Title: [Plugin: Events Manager] date search & sidebar problems Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Events Manager] date search & sidebar problems * [kvirella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvirella/) * (@kvirella) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/) * When I put my cursor into either date-search field on the event-search page, some strange text appears outside the input area. The text is * Underneath this text, a drop down menu containing months and years appears. You can see the effect here — [http://www.dominionofnewyork.com/events/](http://www.dominionofnewyork.com/events/)— by placing your cursor into either of the date search fields. * I looked at /template/event-search. But can’t figure out what might be causing this issue. * In addition, the sidebars on my category listing pages are broken. You can see that here: [http://www.dominionofnewyork.com/events/category/readings/](http://www.dominionofnewyork.com/events/category/readings/) * I haven’t had this problem on other event manager pages, at least so far. * Any advice you can give me about how to fix this would be appreciated, * Thanks, K * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/events-manager/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * [agelonwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelonwl/) * (@angelonwl) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/#post-2203440) * hello, * have you tried switching to default theme or deactivating other plugins installed temporarily could be a conflict. * and also did you make any changes on EM like its templates? * Thread Starter [kvirella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvirella/) * (@kvirella) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/#post-2203471) * Thanks for the reply. * I tried your suggestions and the one that worked was installing it on a new theme. * I’d really like to get this plugin or the paid one cooperating with my premium theme, which I think are both great. Would you recommend that I ask my theme developer to do the customization? Or try to upgrade to the paid one to see if it works. * Thanks, Kelly * Thread Starter [kvirella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvirella/) * (@kvirella) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/#post-2203473) * Hi, * I think I’ve found the source of the problem. My theme is running on JQuery 1.4.1 and Events Manager is running on 1.8.5. I’m not sure how significant the functionality differences are, but if it’s possible, I’d like to try to rollback the Events Manager JQuery. Please let me know if that’s worth a try and how I might go about doing it. * If it’s not worth a try, I’ll look for a developer who might be able to upgrade my theme. The original developer isn’t available for any freelance work. * Thanks, Kelly * Plugin Author [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * (@netweblogic) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/#post-2203478) * we run on the jquery WP uses. your theme is wrong for trying to load it’s own jquery, it’s guaranteed to create problems with other plugins. you need to remove that dependency from the theme * Thread Starter [kvirella](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kvirella/) * (@kvirella) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-date-search-sidebar-problems/#post-2203487) * Thanks, Marcus. A developer is working on a solution now. I hope we can get it to work.
