Event Date is showing as Post Date

    3 years, 7 months ago

    I have been using RSVPMaker successfully for the past 10 months as a web signup form for our organization’s monthly activities.

    I just updated the plugin and WordPress to the latest versions, and now when I add an event using an existing template, the Event Date shows up incorrectly. Instead, it shows the Post Date and Time. (When I click the link to change the timezone, the correct time does appear.)

    The problem shows up even if I have the post in Draft and click Preview, or if I publish the post.

    It seems like this is an issue in the coding? How can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

    I can’t access the preview link you shared. You might want to use something like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/public-post-preview/ to make it shareable, or create an RSVP post for 2022 or something as a demo of the issue.

    Also, if you have access to a database utility like phpMyAdmin, check to make sure you have a table wp_rsvpmaker_event (prefix might be different, depending on your setup)

    columns should be
    event
    post_title
    date
    display_type
    enddate
    timezone
    ts_start
    ts_end

    Let me know if there are missing columns, or the columns are blank. Someone else reported an issue with the db structure not updating properly, which is why I ask.

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the quick response. Here’s a test post: https://speakwelsh.org/rsvpmaker/test-do-not-use/

    Here’s an example of an event I posted previously, when everything was working: https://speakwelsh.org/rsvpmaker/august-2021-siop-siarad-intermediate-1/

    I was able to get into phpMyAdmin and all of the columns you listed are there, although timezone is at the end of the list. (I’m not sure if that’s important.) Interestingly, when I look at the contents of the database I can see all the previous event listings, as well as the new one and the deleted ones. The deleted ones all have NULL as the post_title–and so does the new one I’m trying to set up.

    can you tell me what values are showing in events table, specifically for the ts_start and ts_end fields?

    For both ts_start and ts_end, the Type is showing as int(11); Null = No and Default = 0

    Hi David! It looks like the date is showing up correctly now. Whatever you did to fix it, thank you! ??

    OK, I spoke too soon–the test post looks correct, but when I tried putting up a new event, I was still having the same issue…

    I installed the new update for RSVP Maker that I just saw was available, and everything looks correct. Thanks very much! This is a very useful plugin and I appreciated your help with troubleshooting.

    Okay, good. I just put out another release that fixes a few more bugs.
