page title not displaying

Hi brody182,

You’ll need to be more specific. Can you provide a little more context or more examples of what you’re trying to do and what’s going on?

Thanks,
Jonah

what more explanation do you need? if i use is_front_page in my theme it does not display the title.. if i use get_template_part(‘title’); it displays the title twice..

i gave you code examples above.

I do not want to display the title on the home page so i do this : <?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) { the_title(); } ?>

Hi brody182,

is_front_page() or get_template_part(‘title’) are not a functions of our plugin so I’m confused about what this has to do with our plugin. I need a more specific example to be able to understand what you’re talking about otherwise I will not be able to help you.

is_front_page might not be a specific function of your plugin, but the way you display the_title will not work on the /events page if i add is_front_page function to the_title

why don’t you try it

I still don’t understand what you are trying to do because you are not providing me any context or more specific examples. If you can’t do that, I can’t help you.

maybe you’re just playing dumb with me. I don’t know how much clearer i can be.

I currently have a theme that uses the example code below to display the title.
<?php if ( ! is_front_page() ) { the_title(); } ?>

if i go to mywebsite.com/events the title will not display

Hi brody182,

As mentioned in our sticky thread (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/welcome-the-events-calendar-users-read-this-first), we unfortunately are unable to help with with customization, styling or integration issues not caused by bugs with The Events Calendar. You have a few options:

1. Check out our extensive support resources and try to figure it out on your own: https://tri.be/support/ & https://tri.be/support/forums
2. Hire a developer to assist you. We’ve got a list of freelancers who know our code and who we can vouch for. Email us (pro at tri.be) and we’ll pass that list your way.
3. Purchase a Pro license to get more support: https://tri.be/shop/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/. As mentioned in the sticky thread, we can provide both a deeper and more frequent level of support for PRO users.

I hope that helps and good luck!

Cheers,

Hi brody182,

I think the problem here is that the calendar produced by this plugin uses a method of a virtual page. I’m sure I’m not explaining this correctly but the impact is that it will generate a false response to is_front_page().

It may help.

Thanks a lot for the help here, Andy. Your assistance and feedback – as always – is greatly appreciated.

Brody, let us know if this points you in the right direction. Cheers.

stop beating around the bush and see if you can fix your plugin the lack of support for wordpress api is the problem. The fact that you’re using very limited WordPress api calls in your plugin makes it hard to work properly with any template

Hi, Brody. Thanks for the follow-up. As I mentioned in my response to your review, a resolution could be reached here in a much more efficient fashion if we all took a step back and calmed down a bit. I humbly reiterate that request again at this point in time.

It should be clear by the responses above that no fewer than 3 folks – myself and Jonah from the official team, and Andy, who is just volunteering his time – are trying to help you out here. As Andy noted the calendar does create a “page” at /events and the Gist provided should be enough to point you in the right direction on working around that. But from what I can tell what you’ve noted here actually, isn’t a plugin problem…so there isn’t really anything to “fix”. You’re among the first to report it and based on what I’m seeing, the issue is specific to the theme you’re using and not the plugin itself. (Please do let me know if I’m misunderstood here.)

Hope that helps. If you’re still frustrated from there, I’m going to be honest and say it sounds like this relationship might not be a very appropriate fit. The good news is that there are a number of quality calendaring plugins around, each with a different feature set and level of support, so you should have no problem finding one that better meets your needs. Best of luck!
