In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Fatal ErrorVC = Visual Composer. There is a known conflict between Visual Composer and Ai1ec.
Ai1ec allows you to define a default “Calendar” page (in Events->Settings –> Viewing Events tab). On this specially defined page, the calendar will be displayed without the need for the ai1ec shortcode to be in the page. Some people mistakenly add ai1ec shortcode to that page, and this causes an endless loop that can cause all manner of problems.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Calendar Display DateAi1ec also uses the built-in WP settings for dates and times, so you need to make sure it’s changed in both places.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Timezone Lost in All EventsFor #1, I know I’ve heard of people having the issue for some past events, but it hasn’t happened to everyone.
For #2, If you want to update ALL events, try the following mysql query:
update wp_ai1ec_events set timezone_name="Europe/London";Note: The table name prefix for WP by default is
wp_– This can be changed, so if your site is different, you’ll need to update the query to change this as appropriate.They may have restored the files, but they obviously didn’t restore the database.
Ai1ec stores all events in the database. The format of the dates in the database has changed since the 1.x days, which is why it will most likely show 1969 for the dates (as it’s confused).

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] social sharingCould be that your social sharing plugin is not handling the fact that Event post titles can have HTML in them.
See https://time.ly/forums/topic/classp-summary-in-event-title/#post-147055 for a possible work-around.
Note: The same can be true of the description, which some social sharing plugins embed into the URL to share. If they’re not checking that for special characters then expect similar problems.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Shortcode for limited number of events?Try:
[ai1ec events_limit="4"]All the shortcodes are listed in Events->Settings –> Advanced->Shortcodes.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Calendar Title Showing TwiceThis is due to your WP theme.
Event titles can have HTML in them, and your WP theme is not stripping this from the title text before using it in a HTML element field (such as alt).
See my explanation, and a short-term work-around till your theme author fixes their theme: https://time.ly/forums/topic/classp-summary-in-event-title/#post-147055

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] How to stop 404's after uninstall?Well if Ai1ec’s not there, of course any bots which try to refresh their info will get an error since the plugin isn’t serving those pages any more.
FWIW: I’d add all those URLs into a robots.txt file in your site root with all those URLs marked so that bots don’t crawl them. You will get some 404’s as the bots figure out that they’re gone then it’ll die out, except for some persistent bots which don’t bother checking robots.txt
You might need to raise the PHP memory limit for your host.
I’d look at how much memory your site uses currently using a plugin like WP-Memory-Usage or similar.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-memory-usage/
Ai1ec can take between 16-32MB depending on what’s going on, so I’d make sure your limit is at least 32MB higher than when Ai1ec is disabled.
Note: The only other thing I can suggest is to enable debugging then try enabling the plugin, as that way you’ll get some sort of error that will help you fix the issue.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Fatal ErrorAre you using Visual Composer at all?
VC and Ai1ec don’t get on well, causing an endless loop that exhausts memory. You can use them together, but you need to make sure that any Ai1ec pages, widgets or shortcodes are not used within VC page areas.
Lastly, if you’ve used the [ai1ec] shortcode on the default calendar page, you do not need to. The calendar is inserted automatically at the end of the calendar page (configured in Events->Settings). Using the shortcode on the configured calendar page leads to a loop issue that also can exhaust memory.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Use extreme caution!This could be due to any number of reasons.
Plugin conflict, theme conflict, file permissions or even simply that your PHP memory limit is way to low.
Unfortunately without error logging turned on for the site in question, you’ll never know.
Ok, this looks to be the description that’s being pulled by a search plugin.
It’s the same sort of problem, but related to the post body.
<meta name="description" content="<div class="timely ai1ec-excerpt"> <div class="ai1ec-time"> <strong>When:</strong> October 14, 2014 @ 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm </div> <div class="ai1ec-location"> <strong>Where:</strong> Woodside Elementary School, W236N7465, Woodside Rd, Sussex, WI, United States </div> </div> " />Basically, anything that spits out text to use in a HTML element should be stripped of HTML tags and then have special characters escaped.
Unfortunately, commenting this out will stop any event detail being inserted into the page, so you will really need to look at the theme and what function/code is being used to populate that HTML attribute.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Posterboard layoutYou need to get the Extended Views add-on from the website.
https://time.ly/downloads/extended-views/
You install this just like you install any other plugin.
Note: This is a FREE plugin. You need to go through the cart, same as for the core, but the cost is $0.00.
PS: Make sure to enter the add-on license key you have into Ai1ec (the add-ons option will appear in Settings once the add-on is installed).

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Month view in sidebar?It’s possible but requires a fair bit of work.
You’d need to use the standard shortcode in a text section added to the sidebar and then override the calendar CSS to change the calendar into something that is much smaller/suitable to fit in a sidebar.

In reply to: [Timely All-in-One Events Calendar] Admin Blank after activatingCould be a plugin or theme conflict, or you may not have enough free PHP memory available.
