Thanks for reaching out. The idea of disabling the cache is good, but that’s not the culprit as I’ve had it disabled for a while now (i.e before I started this thread). I have not had the time to do further testing yet, hence the delay in replying. I’ll try and report new details next week, after I’ve studied the problem a bit more.

Hi!

Thank you for looking into this. I did some testing myself and would like to correct what I said before. It appears that I should have been more thorough in my reporting, since the current description is indeed a bit misleading & vague.

The function passed to add_action runs regardless of whether one is looking at the current month with or without events. However, my actual code doesn’t match the example 1:1, and this is where the problem seems to be.

Here’s what I’m using

add_action(
  'tribe_template_before_include:events/v2/components/events-bar/views', 
  function ( $file, $name, $template ) {          
    $template->template( 'components/contact' );
  },
  10,
  3
);

Like I said, this seems to run just fine. However, I put some “deadly” php into the contact.php template for testing, and that’s when things started to make more sense. Looking at the current month without any events does not cause the code to be executed for some reason.

Looking at your screenshot I noticed that you have other views (list, day) enabled. I only have month, although I doubt it makes a difference.

Let me know if I can be of more help or if you’ve managed to catch whatever obvious mistake I may be making here 🙂

Thank you. It was as simple as that.

The thing works like a charm… 🙂 I have no idea what was wrong before.
