Wrong dates in events page title

Hello @mrmatteastwood,

Thanks for getting in touch with us.

The issue with the title tag was fixed in an older release – https://theeventscalendar.com/release-notes/the-events-calendar/the-events-calendar-6-1-0/. Please update our plugin to their latest version.

Regarding translation, I’ll ask my team and will circle back to you.

Hang in there.

Hey Frank, thanks for your reply ?? I’m on version 6.3.2 of TEC, which is the latest version according to https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/the-events-calendar/. I tried disabling and re-enabling the plugin as well as disabling other plugins, to no avail. Is there anything else I could try?

Hello @mrmatteastwood,

Thanks for your reply.

I suspect there’s a conflict that’s causing the issue here. It would be good to test for conflicts. Could you follow the following steps?

1. Deactivate all other plugins except for The Events Calendar Plugins.
2. Switching to the Default theme.

Please read the Testing for Conflicts article before doing anything. 

To be safe, we’d recommend conducting tests and updates on a Staging Server. Also, please keep a working backup of your website.

I hope that helps.

Hi Frank!

I’m afraid the issue persists even when I disable all plugins and switch to the Twenty Twenty Four theme. Here’s a screenshot of all the plugins I have, with them being disabled:

And a video I took after disabling the Bricks theme as well:

Same result.

Hello @mrmatteastwood,

Thanks for your reply.

I will ask the team to look further into the issue.

To translate that section, we recommend using Loco Translate – https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/managing-translations-with-loco-translate/

Once you have it, search for the string %1$s from %2$s and fill the German box – https://share.zight.com/RBukYrPW.

The placeholder:

%1$s will be replaced automatically for the Event slug in plural
%2$s will be replaced automatically by the Event Date range

I hope that helps.

Hello @mrmatteastwood,

I’m glad you brought this to our attention, I can see how this issue impacts your ability to see the event title tags properly.

There’s an internal ticket TEC-4845 to address this issue and I’ve included your specific use case in it to communicate it to our team.

We prioritize bugs by taking into consideration the number of users impacted as well as how the bug impacts one’s ability to run an event/sell tickets. I don’t have a specific timeline as to when this issue will be resolved, but trust that our team is aware. Our team communicates updates and bug fixes in our newsletter and via our changelog.

In the meantime, here’s a workaround for what you’re looking to do:

• Changing the meta title in calendar view – https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/changing-the-browser-title-for-calendar-views/.
• Try this code:

add_filter( 'tribe_get_events_title', 'tec_temp_fix_title' ); function tec_temp_fix_title ( $title ) { if ( is_single() && tribe_is_event() ) { // For single events, the event title itself is required $title = get_the_title(); } return $title; }

Use code snippets – https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/best-practices-for-implementing-custom-code-snippets/.

I’m happy to help if any other questions are coming up around this topic, otherwise I’ll go ahead and close this ticket.

Thanks again for reporting this issue and for using The Events Calendar! Have a great day.

Thanks Frank! I’m Using WPCodeBox2 on my projects and I entered the snippet:

I’m afraid the result remains unchanged. I have no real knowledge of PHP, so I might be doing something wrong, but looking into it with a couple of web developer friends didn’t help either unfortunately.

Hi @mrmatteastwood

If you’re not familiar with coding, you can use the Code Snippets plugin, which removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme’s functions.php file.

I hope that helps, and let me know if you have further concerns.
