Events added to blog page

resolved

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know.

Best,

hey but I am still having issues with the Upcoming Events in title on blog loop? None of the fixes I found have worked?

I’m glad to hear this was resolved, but exactly HOW was it resolved? I, too, have checked the appropriate box in settings, but none of my events show up. In fact, the shortcodes don’t even acknowledge any event categories I’ve created. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just a theme conflict?

blujaycreative,

Most likely a theme conflict. I worked with my theme developer to troubleshoot several issues I was having.

First off if your site is in development mode (private), all the event TEC posts will not show up on the front end of your sites blog. The site admin/settings/reading blog/post page must be set to view your blog page.

Secondly, if you have a blog category set to a title of Events or the url is /events/ then the TEC posts may also not show up, even after changing the events calendar settings/url to something other than Events/event as I did changing them to calendar/calendars yet there was still a glitch.

But I went through multiple issues with my theme developer, as well as some code editing of my theme to get it to work as intended. I would go to your theme’s forum/support and ask there for help.

good luck.

Thanks for posting your solution dreamfaction! That is true, WP remembers past URLs and might give you grief if you have a post with a URL the same as a plugin archive, like TEC’s events. Even after you’ve changed it, grief can continue.

Is this still a problem? If so, mind clarifying? I do not think I understand and I worry others in the community might as well.

blujaycreative, using shortcodes to display categories might not work. While our categories are a standard custom wordpress taxonomy, the word Custom might be notable here. Shortcodes do not always support custom ones. If you are having an issue, it might be wise to open a new topic unless you are convinced it is identical to the OP’s.

Cheers!

Well Brook/Bluejay,

The issues I have seen in various locations (forums) and posted by multiple users of TEC is that their in page title bar (Page Titles) not the title tag (or Tab Title) but the actual title within a page/post displays text generated by the TEC plugin (i.e. Upcoming Events, Different Dates: day, month, year or possibly even nothing at all.

In my theme “Avada” an individual page is built via calling several different php files:

Header.php
Navigation.php
Page/Post_template.php
(Content_Area)
Sidebar.php
Footer.php

And disappointingly, TEC does not use the standard post/page.php files of generic WordPress, and was only tested using a generic wordpress theme (twenty-fourteen).

The TEC plugin default templates, are instead broken into various (custom formatted) php files: month.php, day.php, list.php, and single-event.php and single-event-content.php (the last two causing many of these issues), So in order to get these templates to work with your specific theme you will be required to follow their directions to create a new copy of each one causing you an issue and custom code it and any of the multiple css files, to your specific theme’s look, layout and functions, in order to get it to work properly.

Hence, I stopped using their default templates, started with my Theme’s default template, and customized only the files I had to use from their files, created a 1 merged css file of all theirs and customized it as well to work with my theme.

But had to get considerable assistance from my theme developer to get each aspect working reasonably well, not perfect, but adequate. But before each theme update, I have to maintain (backup) the custom files manually and reload each time.

Since each Theme is different, the solutions are included in the Theme developers forum for their registered users.

Thanks for the update dream faction.

Good call. We include the setting to use your theme’s styles instead of the “Event Styles” for that very reason. And if anyone viewing this is having trouble finding it, go to WP Admin > Events > Settings > Display and then select “Page Template”, or any other of your theme’s templates, from the template selector drop down.

You can also change the page title through a generic WP snippet like this one, if you need to do so: https://pastebin.com/iSADy8za

I appreciate your detailing the solution for other. Thank you!
