Calendar not showing any events

Hi folks,

I’ve created two events for March 1 and April 1, but they are not showing up in the calendar. I’ve looked for javascript errors and followed the troubleshooting steps, but have come up empty.

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

WordPress: 4.1
EE Version: 3.3
Events Calendar: http://pghfitcouncil.staging.wpengine.com/events-calendar/
Events: http://pghfitcouncil.staging.wpengine.com/events/

Thanks in advance!

Correction, I meant EE 3.1.36.6.

There also appears to be a bug in the calendar add-on in that it cuts off 1-2 characters from the “Registration Start” value. For example, if I set the “Registration Start” to January 18, 2015 and save it, it will display January 18, 201. Notice the “5” is missing.

I’m using 2.2.6 of the calendar add-on.

Bug, known issue…something I’m doing wrong?

Hi Damon,

Can you post up the dates and times used for both the Registration Dates/Times and the Event Dates/Times within one of your events, say the March event for now?

If you prefer to post a screenshot thats also fine, although you will need to hot the image and post the link here, or use a service/app such as monosnap.com (which is what both I and @dean use for screenshots)

For example, this is the information needed – http://take.ms/0P3ih

Hi Tony,

Sure, here are screenshots that show the event listing page and the event date/times for both events. The missing “5” on “2015” is not a typo. After I save the event, it strips it.

Hi Damon, could you adjust the formatting of the dates that are used? Here is an example:

Also, a datepicker should appear as shown in the screenshot above. That will also use the correct formatting.

Be sure to save changes to your event after adjusting the formatting of the event dates.

Hi Lorenzo,

I think I discovered the problem. It seems the theme I’m using, Elision, is overriding the default date/time picker. Do you know of any way that I could override it or what date/time picker you are using so I could see if I could hack the code?

Here’s a link to the date/time picker the way it shows up to me in the Elision theme.

If I use the twentyfourteen theme, it shows up like the one you posted.

I’ve resolved the issue. The date/time picker is used in the Elision WordPress theme and the Calendar plugin. Unfortunately, the date format is hard coded in the Elision theme and overrides the format for the Calendar plugin.

As a result, the dates aren’t showing up properly in Event Espresso and that also prevents them from showing up properly on the calendar.

The problem seems to come from the hard coded value of:

$j( ".datepicker" ).datepicker( { dateFormat: "MM dd, yy" });

This is found in the following file within the Elision theme:
elision/js/admin/default.js

Commenting it out fixed the problem.
