[Plugin: Events Calendar] Events Disappearing/No Tables Created?

@ronbme,

Yes, I did just remove “character set utf8”. Will that affect anything?

Beautiful. Thanks so much. By adding that simple piece of code into my options page, it then showed up properly in my large event calendar.

Thanks again, I’m so happy that it works now!

I hope I’m not pushing my luck here, but is there a way to force the calendar to display the start time without having to hover?

@isignjc,

Great! I’m glad you’ve got it working.

You might want to have your host upgrade your PHP and MySql. You could have problems with other plugins in the future.

Be sure to check back for new versions with more options.

Uh-oh…I just realized that my large calendar won’t go to the previous or next month. Any ideas?

@isign4jc,

Have you tried switching themes? That has worked for others.

@ronbme,

I’m creating a website for a client using this calendar, so I must use my own theme. Is there an alternative fix?

@isign4jc,

I’ll see if there is an alternate you can use. You are not getting any errors when you try to go to the next or previous month, are you?

As for your question about seeing the start time without hovering, no, there’s no way to do it right now. What you see in the large calendar are the titles.

Make sure in the theme header that the following line appears.
<?php wp_head();?>
and make sure the footer contains
<?php wp_footer();?>

@ronbme,

I’m not getting any errors when I click on the previous or next month. Nothing happens at all when I do so.

@snumb130,

I already had the <?php wp_head();?> properly in place, but did not have the <?php wp_footer();?> . Is it important where exactly the <?php wp_footer();?> goes? I don’t have an official footer on my own created theme, so I was just trying it out with adding that line at the end of my script. It did not fix anything.

I am not sure if the wp_footer has to be in a particular part. Probably not. It should be fine as long as it happens late in the page.

Ok, I made sure that wp_footer was right before my closing body tag since that’s how it is in the default template. I’m still not able to switch the calendar to the next or previous month. Any other ideas?

isign4jc,

This sounds like a javascript problem, although the previous and next months would not be showing at all if that were the case.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache and made sure that javascript is turned on?

hm…I’m stumped as to the problem. I made sure that javascript was turned on and I also cleared my browser cache. Additionally, I uninstalled the events calendar plugin from my site, downloaded it again, then uploaded it again to my site (without removing the current database). This also did not affect anything.

This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that I was unable to add the line CHARACTER SET utf8 to my database, would it?

I also compared the source code in my page to the source code on the plugin’s homepage and mine looks different. For some reason mine is adding all these spaces. Here is what it is showing:

<div id="calendar_wrapLarge"><h2 style="text-align:center;"><span id="EC_previousMonthLarge"></span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;May&nbsp;2008&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<span id="EC_nextMonthLarge"></span></h2><br /><table id="wp-calendarLarge">

If I update my database to 5.0 will I have to reinstall WP and everything else?

@isign4jc,

That code is ok.

There should be another block of code further down that looks like this:

jQuery(function($) {
        $(document).ready(function() {
          $('#EC_previousMonthLarge').append("«Apr");
          $('#EC_nextMonthLarge').prepend("Jun»");
          $('#EC_previousMonthLarge').mouseover(function() {
            $(this).css('cursor', 'pointer');
          });
          $('#EC_nextMonthLarge').mouseover(function() {
            $(this).css('cursor', 'pointer');
          });

What does your code look like in the blocks that follow the above code?
