Events Calendar – Just upgraded – Broke all images and links

I just had the same experience. The plugin has been great, but this is a real pickle. Stupidly, I did not have a backup. I knew I was going to have to re-do my css modifications, but this is worse. I can’t use the calendar view.

One quick cure (tho far from ideal): switch to event list view, and you don’t get the problem, but there are other issues:

– no lightbox with the additional info and link added with the event-list view
– two events are showing up in the list on the site, but they are not in the calendar in admin and cannot be edited.

I am having the same issue. The only way I found to resolve it (ie restore my graphics) was to check jQuery Extrem Protection in the Events Calendar options page. This disabled the calendar but did restore the graphics. (https://www.exmss.org). I guess we can only hope for an update that fixes this.

Mine just broke as well. I resolved it by showing text only of upcoming events versus the calendar. I hope there is a fix soon!

I’ve also just realised when the events calendar is activated. The comments link for blogs becomes disabled. I’ve just about had enough of this plugin. Grr

You can fix the comments bug by deactivating the events calendar.

This seems to have fixed the broken image problem. I’m not sure what it may have disabled in the process but it’s worth a quick try.

Comment out this line in events-calendar/ec_js.class.php
ecd.jq.preloadImages(“<?php echo EVENTSCALENDARIMAGESURL . ‘/loading.gif’;?>”);

//ecd.jq.preloadImages(“<?php echo EVENTSCALENDARIMAGESURL . ‘/loading.gif’;?>”);

If you are a new version of WP, you should be able to edit the file in wp-admin from https://yourdomain/wp-admin/plugin-editor.php?file=events-calendar/ec_js.class.php

Dave123,

Just started building a site and this was one of the first PI’s I installed. I lost my images, as well.

Don’t know if the plug-in busts anything else I may do down the line, but your fix worked like a champ regarding images on my site. Was just about ready to pull the plug on this when I found your post.

Thanks!

NB! there is a difference between list view and calendar view

And – after trying dave123’s fix – IT WORKS NICELY

I’ve just had this issue too, and like others, this fixes it nicely. The problem is that in the jQuery used in the preloadImages function selects ALL images in the page, not just the ones inside the event calendar.

This fix shouldn’t make anything else break, as all it does is change the image URLs to loading.gif. It just means that the images will appear when they appear, rather than having a progress bar, I prefer it without the progress bar anyway.

dave123, you’re my flipping hero! That was quite possibly the most frustrated I have ever been with WP. Thanks man!

Ever since I upgraded uyesterday I got the image problem which I have been able to fix with Dave’s advice. Nevertheles, I still cannot add new events. The new menu, which seprates add events from the main menu doesnt work. Any advice?

https://my site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=events-calendar#addEventform <– this feature does not work..

I just realized this only happens in IE, not in Firefox. Any ideas?

This is crazy, and yes, it does happen in Firefox. I noticed when I logged on that my events suddenly began showing as a list. I went back into WP to revert back to calendar, and all of a sudden the images began to go grey when the page loaded.

If I change back to list, it solves the problem, but it does not solve MY problem, because I need clients to be able to see my availability into the future.

How does a regular every day WP user solve this problem??
Please help?

I think y’all want the following replacement:


jQuery("img").attr("src", arguments[i]);


to


jQuery(".events-calendar img").attr("src", arguments[i]);


Which will limit the replacement to the contents of the calendar widget, unless I have my CSS selector syntax wrong.

Thanks for the thread, though– would’ve taken me all day to find it otherwise.

Awesomeness. Moxenb’s suggestions fixed the problem for me. ??
