Initially I had set the page to display the calendar in the Events Manager settings. On this test page, I am using the shortcodes to call the events list and the calendar.

OK. What you need to do to get the horizontal blog layout on the home page is:

• Create a new page and select “Frontpage” as the template type.
• Go to Appearance –> Customize –> Static Front Page select the “A static page” radio button. Select the page you just created as the home page.

Your most recent three posts will show up horizontally with their featured images, just like in the theme thumbnail.

Here’s some documentation from the theme author, in case you might find it handy. There are instructions for other aspects of the theme as well: https://sumanshresthaa.com.np/theme/blog64-theme

Image size, in most cases, will be determined by screen size. As of a few years ago, 1920px was considered to be the high end of screen sizes. So, if you wanted to use an image that stretches the entire width of the screen, the largest size you would need is 1920px wide by its relevant height (I round up to 2000px for ease of remembering).

Note that using Photoshop to compress files before uploading them is a great practice for image optimization. You can save a lot of file space and bandwidth by optimizing them in Photoshop.

What role do the users have (administrator, editor, subscriber)? What happens after they log in?

What theme are you using?

Thank you. It does seem to be a plugin conflict, as I tested this on another site with the current theme, and it worked fine. I’ve deactivated all the plugins on the site that’s giving me trouble, and it’s still not letting me add past dates to new events. I am making changes to the event dates directly in the database, and it will show the event as happening in the past, but the date that displays on the front end is still in the future. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d be most grateful! But it’s clear that the problem is not with the Events Manager plugin itself.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was able to resolve the same issue by creating a new bucket in the US General region and my backup worked! I don’t know how I would have figured this out without this thread. ??

Thank you! I did read through the Codex entry before posting, and while it addresses turning auto updates on and off, it doesn’t cover whether you can choose *when* the auto updates run.

It is a single event. I changed the year, and it flips back to 2017 after I type or select the year I want.

Just making sure ?? – the dates on the events are indeed in the future?

If you change the filter to “All Events”, do the events display?

The second dropdown is a category filter, so if you haven’t added any categories, nothing would show up there.

In the dropdown filter box at the top, what is it set to? I can’t get the screenshot to expand.

Hi, I’m having the same issue. Can you share how you resolved it?

Hi! I posted a similar question to the developer and learned that you can hide the form fields by plugging this into your custom CSS:

#the-list tr:nth-child(even){display:none;}

This should achieve at least part of what you’re trying to do. ??

If you’re not planning on needing any navigation/menus, you can also hide the entire nav area by inserting this in your custom CSS:

.site-header-main{
        display:none;
}

What’s going on is that there’s a good deal of padding around the <header> and that part of the white space is the <div> reserved for the main navigation. If you’re comfortable editing CSS, you could try reducing the top padding on the header and the .site-header-main <div>. You can find out what the current padding values are by right clicking on the area and selecting “Inspect Element” (on Chrome. Other browsers have a similar option).

Here’s a visual showing the elements I’m talking about: https://imgur.com/Iy8ajjW
