Hi! Thanks so much for saving my life with the awesome plugin Events Espresso. I’m having some difficulty and hopefully you can help me out. I downloaded and installed both the event espresso and event calendar plugins into my website. I installed the shortcode [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] into the home page. It should be showing up underneath the heading “Calendar of classes” but it is not. My register for classes is working just fine, but I can’t get this darn shortcode to display my calendar. What should I do? I’ve also installed it on a clean page to rule out any conflicts with surrounding plugins. http://inlandprotitle.com/

This is usually caused by a conflict with the theme, because it is not following the WordPress standards and/or loading JavaScript files properly. The best way to track down the issue is by installing the web developer tools for Firefox or Google Chrome web browsers and look for JavaScript errors. Or ask the theme developer to fix the issue. |

Hi Heather, I just got to a computer so I can look at your particular issue. I can see several MAJOR issues with your theme.
I know it is not what you want to hear, but we have dealt with these issues from theme sold on Themeforest hundreds of times. Your theme is basically broken and will need to be fixed by the theme developer. If the theme developer refuses to fix the problem, then you may have to get Themeforest involved and/or request a refund or find a different theme that follows the WordPress coding standards. If all else fails, you can pay us or another developer to fix these issues with your theme. I hope that helps. |

Thanks so much for the quick and super useful response. I used the [raw] tags and it worked! My calendar is now displaying. I know what you mean about Themeforest. But I try to use my best judgment and try to purchase good quality and good support. I have purchased some really nice themes from that that allow a lonely freelance web designer like myself to offer some awesome features for a low cost. Quality is of upmost importance to me, which I why I also use genesis and I am a huge NEW fan and customer of Event Espresso ๐ I alerted the developer of the theme and I’m sure they will get some fixes out into an updated version.

Thanks for the update Heather, as well as the feedback. Glad to hear the /raw short tag worked. ๐ |
