Last Update Causes Issues

Similar situation here. I use Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) and the latest version of “The Events Calendar” affected the repeater fields which most are dropdown fields as well. After the resources for The Events Calendar loads it overrides the normal dropdown fields into links.

I rolled back to version 4.6.3 alongside of Events Calendar PRO 4.4.19 and Filter Bar 4.5.1 and it goes back to normal.

Is it possible to only load The Events Calendar resources when you are in the Events Calendar area, instead of loading globally in the back-end?

Please advise & thank you!

Same experience as @demaier.

Similar issue while editing WooCommerce product pages. Browser console shows the following error:

Uncaught Error: Option 'ajax' is not allowed for Select2 when attached to a <select> element.

which references the following script:

https://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/vendor/tribe-select2/select2.min.js?ver=4.7

Update: Isolated the issue to line 1836 in the non-minified select2.js (/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/vendor/tribe-select2/select2.js):

if ( select ) {
	// these options are not allowed when attached to a select because they are picked up off the element itself
	$.each( [ "id", "multiple", "ajax", "query", "createSearchChoice", "initSelection", "data", "tags" ], function () {
		if ( this in opts ) {
			throw new Error( "Option '" + this + "' is not allowed for Select2 when attached to a <select> element." );
		}
	} );
}

Removed “ajax” from the list of options that are not allowed and the issue is resolved.

@pasadamedia I tried your fix, however that did not work for me.

I have downgraded to version 4.6.3, until this is resolved.

Similar issue while editing WP-plugin ‘WB Databank Backup’ (by Prashant Walke) in the backend. Klick on column headings do not sort any more the data. And certainly, it happened since last update of The Events Calendar. Only downgrading helps;-)
Please fix a.s.a.p Thank you!

@southernb You would need to apply the change to the minified version of the file, which is located here:

/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/common/vendor/tribe-select2/select2.min.js

@pasadamedia, yes, that is where I applied the change. Thanks for your help.

Thanks to @61pixels, his fix worked to solve my issues with Tribulant Newsletter and ACF

Perhaps the proper code will roll out in the next update?

I’m sorry for the problems, everybody — but a fix for what I believe is the core issue faced by most of you should be available soon.

It is of course hard to be sure this is what every single one of you is hitting, because every site is different and it’s possible some of you are assuming you are experiencing the same problem as the OP but actually are hitting something that simply happens to have very similar symptoms yet is otherwise unrelated.

What I’d recommend though is holding out for the next update – which should be available soon – and seeing if that helps ??

Thanks for your patience!

Good news! Thanks @barryhughes-1

I also have an issue in Woocommerce Attach Me(WCAM)! plugin – Got the following reply from the plugin developer(reducted)
“As you can see from the demo site, the category selection menu properly works. So in your specific installation that issue most likely is caused by a 3rd party plugin that makes the select2.js javascript library to crash causing the menu to not work.

if you share again an access and report me a detailed step by step guide on how to get the error you reported in the screenshot you share, I can try to analyze the page to see if I can get more clues. If not, you have to procede by disabling procedure I reported earlier.”

When following the deactivating of each plugin as suggested, found that it was The Event Calender that caised the issue.

Would appreciate a fix soon.

Great, the fix is out and working for me.
