Hi Kristen,

Your theme is automatically inserting <p> tags into the calendar javascript which breaks the code and causes the calendar to not display:

Try to wrap your ESPRESSO_CALENDAR shortcode with [RAW] [/RAW] tags, so it looks like [RAW][ESPRESSO_CALENDAR][/RAW].

Hi Kristen,

Try adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file.

if ( !is_admin() && function_exists( 'espresso_raw_formatter' ) ){
	remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
	remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
	add_filter('the_content', 'espresso_raw_formatter', 99);
}

If that doesn’t fix the problem, you will need to contact your theme developer to address the issue.

Hey Kristen,

This tends to happen with themeforest themes. There’s a theme function that’s causing all those paragraph tags to be added, and it’s breaking the Calendar’s JavaScript.

Another way that you can fix this is by creating a page template for the calendar. This involves a bit of copying and pasting code from the theme’s page.php template. There areo more details in the calendar troubleshooting section here (under ‘auto p’): https://eventespresso.com/wiki/calendar/#troubleshooting

Basically, the steps are:

1) Copy the theme’s page.php and rename the copy to page-calendar.php

2) Give the template a name:

/*
Template Name: Calendar
*/

Please see this article in the WP codex for more info on custom page templates: http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Custom_Page_Templates

3) In the new template, remove the code that calls the_content() and replace with:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR]'); ?>

then save.

4) Select the Calendar page template in the WordPress page editor and save.

There’s another themeforest theme (striking) that had a very similar issue, and I posted the code for a custom calendar page template for that theme on github here as an example. It may be similar to the one for your theme:
