I am using a php calendar script to display a calendar
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/calendar-test/

Each day on the calendar is generated with an image that contains a dynamic url string – the url string values are based on the calendar day, month, year

<a href="<? bloginfo('home'); ?>/event-results?month=<?php echo $calendar->month() ?>&day=<? echo $number; ?>&year=<?php echo $calendar->year ?>"><?php echo $number ?><img src="<? bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/calendar/images/bg.png" width="25" height="25" /></a>

On a custom template for event results, I query posts based on values of a url string`
```
<?php query_posts( 'category-name=Events&month='.$month.'&day='.$day ); ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <h2><? the_title(); ?></h2>
<? the_content(); ?>
  <?php endwhile;?>
```
The only problem I run into is that none of the links work except the 25th of October ( today ) – however the url strings are correct, so my thoughts are that wordpress is rejecting the url strings for some reason.

Another thing that is weird is the destination ( Event Results ) is not even using the set custom template – I know this for sure because of the error message. It is using index.php as opposed to event-results.php ( Below I have provided complete code for event-results.php )
( visit the calendar and click the 25th to see this work ) can anyone please help.

Thanks,

***event-results.php***
```
<?
/*
Template Name: Event Results
*/
?>
<? get_header(); ?>
<? $month = $_GET['month'] ?>
<? $day = $_GET['day'] ?>
<? $year = $_GET['year'] ?>
<div id="contentWrapper" class="leftRail">
  <? $left=get_option('of_pages_sidebar_position'); ?>
  <? if($left  == 'left'){ get_sidebar(); } ?>
  <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">
  <h1><? echo $month; ?></h1>
  <h2><? echo $day; ?></h2>
  <h3><? echo $year; ?></h3>
  <?php query_posts( 'category-name=Events&month='.$month.'&day='.$day ); ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
  <h2><? the_title(); ?></h2>
  <?php the_date('Y-m-d', '<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>
  <div class="price_menu_meter_list"><? the_content(); ?></div>
  <?php endwhile;?>

  </div>
  <?  $right=get_option('of_pages_sidebar_position'); ?>
  <? if($right == 'right'){ get_sidebar(); } ?>
  <div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<? get_footer(); ?>
```

Is it double installation?

You can access the events where there is a event created and stored in db. Example:
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/?month=October&day=25&year=2011
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/?month=October&day=14&year=2011

You cannot access event for:
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/?month=October&day=”anydate-where-no-event”&year=2011

Also, what is difference between:
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/?month=October&day=25&year=2011
AND
https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/event-results/?month=October&day=25&year=2011

Are they two installations? Kinda messy, am sorry for confusing.

Feel free to login and look:

I am actually creating a fake events calendar by using this php script: https://coreyworrell.com/calendar/ – I have edited the daily output to
1) Contain a transparent png that links to the events page:https://wp-developers.com/jim_test/event-results

2) Pass a string of variables for month, day, year

3) In a custom template for the events-results page – I accept the values and query posts that meet the month, day and year from the string

There is no events db tables – only querying posts by date sent via url string

@cmsdevelopers, I am not sure I have understood this issue. Any other PHP geek can answer you. However,what am I seeing is, the date which has no event created is showing blank. So, I think you edit php code to remove hyperlink for non-event dates.

More details:
https://coreyworrell.com/calendar/documentation.php#custom-events
```
<?php
include 'classes/calendar.php';

$month = isset($_GET['m']) ? $_GET['m'] : NULL;
$year  = isset($_GET['y']) ? $_GET['y'] : NULL;

$calendar = Calendar::factory($month, $year);

$event1 = $calendar->event()
    ->condition('timestamp', strtotime(date('F').' 21, '.date('Y')))
    ->title('Hello All')
    ->output('<a href="https://google.com">Going to Google</a>');

$event2 = $calendar->event()
    ->condition('timestamp', strtotime(date('F').' 21, '.date('Y')))
    ->title('Something Awesome')
    ->output('<a href="https://coreyworrell.com">My Portfolio</a><br />It\'s pretty cool in there.');

$calendar->standard('today')
    ->standard('prev-next')
    ->standard('holidays')
    ->attach($event1)
    ->attach($event2);
```

@samfusion – what you are saying makes however what is weird is that there are no “events” at all – there is no “query to the db” for anything – only the calendar is constructed then I am creating the url string using the generated date in calendar construction.

I then pass the url string to event-results ( which is using a custom template page –> event-results.php ). event-results.php only accepts the url data then query posts from given date ( month, day, year ) –

You can see this working for the 25th: Please see this screen capture: https://screencast.com/t/EDapgLAs1

But why is the an 404 returned on all other dates – even if no post exists the simple echo of url data should show Please see this screen capture: https://screencast.com/t/EDapgLAs1
