Setting up Events page: weird metadata & can't format to be FW

  • Greetings:

    My site (everythingAutism.org) is not published yet, so I have only a screen shot I can send if you need to see. I just entered my first event today and am having some problems getting the event to display properly.

    1. I cannot get the venue name to “stick” when I enter an event. It just keeps disappearing.

    2. One the Events page, after the event name, I am getting weird bulleted metadata:

    A bullet with today’s date
    A blank bullet
    A bullet with my wordpress login
    A bullet which says “Comments off.”

    This may have to do with the interconnection between the events post and the post format for the site, but I don’t understand that. Is there a way to make them not appear on the individual events page?

    3. The Events page does not show up in my list of pages for the site, so how to I set it to be a full width page?

    4. Under event details, venue is not showing up, but this probably has to do with #1.

    Please tell me what I am doing wrong!!
    Thank you,
    Emily

    Hi, I solved my probelsm except for the weird metadata. For each event I am getting the date, my wordpress login name and comments off. Is there a way of removing this?

    Event Details

      Start: 25 July 2014 11:00 am
      Venue: NRG Stadium

    My site is unpublished while under development so I’m sorry I can’t show it. Thanks!

    Hi Emily,

    I’ll answer your original post for the benefit of others. (2) I believe answers you second post.

    1. Sounds like a javascript error. I’d recommended checking your browser’s console for any errors, or disabling other plug-ins/themes to see which one is causing the error. The plug-in should work fine on a clean install.

    2. Unless your theme has a single-event.php template file, the plug-in uses single.php and inserts event details just before the main content of the event. What you can do is either edit single.php to not include that data if 'event== get_post_type(), or create a copy ofsingle.php, namedsingle-event.php` and edit accordingly. In this instance you’ll need to (if you want to!) insert the event details yourself. Details on how to this can be found here: <a href=”https://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/theme-integration/”>https://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/theme-integration/</a&gt;.

    3. The events pages are not ‘pages’ in the traditional sense. In the same way your ‘posts’ pages aren’t either. You’ll need to <a href=”https://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/theme-integration/overview/”>edit the appropriate template(s)</a>. Removing get_sidebar() will remove the sidebar, but you may need to make adjustments to the mark-up so that it fits better with your theme.

    4. I think you’re right ;).

    I hope that helps!
