Events page shows "Archives" instead

We are seeing an issue where our Event listing is showing an Archives view instead.

You can see that page here: https://www.combatcon.com/events/

I have validated that the events slug on the Event Espresso – Events > Templates setting page is correctly set to “events”.

I feel like I’m missing something obvious but I can’t find the proper setting for this. This page isn’t in our primary nav, but people are getting there from the “Return to Events” button on the event added overlay.

I was expecting something similar to the registration page: https://www.combatcon.com/2019-2/registration/

In case it is relevant, we are on EE 4.9.77.p

I’m seeing documentation on how to change the functionality of that button here: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-multiple-event-registration-add-on/#change-list-url

function ee_mer_change_event_list_url(){
	return 'https://yoursite.com/calendar';
}

I might go that way as a workaround. Maybe “Archives” is just what the event page looks like? I could have sworn it didn’t when we first set our site up, but maybe I’m wrong.

Hi,

The word “Archives” is added by your WordPress theme. In this case, the Tyler theme. What you can do is add a tiny code snippet to filter the word “Archives” out and display something else in its place. You can use the example code found here:

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/5244f2e9685b17013122cd2a81a7efa8

You can add the above to a functions plugin.

In case it is relevant, we are on EE 4.9.77.p

It’s not relevant to the issue, but we do recommend updating to the current version of Event Espresso 4. (v4.9.82.p)

The word “Archives” isn’t a button, that particular code snippet is for something else.

I appreciate the quick help. The Tyler Archives page is poorly suited to this user activity, and I’m not good enough to make it look right, so I updated the function to direct the user back to the Registration page per my comment above. It’s an acceptable work-around. Thank you again.
