Calendar appears to be empty after legacy display upgrade.

Hi @vickyweb,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having that issue.

Can you please check if you are using a snippet that modifies the search query in any way? Perhaps you’ve added it in your functions.php file or on a custom plugin?

Some users reported a similar issue when having a snippet similar to the following:

function custom_search_query( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_search() && ! is_admin() ) {
        $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'movies' ) );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_search_query' );

Hi
Thanks for getting back to me.

I have had a look in functions.php and a few other files, but don’t see any custom search query similar to the above. But to make sure, I also swapped the site over to wp default themes Twentytwenty-one and twenty-nineteen, and the calendar is still empty in the front end with both of those themes too.

So I don’t see it being a problem with my theme necessarily.

Any other thoughts please?

Hi,

Thanks for testing that out.

Have you tried disabling all other plugins except The Events Calendar and see if that clears the issue?

We are not able to reproduce the issue on our end, so the next steps for you would be to test for conflicts by following this guide and see if there is a conflict with another plugin.

Hi

It would appear it is the ‘Search Everything’ plugin that it doesn’t like. The calendar loads fine with that plugin disabled.

Hopefully my client can do without it, or I might try an alternative.

Thank you.

Hi!

Great catch! Glad to know you could work it out.

And thanks for letting us know about it. We’ll be doing some improvements in our code that may prevent this conflict from happening in the future.

I have attached this thread to our internal report about this conflict and we’ll let you know when a potential fix is released for you to try.

Best,
Victor
