"Search & Filter" Plugin incompatibility

    I recently started to work on a website that was using The Events Calendar plugin with version 3.9.1

    I installed the Search & Filter Plugin to make searches that have nothing to do with events, but the search results of their forms were always blank. I noticed that deactivating The Events Calendar plugin, search forms worked OK, so i asked them what could that be.

    The part of the discussion affecting The Events Calendar pointed that “Sometimes a loose hook on pre_get_posts means that all queries are modified by mistake instead of only when its needed”. What i understand is that The Events Calendar might be using pre_get_posts in a way that affect more types of queries than the necessary.

    Of course, we have no idea if that could be a reason or if this theory is totally wrong, but i would appreciate if you could give me your point of view.

    Thank you!

    Thank you permanyer for bringing this to our attention. Our plugin does hook into pre_get_posts in one place. The function TribeEvents::pre_get_posts() is what hooks in. It does a few things, including modifying a query that includes the tribe_events post type by adding some relevant information to the returned posts, such as the event date. As you can imagine this is somewhat necessary.

    That said, it is entirely possible that there is something we, Search & Filter, or both of us could do differently to make the plugins be happy together. I really appreciate Search & Filter’s details here. And I would love to reach out to them here soon to see if we could work together and what one or both of us could do differently.

    I have to be honest though, the entire Modern Tribe team is on a team retreat/vacation for a bit longer, and when we get back we will be playing catch up for a bit. It might be a little bit before this discussion can start, and then a little more time for a resolution to happen. I tell you this just so you are fully informed about the timetable.

    Thanks again for the information. I am making a note to return to this matter once we are back in full swing. Cheers!
