I would like to add the following information:
Also existing events – although shown correctly in the homepage – can’t be edited (event dates are not shown: empty, in yellow, it is not possible to add a date, the title can’t be edited…)

If you can’t edit events, there is a javascript error causing this. Disable all other plugins and see if it works then, then reenable one by one until you find the conflicting plugin. Many plugins come with their own jquery in stead of using the wp one, that might be ther problem.
Also, check your browser console for jazascript errors, the clue might be found there too.

Hi Franky,
thank you very much for your hint.
You were right, I identified the plugin in question, it’s the plugin PTA Volunteer Signup Sheet.
I am going to contact the plugin author.
Thank you, problem solved.

The plugin-author of PTA Volunteer Sign Up Sheet solved the problem.
The problem was not caused by a “wrong programming” but by the following situation, which was very quickly solved by the plugin-author.
I add his detailed explanation here:
I have quickly found the conflict with Events Made Easy. We are both using the same Datepick jQuery script for entering dates on the admin side, and registering it with the same name, but the versions are different. Mine must be getting registered before theirs, causing theirs to not work properly due to differences in the versions. That is a third party, open source script, that neither of us wrote ourselves, but that makes it easier to enter dates in the proper format by allowing users to select the dates from a calendar.
I did a quick test on my local machine of renaming mine from the standard jquery-datepick, to pta-datepick, and the conflict went away.
This is not a case of either of us doing something “wrong”, it’s just a conflict of two different versions of the same script registered with the same name.
I will update my plugin later today.

Nice of you to post the solution and for the author of PTA Volunteer Sign Up Sheet to analyze the situation (I didn’t got to test it yet). In order for me to resolve future issues, I’ll rename mine too later on.
I also replied on your thread on the PTA Volunteer Sign Up Sheet, to be sure no bad feelings exist 🙂
