[Plugin: The Events Calendar] name of first event entered appearing on calendar page as header

Hi there folks. Thanks for reaching out and for the heads up on this. We have had a few reports of this first issue in the past and usually it resulted in a conflict of some kind with the user’s environment…but that being said, there has been an uptick in such reports lately for both that and the second issue.

I’ve asked the dev team to take a look, using this thread as a point of reference. We’ll try to figure out what’s wrong that could be causing this (we’ve thus far been unable to recreate either issue) and if it’s an issue on our end, get it patched for our next release. That’s 2.0.7, and is out at the start of June. If we get any working code before then I’ll offer it up to anyone in the forum here who may be interested.

Thanks for being patient and apologies for the inconvenience so far.

Yes Got all the same issues as first poster.

This calendar is perfect for my needs so trying to tweak it as much as possible to correct the glitches i get (with this wordpress theme)

FYI The 2 solutions i made to fix as best as possible.

To correct the header issue, i hid the H1 tag in css on the events-gridview (calendar) and events-list (events list) body styles.

.events-gridview h1 {display:none;}
.events-list h1 {display:none;}

Then i edited the gridview.php and list.php file and inserted a new div H2 and styled to suit.

The date-picker solution, the best i could do was make sure each month has an event added so the date picker wouldnt screw up as mentioned in first post.

Hopefully a fix might come soon, but im looking at updating to the pro version as i really like this calendar. Be nice if these issues i get are fine in the pro version tho.

You can also add us to the list having the same problem with the first item being the header of the page. The website is in setup, but you can see what happens here:

We are also using Woo Themes and have very few plugins running at this point: Add From Server, Category Order, Gravity Forms, TinyMCE Advanced, and WP Easy Uploader. Deactivating them did not seem to make a difference.

I’m pretty sure this is happening on all the WooThemes you can download the free version at – http://www.woothemes.com/themes/free/

Thanks Susan! You can ignore the email message our team just sent about sharing a link to the thread; I found it and have passed this all on to the dev.

Almogdesign: got it. We’ll test against that, too. I’ve asked our dev to look at this as soon as possible so we can try to get a patch out. As soon as I hear anything I’ll let you know; should be the next couple days for sure.

Hi all,

Has anyone tried changing the Events Template setting in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template? Sometimes this can resolve the issue.

The only other thing you can do is manually set the page title in your theme template files wherever the_title is called. Sometimes this is in header.php and more often in page.php

You’re going to want to conditionally set the title for the event plugin related pages with code along these lines. Here is an example used for a specific theme: https://gist.github.com/aad337b8f0662d4df1b6 – you’ll need to find where the_title is being called in your theme and then modify the code to include your own themes specific markup and PHP for the title display.

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jonah

Any update on the fix for this bug? We’re manually dealing with it right now and would rather not.

Thanks!
