Event Calendar won't show on Page properly

I’m setting up a new calendar page http://dev-scc.co.uk/events-calendar-new/ and the EE calendar will show fine in a full-width content section when I add the shortcade. However when I try and add the same, in a text box, a) I can’t see text mode in the builder as it conflicts with EE and b) it partially works as it shows the filter controls and not the calendar. I suspect its a JS issue (but not knowing any JS I can’t figure this out)

I’ve tried to add the calendar via a widget in the Psion builder that comes with the Theme, but this doesn’t work either.

How can I get the calendar that does appear on this page, to work in a column and not full-width?

Hi there,

a) I can’t see text mode in the builder as it conflicts with EE

When you say it conflicts, what actually happens?

b) it partially works as it shows the filter controls and not the calendar. I suspect its a JS issue (but not knowing any JS I can’t figure this out)

EE doesn’t officially support page builders, whats happening is the calendar shortcode is parsing, but the code used to check for the EE calendar before loading all of its assets can’t see the calendar shortcode, so it doesn’t load.

You can work around that using this snippet:

Add that to a custom functions plugin on the site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Theres one change you will need to make, on line 7, either remove && is_page( 'calendar' ) or set the page slug to match your page.
