No events to display

Hmm. Completely deleted the old calendar events feeds and created two new ones from scratch. Same result. “No events to display.”

I had trouble with this update as well. I found that I had to change the “Number of Events per Page” from DAYS to EVENTS, because it defaulted to 7 days and I didn’t have any events until 2 weeks later.

I also needed to check all the Feed ID’s because some didn’t change. Other than that, a little bit of CSS needed to be tweaked and it’s OK now. But wow, frustrating update!

Yes I agree. When a plugin changes this much, there must be a way to flag it for immediate attention!

Anyway, thanks for your comment here. I already have “Number of Events per Page” set to 100 Events, and I have the Feed IDs correct, and my Google feed still validates.

But “No events to display” is still all I’m getting. Hmm.

Did you get this working yet?

What are your other settings like minimum start and max start?

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your question. No, still not working.

Min and max dates are set, one feed goes forward three years and back zero, and the other feed back three years and forward zero.

Please update to the newest version. It looks like you are running 2.0.7 still. You need to be on at least 2.1.0 for the API changes.

We recommend you always stay up to date with the latest version. Once you have updated please let me know if you are still having any issues.

Thanks

Thanks Nick. It’s odd that the updater plugin didn’t do the honors, but just updated manually to version 2.1.3.

I could then see the option to paste in the Google API key, which I did.

I then double checked everything and reduced the cache to 3 seconds for both feeds, and cleared the caches. But alas still getting “No events to display” for both.

I’m not a WP newbie, or a tech newbie come to that. Don’t know why I mention that as still likely PEBCAK. Thanks for your help here.

Can you link me to the page so I can check it out?

The URL hasn’t changed Nick, it’s still:

https://www.eulerpartners.com/events/

When I was working on getting my “Past Events” section to work, I was baffled by no events showing up. Eventually I figured out that what the plugin was trying to display was June, 2015, and there really weren’t any entered into the calendar yet. I had to do a lot of fudging to get things to work right. The plugin does seem to have become finicky under the new Google regime.

Could you make a test page that doesn’t appear in the menu? There’s a plugin that makes that quite easy — called “Exclude Pages from Navigation.”

Also GCE allows you to duplicate a feed.

Thanks aparente001. I can create a test page of course, but what’s the test?

Your original post said you were getting “No events to display” for both shortcodes at https://www.eulerpartners.com/events. But when I visit that page, I see “APOLOGIES: WE ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH THE CALENDAR PLUGIN RIGHT NOW AND EVENTS AREN’T DISPLAYING. WE HOPE TO FIND A FIX IN THE NEXT DAY OR THREE.” I understand — I had to do something similar on my site.

We’ll be able to see your results if you send us a link to a new test page (excluded from navigation) that has the short codes included.

Also, would you mind redoing the first screenshot (it’s very hard to read — maybe it would work better to zoom in a little closer and split it up into multiple screenshots) and also giving us the settings and formatting for feed 29452? What is the difference supposed to be between the two shortcodes? I mean, what’s the difference between the two in terms of how things should look to the visitor?

Have you taken a close look at this? https://wpdocs.philderksen.com/google-calendar-events/getting-started/find-calendar-id/

Aparente001, both feeds are included on the page in question, both resulting in “No events to display.” Just scroll down a bit.

I have no problem using the current page as a test page.

Thanks v much for taking a look at the screenshots. If you follow the owly links and then click the image, you’ll see them full size.

The difference between the two feeds is that one looks back and one looks forward.

And thanks for the hyperlink explaining how to find the calendar id… and that’s exactly what I did.

Thanks — the extra click with the screenshot did the trick and I can read the writing much better now.

Hmm. Your calendar id looks so different from mine. Mine is of the form
(gobbledygook)@group.calendar.google.com
and yours is
[email protected]

I don’t know enough about the plugin or google calendar to know if this is significant.

I don’t have any other ideas offhand about the looking forward part, but for the looking back part — I went through my own conniptions to get this to work on my site. See https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/problems-with-descending-order?replies=1

@psheld,

The API is not returning an error but is also not returning any events for the future calendar. I assume you do have events on the calendar that should be showing up on the future events calendar?

For the past version it is returning events, but I am thinking for that you might need to also adjust your start date offset to match a day in the past or else it will be going from today.
