  • Thats good…
    But still havent got any help or solution for my problem with not being able to publish ANY new news to my calender?!

    Great. After updating to the latest version, the plugin is misbehaving. It doesn’t show recent upcoming events rather, it starts with the first event I have posted (all the events I have posted are showed first) old events first instead of recent.
    Please what’s the problem?

    Had exactly the same problem as @othmanjb. My tribe_get_events loop started to display all events, including past events, starting with the oldest. Restored the site from my backup and now everything works again.

    Hi, we are having the same problem as @othmanjb and @simonwammerfors. The tribe_get_events loop with the setting ‘eventDisplay’ => ‘upcoming’ displays all events, starting with the oldest. Switching back to version 4.8.2 solves the problem.

    Just to note, I found that replacing:

    'eventDisplay' => 'upcoming'

    with

    'start_date' => date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' )

    Fixes the issue.

    Having similar issues here with a custom function using “tribe_get_events” pulling the incorrect information!

    What did change on this function that it breaking things now?

    So far, what I have noticed is that the function now needs the ‘start_date’ attribute.

    In my custom function I had:

    'orderby'           => 'date',
'order'             => 'ASC',

    I have replaced that with:

    'start_date' => date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' )

    And it seems to be working. I had also to use the following:

    date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

    I can’t get my calendar to move out of this month. I’ve tried List and Month view, I’ve tried deactivating new plugins (Gutenberg) that I didn’t have when my calendar was working fine.

    I saw this issue was posted 11 months ago but it’s now closed.

    After updating, our list page (shortcode tribe_events_list) and the Upcoming Events Widget no longer show events that have already started. For instance, we have an event that runs today through April 21 (April 19-21). It will only appear if I change the start date to April 20th.

    I updated this as well as the Events Calendar Pro, and now when I click an individual event, it either says “Sorry, no posts found” or it redirects to an old WordPress post. Any ideas?

    I can go one worse, after updating from 4.8.2 to 4.9 the plug-in completely breaks my website (http 500 error) and I have to restore from backup. I tried this 3 times and all 3 times it broke the website so I guess I’m stuck at 4.8.2 for now…

    I have the same problem i believe. Upcoming events on startpage shows events from the first events that was registrated, not the latest… How can it be solved? I am not a programmer.

    Hi folks,

    I wanted to jump in here and let you know that we are currently working on a follw up release to address a number of these issues. The work is currently being tested throughly. The release will include:

    * Fix for the issue where events are moved to Previous before they are over
    * Fix for the issue causing event widgets and shortcodes to show past events and/or display events out of order
    * Fix for the issue some people are seeing with the next and previous event links on a single event not linking to the correct events

    We’ll post an update on the forum once the new version is available, and you’ll see it as an option on your site. We hope to have this available quite soon, but if you need an immediate fix you can downgrade back to The Events Calendar 4.8.2.

    For those of you with custom queries, you may need to make adjustments as noted in some of the posts above. You can find more information in this article about using tribe_get_events.

    Thank you all for your support and patience while we get this release wrapped up!

    Best,
    Leah
