Current Show Not Updating

Same here. It stays on Monday even though it’s Wednesday:
https://hotrodradio.nl/hotrodradio-programma/

Any help please ??

We are on Word Press WordPress 5.7.2 ??

@tobstobs For the Current Show widget (and Upcoming Shows and Current Playlist widgets) we are introducing dynamic widget reloading in the Pro version, so that the widgets reload on show changeover times. This isn’t available in the Free version (and hasn’t existed until we recently created it for Pro.)

We will be launching Pro next week, you can signup here for the launch discount:
https://radiostation.pro/plugin-launch-discount/
Otherwise, if it’s just for this one feature, I did have another user mention they found a plugin that can reload widgets every x minutes, whereas in Pro it will reload at the exact show changeover time.

@hotrodradio The page you have linked to does not have a Current Show widget as in this ticket, but rather this is a schedule display issue. In future please open a separate support ticket, as not all issues are related.

On your site, I can see that the current day shows tab panel is displayed to begin with, BUT upon full pageload the javascript is somehow reverting it to showing the start of the week panel instead.

I have opened a Github issue for this and will close this ticket as resolved here as it is a separate issue.

@hotrodradio Turns out was just an initialization variable out of place causing the tabs to revert to default (first tab.)
Have just added it to the develop branch for the next version, you can install it this way:

Thank you, the develeop version works well now ??

Hi @majick, I think since it’s just this one feature I’m going with the external widget to dynamically reload widgets. (As much as using Pro for this would be ideal!)

Could you give me what the widget id is for the ‘currently playing’? I’ve tried searching for it using the inspect element but I’m obviously picking the wrong ones (found it for other widgets on the page)

@tobstobs No problem, the ID for the Current Show widget would be #current-show-widget-1 unless you have multiple widget instances on the page (unlikely but possible.)

@majick Sorry to keep dragging this out! Do you know what plugin exactly that person used or can you direct me to their post? I’ve been using the Auto Reload Widget and it’s not working for me, not having any luck finding any others.

@tobstobs We’ve been heads down in launching our PRO version, so Tony probably didn’t see this reply because the issue was resolved.

@majick if you can come back around and let him know what plugin that person you referenced may have used, that would be helpful to @tobstobs. Thanks.

@tobstobs I can’t seem to find the actual name of the plugin mentioned in the forum here or the ticket… I did find this issue on gitub, and have asked there if they can help as I believe it is the same user:
https://github.com/netmix/radio-station/issues/195

@tobstobs As mentioned in that issue, the plugin they used was “WP Auto Reload Widget”. Hope that helps.

For future reference the difference with the reload in the Pro version is it happens exactly at Show changeover time (with the Show info preloaded slightly before) rather than with a particular interval which may or may not match up to your schedule.

Thanks for getting back!

That’s the widget I was trying initially but just can’t get it to work so put it on the back burner. Ideally the functionality from the Pro version would be ideal but I’ve discussed it with the people I’m developing for and they’re on a bit of a tight budget (especially if it’s just for this one feature).

@tobstobs I’m going to close this. You’re welcome to repost if you still need assistance.
