[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Event Calendar not posting / publishing any events

Hi there fr0gger03. Thanks for the note here, and for reporting this issue. So you’re saying that with no change beyond reverting to the 2011 theme, you can get this functional?

I would have suggested that, on your child theme linked to above, the events calendar may have just had its slug changed away from /events (which as a result would mean the calendar no longer lived there). Is that possible? If not, any luck changing the template (under Events -> Settings, in the Template tab) and resaving permalinks to see if the issue is cleared up? Let me know if that doesn’t yield anything and I can try to point you in the right direction.

Thanks Rob. I can confirm the default slug is still ‘events’, and changing the template and resting permalinks has no effect.

Hey fr0gger03 – though it’s sounding like this could be specific to your theme have you tried disabling other plugins so that only The Events Calendar is active? Could be worth checking.

I’m having a similar problem using Kaboodle (a WooTheme). The previous version of Kaboodle the calendar view worked fine.

After update the theme the events page (‘events’) reproduces the home page. There’s clearly some type of conflict between the updated theme and the events calendar plugin. Any ideas?

Hey Tracey: thanks for the note. While we can’t guarantee the plugin will integrate with every theme, we want to do what we can and I’d like to help you out to whatever extent possible here…can you provide us with a link to the site so we can check out the issue directly? Can you also confirm that resaving permalinks has no impact? We’ll try and troubleshoot from there.

Thanks for your support and patience so far.

OK, I think I have it narrowed down to functions.php…
1) I am using the plugin Custom Post Type UI to allow the business to create Newsletters.
2) To get these to show up on the home page, I had to create a custom functions.php.
3) If I remove or comment out the functions in my custom functions.php, the Calendar shows correctly – hooray! but then, of course, my customer’s custom posts don’t display as posts on the news page.

This is the content of my functions.php. I would love some help.

‘<?php

add_action( ‘after_setup_theme’, ‘mlgma_theme_setup’,9);

function mlgma_theme_setup(){

/* Add custom filters.

/* add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘include_events_on_home’ );
/* function include_events_on_home( $query ) {
/* if ( is_home() && false == $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] )
/* $query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘tribe_events’, ‘attachment’ ) );
/* return $query;
/* }
*/

add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘mlgma_my_get_posts’ );
function mlgma_my_get_posts( $query ) {
if ( is_home() && false == $query->query_vars[‘suppress_filters’] )
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘Newsletter’, ‘attachment’ ) );
return $query;
}
}
?>’

Roblagatta sorry for the delay.

Here’s the staging site with the new theme ( Kaboodle 1.5.0) that doesn’t work: https://atticusbooks.staging.wpengine.com/events/

Here’s the live site with the older theme (Kaboodle 1.4.14) that works: https://atticusbooksonline.com/events/

The only difference between these 2 sites is the theme version.

I wonder if its because of they “Replace all instances of query_posts() with new WP_Query” on index.php (see changelog below). I had the same trouble with version 1.4.17 and never update to version 1.4.16.
