Change Default Venue in Drop Down

I’m running EE Calendar (Version 3.2.6.p), and have a strange problem.

A seemingly random location is showing up as the default in the dropdown no matter what venue is selected.

The sorting on the calendar itself is correct, but the client and visitors are confused because this one location always shows in the dropdown.

Here’s the page: http://www.baue.com/event-calendar/

Any ideas?

Hi Lance,

What is the exact shortcode that is in use on that page?

Is it using the venue parameter which would pre-select that venue?

The shortcode is just [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR]

Hi Lance,

Are you running any caching plugins?

Or does your host run server side caching?

The dropdown will show a specific venue if ‘event_venue_id’ is set within the request, if the request has been cached it will return the same value each time.

SOLVED!

After clearing caches and doing more extensive testing, I discovered that the venue in question was created without a slug somehow. (Actually, there were 3 without slugs, and this one was the last in the list.)

So, after creating the slugs and re-assigning the events to the venues, all is working perfectly.

I don’t know how that happened (client created them), but I would think slugs would be created automatically from the title, as with posts. Perhaps something to check in the code.

Anyway, thanks for your prompt replies!

Normally those slugs are created automatically. If you check, you’ll find that it’s nearly impossible to delete the slug there as well.
