[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Conflict with post category named "05"

  • An odd conflict found is if you name a category name and slug “05” as in zero five it will cause any post using that category to show up as an event with a January 1970 date even if it has not been chosen to be an event.

    I have since named the category a different name to alleviate this.

    I figure it’s to do with some unix name conflict with the plugin. Just curious if anyone knows why.

    Category name and slug combination that didn’t work:

    05
    005
    0005 etc.

    However, using 15, 25, etc. work fine.

    Also 05 Map (name) with 05-map (slug) works fine.

    I’m sure others won’t ever have this issue but thought I’d post in case anyone else runs into this.

  • jeah, ihad something similar:

    somehow the plugin “The Events Calendar” was messing up my category-views and selects, because i had the same category names in different structures (but not the same slug)

    something like:

    • topcat1
    • subcat1
    • subcat2
    • topcat2
    • subcat1
    • subcat2

    as soon as i changed the categorynames to something unique, the problems were gone…
