Add HTML before event content not working

Hi @marvmckay66 ,

Thank you for reaching out and bringing this to our attention.

This is a known bug in our plugin. We already created an internal bug ticket for this, and I added your case.

I am unable to provide an exact date or time estimate for when this bug will be fixed, but you’ll be notified when there are any updates.

If you do have other concerns or issues you need help with, please create another thread, as it helps us track different issues.

In the meantime, you can make use of the tribe_events_before_html filter hook like the example below:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_before_html', function ( $content ) {

	$content .= '<div>';
	$content .= '<h1>Heading One</h1> ';
	$content .= '<p>Lorem ipsum odor amet, <b>consectetuer</b> adipiscing elit.</p> ';
	$content .= '<a href="/events/"><button class="tribe-common-c-btn">Click Here</button></a>';
	$content .= '</div>';

	return $content;
} );

Again, thank you for your patience. Hang in there.

Internal Bug Ticket Reference: TECTRIA-403

Hi there,

We prioritize bugs by taking into consideration the number of users impacted as well as how the bug impacts one’s ability to run an event/sell tickets. I don’t have a specific timeline as to when this issue will be resolved, but trust that our team is aware. Our team communicates updates and bug fixes in our newsletter and via our changelog.

I’m happy to help if any other questions are coming up around this topic, otherwise I’ll go ahead and close this ticket.

Hello. I’m having the same issue as MarvMckay66 after downloading 6.7.0 with the html content not being saved and being stripped after clicking the save button to add additional content. It has ruined the aesthetic of my website page being consistent in text sizes/color for emphasis and there’s no way to fix it unless I restore a version of my site with The Events Calendar 6.6.4 which has a known security issue. What’s interesting is that when testing 6.7.0 in my staging site, there was no issue with the additional content display–it’s only occurring on my live site.

You provided a temporary solution using the tribe_events_before_html function. I’m not experienced with html (mostly copy & paste tags I see by viewing page source code), so I’m not sure how to use it. Where should the tribe_events_before_html function be pasted? If the Additional Content page isn’t saving html changes, in what page/sheet/file do we put the function? Please let me know and thank you for your help.

The ‘Add HTML after event content’ feature is also not working in version 6.7.0. It exhibits the same behavior as ‘Add HTML before event content’ as described in the opening topic.

I’ll chime in here as well that this isn’t functional and hoping it gets fixed soon. I tried to add the filter to my functions.php file and it had no effect for some reason.

But this is an important issue to resolve so as to give a quick link to the community on being able to add their own events. Which is what we had in our html_before and after.

Hello, I just tested the updated plugin version 6.7.1 and the issue is still occurring. I read through the change log, but again, I’m not familiar with all of the coding. Was a fix for this issue bypassed in the newly released version? What can we do to keep our HTML content intact before and after the calendar grid until it’s fixed (aside from not updating the plugin on our live site)? Should we open another ticket since this thread is technically closed? Please advise, thank you for your help.

I was able to start another thread for support to help with version 6.7.1 and the HTML content not being saved. It’s titled “HTML Content Before/After Event Still Not Working w/ 6.7.1”
