I updated to Event Espresso 4.9.36.p. Date picker is still not showing πŸ™

I reported this on an old thread:

Hi there,

The event in your previous thread does not contain a datepicker question so I can’t view what is happening on your site.

Can you re-add the datepicker question to the event so I can check this, please?

My test sites are loading the datepicker question type without any problems so it could be a theme or plugin conflict.

Hello Tony,

I updated event espresso to latest version on the live site now for your viewing: https://events.aspacemanila.com/events/mixer-hackernest-manila-may-2017/

What should I do to show the date picker on the birthday field? (It is set as DATE on the Registration Form admin/backend.)

Cheers πŸ™‚ Hope you can help.

EE is outputting the correct details for that input to use a datepicker but there is no datepicker rendered on the page.

If you temporarily switch to a default theme such as Twenty Seventeen and retest the registration does it work then? (You can switch themes only for admins using the Theme Test Drive plugin)

Hello again! It works alright when I switch to a default theme. Is their anything I should change in the theme file or plugin file to render datepicker?

Please don’t edit core files.

You will likely need to contact the theme author and have them investigate this further as it sounds like the theme is doing something unexpected. However if you’d like to send a copy of the theme over I’ll take a look and see if I can spot anything.

If you can send a link we can use to download the theme to support[at]eventespresso.com I’ll check it out.

I replied directly to your email but replying here in case you have notifications setup.

We do not currently have access to the shared folder, if you could either grant us access or make the directory public I’ll take a look.

Thank you.

I was wrong earlier when I said the datepicker wasn’t rendered to the page, it was but your theme changes the z-index of the page content, which means that when the date picker is shown its z-index was lower than the page content so was actually shown behind.

You can add something like this:

div#ui-datepicker-div {
    z-index: 9999!important;
}

To your child theme to fix that.
