elementor interferring with Events Manager Plugin

I think your header has an issue. If you Inspect the code for the list of events, you’ll see code for the menu instead. So perhaps whatever you are doing when you refer to: “I choose to have the template settings override the incoming page from the classic editor” is interfering with the page layout.

5/22 add info
The elementor settings are set to posts, pages, locations, events, disable default colors and disable default fonts

In events manager I have locations and events set to be pages. So it seems to me that a template made in the free version as a page should work for both the location single and the event single.

Is this correct?

@cavalierlife Possible I will check it out. I have an event that I deleted from the system and will choose no when I reinput it.,

I assume you are looking at code in the page source. Yes?

<p>Trips lasting one day to local fly fishing areas</p>
<h3>Upcoming Events</h3>

• Full Moon Fishing on The Colorado River 8/14/19 – 08/14/2019 – 08/15/2019 – All Day
• Fishing the Arkansas @ Hayden Meadows 8/24/19 – 08/24/2019 – All Day
• Spinney Reservoir Day Trip 9/14/19 – 09/14/2019 – All Day
• Day/Overnight to Pump House 10/19/19 – 10/19/2019 – All Day
• Turning Blue on the Blue – 11/09/2019 – All Day

Each category of all day trips shows a correct url for the event. But not when viewed in the events list by category. It is as if there is a problem with the echo function or the events manager events_list function is not completing all the stack of events.

I wonder if the elementor wrapper is stopping before the events list by category is parsed.

May be beyond my capabilities to track this down.I do not sling code.

Not source exactly, but Inspect. (Right-click the part of the page you want to see details on, and click Inspect in Chrome).

When I inspect the first link on your All Day Trips page, instead of seeing the code for the link, I’m seeing code for a menu item. See the image below. The header is messing things up.

There is two places where the permalink structure is defined. The normal one in the WP setting page which is usually site name/post-name

When events manager is installed the EM permalink stucture is as follows
https://www.successfulflyfishing.com/hpdtest/events/2012-olympics/
mysite/events/postname

in the categories it is
https://www.successfulflyfishing.com/hpdtest/events/categories/sports/
mysite/events/categories/category name/

Events Manager uses a couple of ways to get into the function calls and sql searches of the Database for the categories to return results to the final page render.
1. is by using this structure mysite/?event-categories=categoryname
2. by using mysite/events/categories/category name

Either structure returns a list of Events by category name. The hpd-fff.com site uses the ? structure and all events list parts have the correct uri behind the event name ie. regular html way to show a link
on the test site the custom menu link follows the EM settings format for the event categories and does return an events list with the correct post name just not with the link part of the name/link.

The board meetings events list generated from the second menu link all have the live url for each part of the listing stack. But is is the only one that works the way all the others should. The board meetings are all non elementor pages.

All events lists from the hpd events menu in either site are dynamically generated by events manager and then shown on a target page set in the EM settings.

So either the events manager is working very different on the test site or elementor wrapper code is blocking the dynamic generation of the url portion of the events list. or some of both perhaps.

some of the other pages are also dynamically generated and shown on a target page set in the events manager settings. I have target pages set up the same on both sites.

This is not a simple issue. But the total permalink structure for the site is involved in no urls on the events list generated from the menu. Just how I am not sure yet.

I feel like we are not hearing one another. Something is wrong with the entire output of the page. Do you see how the header is not working on that page? I don’t think this is a permalink thing.

Yes I am hearing you. And you are correct the page formatting for a single event is messed up. It is also different than the hpd-fff.com site so that means I got something changed between the two sites. The same plugin is running events on both sites. The formatting options are set down in the event manager settings on a format tab. I will have to go compare about 50+ settings again to get them the same. Especially the different pages being used for a category with a single event.

The rest is depth of categories. The .com has much fewer category levels. I have the test site showing urls down to the all day trips level. Beyond that no event has a working link. This will have to go to the event manager forum for help.

I think that there is some interference from the elementor wrapper but not sure how much vs event manager settings and formatting.

Thanks for your help. I am going to close this for now.

@cavalierlife
Thanks to your last post, I spent some time thinking about my template that I was using. It was not designed with enough space for the content container to display below the header menu which was covering up part of the content listing. Hence no links would work even though they were there. I went thru the customizer and did some better formatting there and then thru all the EM events to provide much cleaner event formatting.

The header link on the the menu is just a dummy link used to display the text part of a link for the menu marker.

Thanks again for taking time to look at this problem and helping me.

Now I feel like we made a solid connection! ??

Very happy to hear you solved it. Good job!
