141 from:
<?php echo $title.' ('.$statuses[ $sp_status ].')'; ?>
to:
<?php echo $title; ?>

Thanks,

Thanks Savvas, I’ve done that on the live site and it works fine.

If it would be helpful for you to work out why this was happening, in case it’s a bug affecting other sites, I’d be happy to give someone from Themeboy access to my staging site. It only started in the last week or two but I don’t think there was a SportsPress update in that time.

Thanks Plou – I’ll keep that plugin in my back pocket for the future ??

Hi there!

I’m glad it’s resolved.

By how the description of how to solve the problem this is actually by design now. So you need this customization to remove in case you don’t want it.

Thanks!
