Hi,

I’m running WP 3.8 and after updating Event Espresso – Calendar to version 2.1 I noticed the following issues:

1) The past events are not shown. This is a frequent request from our users, I can’t find the settings that would allow me to display the past events.

2) Month, week and day buttons are missing. The default settings is a monthly view (which is fine) but there seems to be no way to switch to a weekly or daily view.

3) The month and year are now left-indent. Is there a way to center them, the way it was done in the previous version?

4) The event defined for May 2-4, 2014 is not shown. This was displayed just fine with the previous version.

5) There is 0.5 – 1 seconds delay when switching to next or previous month, event thought there is no data for that month. This happens even when going forth and back showing the same month again. Is there a way to cache the information that was already displayed during the browser session? Is there a way to lazy load the other months (assuming monthly view is selected) so there is no delay when switching to next/previous month view? The previous version did not seem to have this issue.

Thank you,

Jake

Hi Jake,

1) Normally this is done by using the shortcode [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”true”]

2) That’s odd, they should display by default. Have you checked the Calendar Settings > Advanced settings section to see if they are listed (under the Today, Month, Week options – http://d.pr/i/eGNp). If not you could try adding them in or using the reset calendar settings option at the bottom (tick it and save).

3) Got an example of this?

4) Are the dates set up correctly for that event? Is that the only one that isn’t showing? Is it the only event in 2014?

5) To speed up the calendar it loads each month separately, where it used to load ALL the events and then display them. I don’t think there is a lazy load feature, but I will certainly put it forward.

Hi Dean,

1) The issue was resolved by updating the shortcode from [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] to[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”true”]

2) The issue was resolved by updating the Advanced Settings per attached image. Quick feedback here, you should not leave the Advanced Settings settings empty, it would be much easier is the plugin upgrade came with some default out-of-box settings.

3) This was fixed with the #2.

4) After making changes #1 and #2 the event is now displaying correctly. Not really sure why the event was not showing up initially.

5) Thank you for getting this on your road map.

6) NEW ISSUE – the previous version seemed to inherit the theme formatting. The new version seems to force it’s own style. I can provide pictures if needed. Is there a way to inherit the theme format for this plugin?

Hi Jake,

It turns out that the calendar uses it own styles to make it look like a calendar. You may need to tweak a few style rules to make it inherit some elements from the theme. If you let us know what elements you want to be styled by the theme and post a link to the calendar page we can take a look and offer some suggestions.

Josh,

We are using Avada theme from Themeforrest. (http://theme-fusion.com/avada/). The following would be desired outcome:

1. The event titles on the calendar follow the horizontal menu styling
2. The button titles follow the horizontal menu styling
3. The event titles in preview / hower-overs follow the theme title styling
4. The event description in preview / hower-overs follows the default font styling

The following picture represents the graphic view of the above description: http://d37toastmasters.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/ee-calendar-pic1_12-21-2103.jpg

Our calendar is located at this URL: http://d37toastmasters.org/district-calendar/. To reduce the spam and hacking efforts our website is blocking access to all countries with the exception of US. If you reply privately to support@d37toastmasters.org with your country origin then I can open up a temporary access to your country to preview the calendar.

Thank you,

Jake

Hi Jake,

It turns out that it’s the themeroller’s styles that are overriding the theme’s font-family styles. You can override these by adding the following to your custom stylesheet:

.ui-widget { 
font-family: MuseoSlab500Regular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

.ui-widget p {
font-family: 'PT Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Note: These will need to load *after* the themeroller styles in order to override them. If they don’t you could try adding the calendar’s ID to increase the specificity:

#espresso_calendar .ui-widget { 
font-family: MuseoSlab500Regular, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
}

#espresso_calednar .ui-widget p {
font-family: 'PT Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}

Hi Josh,

The first set of code fixed the issue.

Thank you,

Jake
