No way to group calendars

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

In regards to your question here, as for Grouped Calendars, you need to first create calendars from the backend under Calendars > Add New section within your WordPress dashboard. Once this is done, you should be in a position to select the calendars you create from the “Get Calendars From” field.

I hope this information helps.

Kind Regards,

John

Yes, I did that. The dropdown field to select calendars doesn’t drop down. Do I need a particular version of PHP? I’m running 7.4.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, it should work even with PHP 7.4. Could you kindly ensure that your calendars are not in draft mode.

In addition, please try disabling all other plugins that you have in place and check whether the issue still exists. If not, activate the plugins one by one to identify the conflicting plugin.

Let us know how it goes.

Kind Regards,

John

Thank you, John. I will work on chasing things down over the weekend. Tied up with dental & other stuff next 3 days.

Hi there,

Thanks for the update.

We look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards,

John

Hi Jon,

I disabled all plugins except Simple Calendar. On “inspect” of the admin page for Simple Calendar (Chrome), the following error is being thrown x 4:

Incorrect use of <label for=FORM_ELEMENT><label for=”FORM_ELEMENT”></label>

The label’s?for?attribute doesn’t match any element?id. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form and accessibility tools from working correctly. To fix this issue, make sure the label’s?for?attribute references the correct?id?of a form field.

There are 4 instances of a “Violating node”:

1. <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbless_action”>Event Bubbles</label>”
2. <label for=”_default_calendar_list_grouped_span”>Span</label> == $0″
3. <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbless_action”>Expand Multi-day Events</label> == $0″
4. <label for=”_calendar_timezone_setting”>Timezone</label> == $0″

Do I need to edit the plugin and assign formfield ids to something?

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, I can see that you currently have other plugins active. Could you kindly disable them and share with us a link to the grouped calendar itself.

I look forward to your reply.

Kind Regards,

John

Sorry, didn’t hear from you for a few days and the client was getting ansy so I re-enabled them.

They are disabled again. You can see the grouped calendar on the left sidebar on all but the front page, and one of the feeder calendars here: https://astronomycamp.info/calendar/astronomy-events-feeder/. Of course, I was unable to choose a feeder for the grouped calendar since that drop-down box doesn’t drop down.

Running latest versions of WordPress & Simple Calendar.

Hi there,

Thanks for carrying that out.

In this case, unfortunately we are yet to replicate this issue. I have informed the lead team to look into this. I will keep you posted for any updates about this.

Kind Regards,

Hi John,

Thank you for the follow-up. Don’t know that it should make a difference, but the site is using the Customizr Pro theme from PressCustomizer.com, and php 7.4. When I have time I will see about deleting all the calendars and starting from scratch. Years ago on another site I first set up a calendar with google calendar then later tried to switch to a group calendar. Same type of error — no dropdown on the group calendar configuration. Can’t remember why I deleted all the calendars (frustration, likely) but on the second go-around starting with a grouped calendar, it worked.

Thanks again for the help, and for a very nice plugin.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, could you kindly try switching your theme to a default theme such as the Twenty Twenty One theme and check whether the issue still exists.

Let us know how it goes.

Kind Regards,

John

Enabled Twenty-Twenty-Three. Still no dropdown to enable grouping.

Still getting the error (on element inspect):

1. A form field element should have an id or name attribute
   1. A form field element has neither an?id?nor a?name?attribute. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form.To fix this issue, add a unique?id?or?name?attribute to a form field. This is not strictly needed, but still recommended even if you have an autocomplete attribute on the same element.

1. Incorrect use of <label for=”FORM_ELEMENT”></label>
   1. The label’s?for?attribute doesn’t match any element?id. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form and accessibility tools from working correctly.To fix this issue, make sure the label’s?for?attribute references the correct?id?of a form field.
   2. AFFECTED RESOURCES
      1. 4 resources

So it seems that Chrome can’t find the options for the grouped calendar drop-down. I have drop-downs for other parts of the site (not from Simple Calendar) that work.

Thank you for taking a look at this. I am totally stumped.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In regards to the issue here, our team is still looking into this but we are yet to replicate the issue. In the meantime, could you kindly try installing WordPress in a fresh install within a subdomain and install only the Simple Calendar plugin. Once this is done, check whether the issue is replicable. Also ensure that you test this in incognito mode.

Let us know how it goes.

Kind Regards,

John

I’m pretty tied up this week but will see what I can do. Thank you for keeping on this. It’s very puzzling. This is the only calendar plugin I’ve tried, so there should be no interference with anything else. Give me 3-10 days to work on this; I’ll be tied up solid for this coming weekend and a few days before.

Hi there,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us.

In this case, no problem. Please do let us know once you have the test carried out.

Kind Regards,

John
