Version 6.0.6 makes the Posts page use index.php template instead of home.php

    I’ve found two client sites so far where the Settings -> Reading -> “Posts page:” setting does not work after updating to Version 6.0.6. The posts page should use the home.php template, but after updating to version 6.0.6, the posts page uses the index.php template. If I disable Events Calendar plugin, the Posts page uses the correct template. I’ve found two client sites that are broken so far, so this isn’t an isolated incident. Sites that have not auto updated to version 6.0.6 yet are fine.

    Three sites this happened on were on WP 6.1.1 / PHP 8.0. All plugins were updated to the latest versions.

  • I think I’ve just run into this problem when using Astra. I’m seeing the front page (which is displaying blog posts) not displaying the featured images properly.

    I have 2 sites with the same issue using Divi theme.

    There is a conflict between The events Calendar 6.0.6 and Divi theme 4.19.2.

    I don’t see exactly what the issue is in the console, but on the blog page the styling is all messed up. (Scientific term)

    We identified the issue by:
    1) Switching to 2017 theme and having no issues
    2) Disabling all plugins and re-activating them one-at-a-time
    3) Disabling all plugins and only activating The Events Calendar`

    The problem is the same with both Astra and Blocksy themes

    Same here with a custom build theme. All events are gone. Downgrading to 6.0.5 fixed it.

    This isn’t an issue specific to a specific theme. The $query->is_home value is manipulated here, which in my case is causing the issue.

    As far as I can tell, it shouldn’t be checking for query_vars[‘is_home’] – but just check $query->is_home instead. Either way, it is changing is_home from true to false.

    Hi everyone, we’ve released a fix v6.0.6.1, see if that fixes the issue on your end. Please do flush permalinks after updating the plugin.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    I tested with 6.0.6.1 prior to posting the message above

    6.0.6.1 did not fix the issue of the home.php template not working on the posts page, but I see Events Calendar released 6.0.6.2 today, and that version does fix this issue.
