Just upgraded and now the slider is not displaying at all. Slider reappeared after rolling back to the previous version of TEC.

Hi @smallwebsolutions, sorry to hear about this. I’m curious, were you able to clear cache after upgrading?

Could you try switching themes and upgrading and see if that makes a difference? To be safe, we’d recommend conducting these tests on a Staging Server. Also, please keep a working backup of your website.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,
Abz

I have tested this on a staging site with Theme Twenty-Two and no caching. The slider is still not appearing. I also deactivated all plugins except for TEC and LayerSlider; same results.

If you would like access to the staging site, please let me know and I will create an admin account for you to investigate.

Thank you.

@abzlevelup or @eeide, any chance for assistance on this issue? Is anyone else reporting the same problem after the db upgrade for v6.+?

Thank you.

Hi @smallwebsolutions, sorry to hear about this. Although we do not fully support integration and customization. Let’s see what we can do further here. Were you able to make the MetaSlider work and The Events Calendar work with the previous version pre-v6.0? Moreover, could you try testing it with the Twenty Nineteen theme?

It would also be good to reach out to the MetaSlider team. Please do not share any credentials, this is for us to follow the WordPress Forum Guidelines.

The slider + TEC worked perfectly together in v5.9+, but the problem I originally laid out in this thread occurred when I updated the db (as required) after upgrading to TEC v6.0. The issue was that the slider was showing expired events going back to the very first created event in the calendar from 2018 in ASC order. We placed the slider in DESC order for the public facing version of the slider, so at least it was showing future events instead of expired events.

I then upgraded to the most recent release, which was supposed to be a fix for this recognized bug, but the slider disappeared altogether. In rolling back to the previous v6.0, the slider reappeared, but again with the expired events.

I tried using the shortcode in a stand alone page in Twenty Nineteen, but encountered the same results – no slider. Here is that page. In the code, you can see that the call for the slider is made with all accompanying code. I have no idea why it is not visible.

Your continued help would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance for help on this? I think I can work around this be deleting all events prior to the current date, but even if I do so, I won’t be able to update TEC going forward if the slider disappears when I do.

And it is TEC that is causing the issue. I can create other kinds of sliders that work just fine. But not one using TEC feed.

Thanks.

Hi, @smallwebsolutions, apologies for the delayed response here. With the v6, we retired a couple of functions/methods that we suspect caused breaking changes with the third-party plugin you’re using. Although we cannot pinpoint the function the slider uses, you could share our Developer Changes with the MetaSlider Team. See the URL here for reference: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/developer-changes-version-6-0-with-legacy-views-removal/.

That being said, the only workaround we have is for you to use the previous version of the plugin, v5.16.x.x, and since you’re using a premium third-party plugin, we do not provide support for it.

We appreciate your patience.

Best,
Abz

Hi @smallwebsolutions,

We haven’t heard from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions.
