Category Page – Pagination Fatal Error & Wrong Template File

    Greetings,
    I’m trying to use Event Espresso 4 Decaf for the purpose of allowing users to sign up for classes. Classes are organized between “board members” or “managers’. I’ve been able to figure out how to customize the plugin with my theme (mostly by copying files from the Arabica theme into mine), but I’ve run into a wall on this part:

    When I click on an event category on the front end, it uses index.php to load the events, rather than archive-espresso_events.php. I figured I could work around this by adding the archive file to my theme, which works, but the pagination is broken. It returns a Fatal error :

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function espresso_pagination() in ….. wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-decaf/public/Espresso_Arabica_2014/loop-espresso_events.php

    Pagination works perfectly on my main “education” page, which shows all of the classes.

    Am I going in the wrong direction for this category page? Is there a way to easily customize templates for EE 4? This is my first time using this plugin, and the template customization has been a bit difficult for me to figure out… Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Hi, that happens as the espresso_pagination function isn’t included with your child theme. Try following this tutorial:

    It is added at step 4.

    Awesome, that’s super helpful! It looks like I was going the right direction, after all, just didn’t think to add the espresso pagination to my own functions.php

    BUT there is a new problem now that I’ve done that…

    I used this code on my main “Education” page, which shows all of the classes. This was working before, using the pagination function from the plugin:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_expired=”false” css_class=”custom-course” order_by=”start_date,id” title=”Upcoming Courses”]’); ?>

    But since I’ve now added this same function to my theme’s functions.php file, it’s returning this fatal error:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare espresso_pagination() (previously declared in […] /wp-content/themes/HindmanSanchez/functions.php:529) in […] /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-decaf/public/Espresso_Arabica_2014/functions.php

    Is using a shortcode causing problems? I attempted to add espresso_get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘espresso_events’ ); in my template, but it didn’t show any classes at all.

    Any help as to how to get around this new error would be greatly appreciated. I’m so close to getting this to work, but the new pagination error is really stumping me…

    Actually, I’ve figured this out on my own! I didn’t think to simply change the name of the function in my own functions.php file. I also changed the pagination function name in loop-espresso_events.php to match my new custom function. This does the job well enough, so I’m going to say this is resolved.

    Thanks for the help getting me started in the right direction!

    Hello! You recently asked about the templates for Event Espresso 4. We have a new resource that explains how the templates work together and you can see it here:
