Strange Issue with Future Date event

  • I have an event on my Calendar on Nov. 6th, 2024. It shows up great, works fine.

    I am trying to add a second event on that same date. It is published, it is in an event Category that is definitely PUBLIC, there is nothing different about it from the first event. However, it will not show up on the front end calendar.

    Oddly if I try scheduling the second event for the following day (Nov 7th), that day actually disappears from my front end calendar. If I try scheduling the second event for the day before (Nov. 5th), oddly, the 6th completely disappears from my calendar. I can also move the second event to ANY other day and it displays fine.

    To add to the weirdness, I DO see both events just as I’d expect to if I goto EVENTS > DESIGN in my WordPress backend. I can put them both on the 6th and they show up just fine. Only the front end has this weird behaviour. I am using the most basic [my_calendar] shortcode to display the calendar on the front end.

    I’ve tried deleting the second event and re-creating it, no luck.

    I’ve tried disabled ALL Hummingbird page caching, and doing it all again, no luck.

    The first event IS part of an event Group, but I can’t see how that would create this issue.

    Any help or guidance would be appreciated. This is a strange one.

    That does, indeed, sound extremely strange. On any of these events, is the checkbox that says “Same Day Event” checked? That checkbox is intended to hide additional days of the same event, but … maybe something strange there?

    Hrm, unfortunately neither of the events has that checkbox checked.

    I’ve since tried Trash-ing those events, deleting them, and then creating completely new events (with different titles in case of a keyword usage or some weird duplicate confusion, etc.). It’s the strangest thing, same behaviour. Scheduling both on the 6th only shows only one of them, moving one of them to the 7th hides the 7th completely, moving one of them to the 5th hides the 6th completely….

    Interestingly, I’ve also tried moving them both to a random date (e.g. Nov 20th) and I get the same pattern – adding to the same day only shows one of the events, adding one to the following day hides it, adding one to the preceding day hides the day of.

    So it’s not date or event specific. It just seems that I can’t add new events that fall within 1 day of each other anymore without this odd behaviour.

    Mind you, I do have 192 existing past events – could this be causing issues somehow?!

    I can’t see a way that having a small number of existing events would make a difference; I have instances with thousands of events that I can’t reproduce the same issue on.

    Can you tell me the exact characteristics of a pair of events that you can’t add? Times, dates, recurring patterns, categories, etc. – anything might be relevant.

    Also, let me know whether the event currently exists on your site; I don’t see it on the events calendar, but I don’t know for sure whether I should, since you mentioned you’d tried a lot of different things, including trashing the events.

    It’s quite interesting to me that you can see them in the back-end, but not the front-end. That would normally suggest a private category; but you’ve already confirmed that isn’t the case. I’m hoping to learn whatever I can to try and reproduce this.

    After more troubleshooting, this surprisingly ended up being a weird CSS conflict with another plugin. Events that immediately followed other events were present, but hidden through CSS. Hope this helps anyone else that bumps into this weird conflict! Thanks for your help nonetheless Joe!
