Hi Donal,

Was this the same theme that you were using before or is this a different one?

Any links available so we can inspect the page with developer tools?

If you view the source of that page you posted above, you will see a fatal error:
<b>Fatal error</b>: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in <b>/home/doncon5/inboston.dreamhosters.com/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014/content-espresso_events-details.php</b> on line <b>22</b>

Looks like your theme may be doing something strange to the global $post variable, therefore causing an endless loop.

Hi Donal,

We would need to know exactly what the theme is doing to the global $post variable to know how to fix. This is only a guess, but if the theme is messing up the main query you could try adding this to the theme’s functions.php file as a work around:

function callback_that_does_nothing( $WP_Query ) {
    return $WP_Query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'callback_that_does_nothing', 8 );

Hi Donal,

Increasing the available memory doesn’t fix the underlying issue, which is the theme isn’t written to WordPress coding standards. If we can take a look at the theme’s code and, if we can figure out what it’s doing, suggest workarounds. (We don’t have access to this theme, so you can send us a copy via our support@eventespresso.com email address.)

Hi Donal,

I loaded up the Razor theme on a test site and looked through its functions and it looks like the function that’s causing the issues you are seeing is the “the_content_filter” function. I can’t verify this exactly because I was seeing slightly different results when I tested it(the event details didn’t repeat over and over, but the page crashed where event details would normally be displayed). When I disabled the “the_content_filter” function the event content displayed on a page without getting hung up or crashing.

Here’s a function that will disable “the_content_filter” for Event Espresso posts only that you can add to a custom snippet plugin

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'remove_razors_content_filters' );
function remove_razors_content_filters() {
    global $post_type;
    if ( $post_type == 'espresso_events' ) {
        remove_filter( 'the_content', 'the_content_filter', 1 );
    }
}

If the above works for you as well, it would be good to check with the theme developer and ask them what their “the_content_filter” is intended to do, and let them know that removing it fixes the issue. Maybe they can make some adjustments to it so it doesn’t need to be removed in order to display custom post content like events.

Hi Donal,

Event Espresso uses example.com/events/ for the default event list page. If you would like to show events on a different page, then take a look at at some shortcode examples for [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] in WordPress admin –> Event Espresso –> Help & Support.

The code that Josh shared should not be added to a WordPress page. Rather it should be added to a custom plugin. I’ve gone ahead and created one for you.

Please take a look at this page to understand what a custom plugin is:

http://ottopress.com/2011/creating-a-site-specific-snippets-plugin/

Then upload this file to your WordPress plugins folder (wp-content/plugins/):

Single events will fall under the default /events/ page. Here is an example:

mywebsite.com/events/my-new-event/

If you would like to change the slug from events to something else, then you can use something like this:

add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Register_CPTs__register_CPT__rewrite', 'my_custom_event_slug', 10, 2 );
function my_custom_event_slug( $slug, $post_type ) {
	if ( $post_type == 'espresso_events' ) {
		$custom_slug = array( 'slug' => 'workshops' );
		return $custom_slug;
	}
	return $slug;
}

The function above changes it from events to workshops. You can copy and paste the example above into the plugin file that I shared earlier. Then change the word workshops to something else.

The events list page and single events page are “virtual.” Then aren’t pages in WP-admin –> Pages.

See this article for options on customizing the Event Espresso 4:
