The work-around appears to also be less than trivial to implement and is going to take a while.

I am going to mark this bug report as resolved and then repost it, because www.ads-software.com won’t let me edit the original report (or I am too dense to figure out how to).

There are plug-ins that have similar features. None are exactly alike though and I cannot guess what your particular needs are.

Go to https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/ to search for ‘events list’, you will find dozens of plug-ins.

None of these plug-ins will be compatible with Event List. If you need to keep your existing events, find a plug-in that will import events from a CSV file. Event List events are standard WordPress custom posts, so you should be able to find a plug-in to export them.

When Event List appeared to be in limbo a couple of years back, I compared a few plug-ins for myself. The Events Calendar, Event Organiser, Very Simple Event List and Events Made Easy struck me positively, although the latter has a somewhat unintuitive interface.

Stay away from Event Calendar WD and Calendar, as they can only look ahead 1 month or 99 days respectively (unless that is more than you need).

On the page edit screen, click the cog icon to display a menu on the right of the screen. Then click the Page tab and scroll down. Somewhere near the bottom should be an item called “Shortcode reference”.

This gives you a list of all available shortcodes and sometimes an explanation of what they do.

This appears to be a genuine bug and is also reported here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/blank-events-page-3/

This could be a faulty response by the PHP Compatibility Checker, because it basically says you are not allowed to use the variable $this outside an object, except that is not what Event List appears to do.

In fact the plugin is riddled with the exact same call (i.e. array( &$this, 'CALLABLE' )) and none of these instances trip up the checker.

If this is a bug, the part of the code this line seems to deal with is where you are redirected to after you have created or updated an event. I am not sure what it does exactly though.

Are you sure it was an event and you did not accidentally try to add a post or a page?

It could be that your hosting provider has not enabled the mbstring library, and then you would get this message.

You should change CSS either in the child-theme of your theme (or your theme if it is a theme you wrote yourself) or in the Customizer of your theme: in the admin menu; select Appearance, then Customizer, then go to the Additional CSS field.

(As far as I am aware not all themes necessarily have an Additional CSS field, although it is a WordPress default, but most seem to have one.)

I had a similar issue when I upgraded to 0.8.x, this is how I solved it:

I had a similar issue when I upgraded to 0.8.x, this is how I solved it:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/upgrade-script-doesnt-work/

This is largely correct with 2 exceptions / additions:

1) It wasn’t the last update, but update 0.8.0 from 2018-01-27, and

2) There is a migration script that is supposed to work, but doesn’t always work.

The log from version 0.8.0 says:

“Attention:
The modifications in this versions are huge. This modifications will bring some huge improvements and is a good basis for future improvements (e.g. permalinks).
But inspite of a lot testing it doesn’t eliminate any possibility for some regressions or problems during update process to the new data structure.

Due to this there are some steps you should consider before and after this upgrade:

* have a look at the support forum if there are issues reported with the new version, and wait with the upgrade until these are solved
* if you have a big productive site probably do not upgrade in the first days
* have a look at the PHP error file after upgrade, the upgrade function will write some informations regarding the upgrade process to this file
* check your shortcodes and widget and do the required manual changes provided below
* check your events, the event categories and the event output on the frontpage after the upgrade
* please report problems with the upgrade or issues/regressions after the upgrade in the support forum or on github”

This looks like a genuine bug in the plug-in.

Wordpress has a function called __() (really!) that plugin developers can use to make their text strings translatable.

The Event List plugin uses the string “read more” in three different places; two of these (both in includes/event.php) do not use the __() function, the third does (in sc_event-list.php), but does not add the translation domain, meaning that WordPress will try and fetch a translation from its own translation file, where it cannot find one.

Unfortunately this is not something for which an easy work-around exists.

This is something only the plugin author can fix properly.

I can see your events. Did you solve the issue?

Hi Betay,

To address links within the event content field:

.event-content a {
  color: red;
}

To specifically address read more links is not possible, because there doesn’t seem to be anything to specifically identify them. However you might try the following:

.event-content a[href*="?event_id"] {
  color: green;
}

This will affect links within the event content field that link to an Event List page.
