Calendar widget not showing post type drop down

Hi farou777

I’m not sure what is going on if you can select it in the other widgets. It could be a conflict with another plugin or your theme.

First try adding this to your (child) theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'cptda_replace_default_core_widgets', '__return_false' );

This will not replace the widgets from WordPress and adds the widgets from this plugin separate. Add the “Custom Post Type Calendar” widget to a sidebar and see if you can select the post type there.

Thx for your quick reply. I just tried that and I still don’t see that dropdown… You are right maybe its one of my plugin conflicting? But I do need all the plugins I am using…

Hello Keesie, so I tried to set up a new environment to test with ONLY the CPT Archives plugin active (ALL other plugin are deactivated) I still dont see that dropdown… I am running WP 5.2.2 and Total 4.8.5 theme. I can’t find a simple and decent-looking calendar plugin that would allow me to display my CPT… Any idea why this is not working? Thank you.

I don’t really have a clue why this is happening other than it’s somehow hidden by CSS or a conflict with your theme. The widgets are all registered in the same function. Because the dropdown shows in the other widgets I have no idea why it will not display in the calendar widget.

For testing add this to your theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'widget_form_callback', 'cptda_widget_form_callback', 10, 2 );

function cptda_widget_form_callback( $instance, $_this ) {

	$calendar = $_this instanceof CPTDA_Widget_Calendar;

	echo '<pre>';
	var_dump( $calendar );
	echo '</pre>';

	// Check if plugin calendar class is actually used
	if ( $calendar ) {
		// It's used
		$plugin = cptda_date_archives();

		// Display custom post types with date archives added.
		echo '<pre>';
		print_r( $plugin->post_type->get_post_types( 'names' ) );
		echo '</pre>';
	} else {
		// Not used
		echo 'Class used is ' . get_class( $_this );
	}

	return $instance;
}

Open the calendar widget and copy the information at the top of the widget and post it here. After that remove the code from your theme’s functions.php file
