#_24HENDTIME echoed instead of parsed

i discovered it in a draft post, but those aren’t publicly visible, so I posted a past event since I only have future events which are multiple days and are listed “all day”.

Hi, I’m not able to reproduce this. If you disable all other plugins and revert to the default theme do you still have the same problem?

If you check the link you can see it IS the default theme; twentytwelve…

It worked just fine before the update and I didn’t change anything…

well it’s a child theme, but that doesn’t influence the theme… like I said, it worked perfectly before the update.

I just downgraded to 5.4.1.1 and the problem is gone.
See link above.

Can you paste your entire format? We made a small change to the regex rule to find the placeholders (to make it more reliable!), but I haven’t seen any problems with this yet.

by format, I mean that which is in your formatting tab in your setting page that isn’t working.

I noticed on single event, because that’s where I list the times.
This is the code for it.

<p class="nomargin">
	<strong>Date</strong>: #_EVENTDATES
	{has_time}<br /><strong>Time</strong>: #_24HSTARTTIME - #_24HENDTIME{/has_time}
	{has_location}<br /><strong>Location</strong>:  #_LOCATIONLINK, #_LOCATIONTOWN (#_LOCATIONCOUNTRY){/has_location}
	{has_findhills}<br /><strong>Track info</strong>:<br /><a href="#_ATT{findhills}" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.freerides.org/wp-content/themes/v0.1/images/findhills.png" class="nofx" alt="Find Hills" /></a>{/has_findhills}
</p>
#_EVENTNOTES

someone else had a similar problem, try adding a space between

#_24HENDTIME and {/has_time}

will fix this asap, but the suggestion above should get your placeholders working again in the meantime

that does seem to fix the trick indeed, thanks… but what caused it ? No idea…

btw i want to test if the plugin is activated, but don’t know which function to use (best), like this.

if (function_exists( 'function_name' ))

which function is best to use ?

I made a change to the regex rule in classes/em-event.php and em-location.php in the output function. Was meant to be an improvement… :\

In pro, we use the plugins_loaded action and then run this check:

if(defined('EM_VERSION')){
//EM is active

Basicly I want to have a notice on the top of the site if the events plugin is deactivated because that’s what the site mostly runs on.

now I use this

if ( !function_exists('em_init'))

if (defined('EM_VERSION'))

or

if (!defined('EM_VERSION'))

doesn’t seem to work

Checking for EM_VERSION should work. Where are you running your check? Maybe you’re checking too soon.

after wp_head before the site header.

see my code on https://pastebin.com/KxZg0d65

this is now fixed in the dev version 5.4.2.1, there are a few bugfixes there so upgrading should be safe.
