[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Plugin Showing "Next" on image slider of theme

Hey, Tech4Eleven. Thanks for reaching out. This is the first time I’ve seen this issue and it sounds like, if you’re sure that the arrow only appears when the plugin is on, it may be a conflict between our plugin and your theme’s slider. I’m not sure what the cause may be but I can get a developer on our end to try and troubleshoot. Stay tuned and my apologies for the inconvenience in the interim.

thank you so much. i’ll wait for your response I tried to find the word “next” in the themes files and the plugins but I couldn’t. was even looking to hide it via css but had no luck. I appreciate the help.

Hi guys,

Sorry about the trouble with this. This is caused by our plugin using .next and .previous classes in our templates and CSS. I’m creating a ticket get these changed in an upcoming release but for now you have one of two options:

1. Modify your slider code to use different classes besides .next and .previous. You’ll need to change not only the markup for the classes but also the CSS references for whatever you change the classes to.

2. Modify our plugin – this is pretty easy because it only requires editing two files. The first is the single event template located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php – make a copy of this file and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. Open up single.php and find the two links at the bottom of the code for navigating between events:

<div class="navlink previous"><?php tribe_previous_event_link();?></div>
<div class="navlink next"><?php tribe_next_event_link();?></div>

… change the ‘previous’ and ‘next’ classes to whatever you want. It could be ‘tribe-previous’ and ‘tribe-next’ for example.

Then, modify the CSS located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css – again make a copy of this and place in the same ‘events’ folder in your theme. Then find the declarations for .previous and .next and modify those classes to whatever you changed in the single.php.

Save and you’re done!

I hope that helps but let me know if you guys need any other assistance with this.

Cheers,
Jonah
