Not showing events

Same for me. A lot of events but “There are no upcoming events at this time”

@lisalisa1987 why are you not able to update to the latest version? It may be an issue with that version of events calendar so you’d need to update to 4.0.4 and see if that sorts it out.

@dknut what is your site and what version of WordPress and The Events Calendar are you running? Also, what is the shortcode you are using?

The shortcode has been tested on 4.4 with the latest version of The Events Calendar (4.0.4)

Hello Brian,
happy new year.
ThanQ for your help.
here are my details:

[ecs-list-events limit=’8′ order=’DESC’]

WP 4.4
Event Calendar Version 4.0.4
Event Calendar Shortcode Version 1.0.11

@dknut what’s your website? I’m not sure I’ll be able to replicate the problem on my end but can at least try and see what events you’re trying to show with that shortcode.

Here it is.

Can you try disabling all plugins and temporarily reverting to a default theme (like Twenty Sixteen) and see if the shortcode still does the same thing? I’m wondering if something is changing the query such that it does not work.

Sorry, Brian. I’m afraid this is not possible. Its a live site and not a site for testing and findung developer mistakes. More of the errors will be done by hardcoded language phrases. Not yours. You right that it can be another plugin. I know that Tribe is not able to solve their problems. I just hoped that the shortcode plugin would solve this and saw that my site is not the only site where your plugin will not work. It was just hope.

Thanks for your help.

@dkunt completely understand, should definitely not do this on a live site, and these issues are can be difficult to diagnose since any other plugin or theme could cause an issue like this.

Managed WordPress hosting providers like WPEngine and SiteGround allow you to create a copy of your site for testing issues like these with one click, or you could create a local copy of your site using XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP or even VVV with instructions like these:

Let me know if you’re able to deactivate all other plugins and switch to a default theme to see if it’s working. From there you can re-activate plugins one-by-one and test after each activation to verify when the issue occurs.

@brian, thanks for you info. But this would be too difficult. I need a running site and not a dite to be fixed. So I will look for another event calendar instead or break don wordpress. Because this happend with year 2016 as the date format changed in Tribe Event Calendar.
