Date is Not Displaying on Events Page

Can you provide a URL for us to see this problem?

Have you tried deactivating all other plugins and reverting to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Twelve – and does the problem persist under those conditions?

Hi thejessicapage – do you still need help here? I’m guessing not and will mark this as resolved, but of course please do feel free to post an update if you do still need help.

Thanks!

Hi Barry, I never received an email regarding this reply! I do still need help. I deactivated my theme and your plugin worked fine. I am not sure what in my plugin could be causing the Date to not display. Do you have any suggestions that I could use for troubleshooting this in my plugin? Have you come across this before? I am not sure where to look. I tried unlinking javascript and jquery bt that did not fix it either. Any help would be appreciated!

I know it is our issue with our theme, I am just not sure why or where to look.

Thank you for your time.

*my plugin = theme

Also, for some reason it does not work on my localhost for testing, for some reason when I try to look at an event I get the 404 error. Do you know how I would be able to test on my localhost?

I did try a different theme on the local host and it still gives a 404 error when I try to go to the event page…

Can you provide a URL for us to look at or is this only running in your local environment? If so, and it works with a default theme, I’m not sure there is realistically much more we can do to help. Have you approached the theme author?

Hi Barry! Thank you for your response. I can provide a url: Click Here/
You can see that the Date title shows up but not the date.

Unfortunately I am unable to contact the theme author as he no longer works for the company.

I guess I was hoping you might be able to direct me as far as troubleshooting. If you have encountered anything like this before perhaps you could advise on what may be causing an issue.

I understand if not as this seems to be an issue with my theme rather than your plugin…

Yep, that’s definitely an issue with your theme. Try for instance commenting out this line (line 343 in your theme’s stylesheet):

.byline, .updated { display: none; }

So you would need to make some changes in order to stop that from impacting on event pages and also to preserve its role in other parts of the website. That is, I’m afraid, beyond what we can help you with here on the free support forum but I hope it gets you started in the right direction.

Barry, you are amazing. Thank you so much. Turns out the .updated{display:none;} was the issue. I am not sure what else that may be used for so I will have to run some testing but thank you so much! Yay!

This is just a final note for anyone who may run across this issue. I am not sure why the previous developer used;
.updated{display:none;}
so I decided to create a new style at the bottom of the stylesheet that affects only the events calendar.

This is the code I am using and so far it seems to work:

/*Resolves issue with Date not showing in Events Calendar*/
.tribe-events-date .updated { display:block; }

Excellent, thanks for the update.

If you have a moment it would be great to hear your thoughts on your experience with The Events Calendar so far – it definitely is helpful to us in shaping the direction we’re going in ??
