I used do_shortcode(['ESPRESSO_CALENDAR']) to display the calendar add-on on my home page. I noticed that when I go through each month/day/week using the calendar’s navigation, it takes a second or two to load the events. My issue, though, is the ajax loader is not appearing to demonstrate that the events are loading. I want to be sure the user knows to wait for events to load before clicking to the next month/week/day.
I’ve got the following on my front-page.php above ‘get_header’so the shortcode will work properly in the template. Is there anything else I need to add to my template so it displays the ajax loader?
<?php if ( class_exists( 'EED_Espresso_Calendar' ) ) {
global $is_espresso_calendar;
$is_espresso_calendar = TRUE;
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', array( EED_Espresso_Calendar::instance(), 'calendar_scripts' ) );
if ( EED_Espresso_Calendar::instance()->config()->tooltip->show ) {
add_filter('FHEE_load_qtip', '__return_true' );
}
}?>

You could check to see if it’s an issue where the color of the spinner is the same as the background, where it’s there and not visible. The following CSS will help test:
.ee-spinner{ color:red !important; }

Well, the other issue I’m noticing is the div id="espresso-ajax-loading" isn’t even populated into the HTML for the calendar (on my home page). I can get the ajax loader to show if I insert the shortcode into a WYSIWYG on another page. But it doesn’t show any of the ajax HTML when I use do_shortcode

You probably don’t have the loop in that template then? If that’s the case, the ajax loading div will not be inserted. You can add a version of the loop that doesn’t output actual posts (or use the loop to get the posts to display). Here’s an example of a minimal WordPress loop you can add to the template to get that ajax loading div:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) :
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
endwhile;
endif; ?>

Hmm, I just tried your suggestion but it doesn’t seem like including the loop is enough to get the loader to show with do_shortcode. It only seems to add the ajax loader when I insert the shortcode directly into the content editor. I even tried adding some dummy text into the home page content editor, and had do_shortcode in another part of my template… still didn’t work.
The most ideal situation for me is to keep the content editor hidden since it is not needed on my theme’s home page. Do you think it’s possible to get this working without using that? If not, I may have to settle with inserting the shortcode directly into the editor, since so far that’s the only way the calendar works 100%.

It works when I try it with another theme, so yeah it’s totally possible.

I guess I’m stumped. I’m not sure why I’m not able to populate the ajax with your recommendations. I also have no errors in the console. Here’s the code I have to pull in the calendar in my template (including the code mentioned in the original post above get_header). Let me know if you are able help me further with the info provided.
<?php
wp_enqueue_style(‘fullcalendar’);
wp_enqueue_style(‘espresso_calendar’);
?>
<div class="calendar-home">
<div class="location-text">Filter Events by Location</div>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
endwhile;
endif; ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode('[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR]'); ?>
</div><!--end.calendar-home-->

The kind of info I’d need to be able to help with this would include the full code of the page template. There isn’t any context with what you just posted in the reply. Is that something you can post into a paste bin or gist and link here?

Here is a pastebin entry of my front-page.php template.

It should be working for you, it works when I load up your front-page.php template into my theme:
http://screencast.com/t/VeZbdQ85
What may be happening is the script that loads the video, or something else on that page, is making it so the ajax loader can’t be seen. You could try changing the position and z-index of the spinner to see if that helps, e.g.
#espresso-ajax-loading {
top: 75%;
z-index: 2000;
}

Is there any way I can send you a link to what I’m working on privately?
I’ve done everything from removing my scripts.js to eliminating bits of code from my home template to see what’s breaking the loader… nothing. It really doesn’t seem to be something fixable with CSS. When I view my source code, the ajax HTML isn’t on my home page at all.
Thanks for all of your help so far with this, it’s very much appreciated!

Normally there’s at least a few support tokens purchased before we’ll troubleshoot third party code. You’re welcome to download the theme that has your front-page.php template for the purpose of troubleshooting.

Okay, that’s understandable. Thanks again!
