There are many events in calendar but, for some reason, some of them do not show up
Event on November 6 shows fine but event on November 3 does not show.
I compared both postings and they look the same.

Please let me know how to make it visible in calendar.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Could you go to that event in the event editor and make sure that its set to public and active?

Then can you save/update the event through the event editor?

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for your tip, however, I do not see Advanced option and not able to check the status “active”

We use Event Espresso Version 3.1.35.P
and Event Espresso – Calendar Version 2.0.6.2

On the calendar there is a published event on November 3 but it does not show
http://www.otffeo.on.ca/en/learning/otf-connects/calendar/
I compared – Edit both events – November 6 and November 3 but it looks the same.

If I have to upgrade plugins which one should be installed first and what backup should I make before the upgrade.

Thanks for your assistance
Chris Wspanialy

We recommend a full site backup when upgrading any plugins. This includes all of the sites files and the Database. We have a guide to doing this manually here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/how-to-back-up-your-site/

However there are multiple plugins available that will do all of this in one step. Such as:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/backupwordpress/

However you may want to use another, just take a look within the Plugins repo

The Advanced options @Lorenzo mentioned should be within the Event Options in the side bar when editing an event – http://take.ms/Ulwa5

Do you not have those?

Hi Tony,
Yes, I see it now and it looks good so why it is not showing the event on November 3
It has the same options as event on November 6 which shows OK

Thanks

Hi Chris,

I removed your contact information as these support forums are partially public.

Could you backup your site and update to the current version of Event Espresso?

Hi Lorenzo,

We use Event Espresso Version 3.1.35.P
I downloaded the latest version Event Espresso v3.1.36.6.P

There is no option of “upgrade” in WP dashboard.
Do I use just install plugin and choose the new version.
Do I have to deactivate the older after installing the new version.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

You would want to backup your site. Then remove the old versions (including add-ons) and then install the latest versions. We have a guide here:

Hi Lorenzo,

I hope that upgrading Event Espresso will resolve the problem not showing all events in calendar like November 3 or December 1,2,3 and 4
http://www.otffeo.on.ca/en/learning/otf-connects/calendar/

Can you please tell how to make a backup of my current Event Espresso in case I need to go back to it later as explained below?
“If you’re updating from an older version, it’s recommended to make a backup of the old version of Event Espresso and the add on plugins before deleting, in case you need to roll back for any reason.”

Does “deleting” mean deactivating?

We use 2 plugins:
Event Espresso Version 3.1.35.P
Event Espresso – Calendar Version 2.0.6.2

Do I have to deactivate both plugins or just Event Espresso and see if it fixed the problem.

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris,

That version was released in 2013 so that is why we are recommending an update. There have been many fixes since your version:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/change-log/#3.1.35

Please see this resource on backing up WordPress:

Hi Lorenzo,

I am confused about WP and Event Espresso plugin.
Is is enough to backup WP and that would include also all Event Espresso items on Calendar?

I run backup in WP in Dashboard under Tools and DB Backup.
Provider also backup on file level, so I think we have the whole WP backup.

I though there is a separate backup procedure for Event Espresso
Please confirm that after deactivating (deleting) the current version of both Event Espresso and calendar add-on:
Event Espresso Version 3.1.35.P
Event Espresso – Calendar Version 2.0.6.2
and installing new versions all items will still be there in calendar.

Thanks for clarification
Chris

Hi Chris,

Backing up your site is a good practice before making changes. You would want to backup the entire site.

Event Espresso itself does not have a backup feature.

If you aren’t comfortable backing up manually, then there are plugins like Duplicator and BackupBuddy available that can help you with this.

Then you can proceed with a manual upgrade. We don’t expect things to go wrong, so its good to have a backup in these cases.
