Events in a category or on a page

Is there something in your theme that is causing this? It looks like on “posts” there is always a date but “pages” there is not? We don’t add anything besides the output of the events so that date is not coming from the plugin.

Also, you are using a shortcode and not just a direct link to the page correct?

And you’re right Nick, generally there are only dates on the posts.
But somehow, on the past events PAGE (using a short code on the page) I get a date.

I have not been successful putting the short code in the menu. I tried using the plugin Shortcodes in Menus. But it’s not tested on WP 4.2.2 and I also could not get it to work.

If you have another suggestion, I’d appreciate it.

If you are comfortable with editing the code you could try changing this line:

https://github.com/pderksen/WP-Google-Calendar-Events/blob/master/google-calendar-events/includes/gce-feed-cpt.php#L43

It sets GCE up to be used as a post type, you could try changing that to 'page'. It’s a longshot and I am not sure if it will work.

You could also always use CSS to hide the date:

#content .post .pretty-date {
display: none;
}

I am assuming this got resolved since there has not been a reply here. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

Thanks!

Thanks for the poke. I like to close the loop in case my experience is helpful to others. And I just forgot.

The display:none was not the fix to the problem but sent me looking in some other directions (so thanks for that)

Here’s what I learned/how I solved the problem:

In general, almost all posts carry the “pretty-date”
The Appearances calendar link in top nav is a catetory .. not a page or post.

SO
I added the gcal code to a POST with the category Past Events

I added ‘past-events’ to category.php

<?php if(!is_category(array('articles', 'interviews-and-profiles', 'reviews', 'video-media', 'media', 'past-events'))) { ?>
	<div class="pretty-date"><span>
        <?php the_time('d'); ?></span>
	<span><?php the_time('M'); ?></span>
	</div>
<?php } ?>

Then I added the CATEGORY of past-events to the menu.

Good by Pretty Date!
