The Events Calendar v5.16.2 broke the date picker

Yes, we’re seeing this as well! Hopefully there can be quick turnaround on a fix!

I’m having trouble entering a date string that the system likes. What format can you type in that it will accept?

Thanks!

Hi @aggregatemusic and @esoffron,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I was able to reproduce it locally and when using the Classic Editor and ACF PRO plugin.

I’ll share that with our developers, and we’ll work on a fix for that issue as soon as possible.

Also, I’ve added that thread URL to our bug tracking tool, so we’ll be able to locate that conversation and notify you once we have news about it.

Best Regards!

Same issue here. Whenever I add a date or try to edit the date, it defaults back to 2006. I have tried to manually add “2022” but it switches back to 2010 when I click out of the input box.

I did not follow through with entering the date by typing, but yes…that does not work for me either. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for following up, @gugaalves . I hope the fix arrives relatively quickly, since without a datepicker or manual entry working, I cannot add any new events to my calendar. That will become untenable after about 1 week. ??

I am also experiencing this issue. The date picker does not display and I can’t manually edit the date.

this was previously reported in an earlier thread here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/datepicker-breaks-with-5-16-2/ so just curious why the new thread

Verifying the same issue with ACF Pro.

I reverted back to 5.16.1.1 to fix the problem.

Hello @aggregatemusic,

I can’t say how long it’ll take to be fixed but our developers are already checking that.

Meanwhile, you can revert back to 5.16.1.1, and update it to 5.16.1.3 when it is available.

Thanks, @gugaalves . Where can I find access to the older 5.16.1.1 to revert?

Nevermind, I found it…

Please navigate to https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/the-events-calendar/advanced/ and scroll to the bottom, section “Please select a specific version to download.”

You’ll see a dropdown selector where you can choose any older version!

That same tip applies to any other plugin on the wp.org directory, the plugin page has an “Advanced View” link that leads to the /advanced page.

Thank you!

Hi everyone, apologies for the inconvenience here. As a workaround please revert to the previous version.

We have an internal bug ticket for this created by my colleague @gugaalves, and we have added the case to it. We will definitely pass along the details you guys shared with our dev team.

We don’t have a time estimate, but you’ll be notified with a reply when there are any updates. Rest assured that we are working on a permanent fix in regard to this issue.

I’d keep this thread open and we will notify everyone in this ticket.

Best,
Abz
