This is how it works by default! Enjoy!

You need to list all the variables within one shortcode. Otherwise you’re asking WP to redraw the calendar. This should work…

[mfgigcal limit=4 details=false]

Let me know how it goes!

Image size and how it fits into your website is completely controlled by your theme – not by the MF Gig Calendar plugin. ??

I’m guessing something just didn’t completely install or update. Or you’ve got another plugin conflicting with it. Strange.

You can manually remove the plugin (via FTP) and then simply reinstall it. The database should remain intact (won’t delete itself or your data) but you should always do a DB backup before just to be safe.

Sorry. Not yet.

Hey there. There’s no export capability built into the plugin. The data is just stored in a DB table with the WP tables. Just make sure you move the mfgigcal table along with everything else and you’ll be all set.

I usually use phpMyAdmin to do moves like this. Not sure that WP’s export function will include plugin tables.

This is an option in the new version! As of version 1.0

Yay!

Hi Hummel

If you use any of the advanced shortcodes it will hide the title and the archive navigation. Those are intended to give you control to display specific event data (a limited event list) on a PAGE or POST.

So, you can get your result by using something like this:

[mfgigcal offset=0]

Hope that helps.

Hi Claudia

Sorry about the trouble you’re having! What I’m guessing is the case is that you’ve got some extra (hidden) code in your event description that is causing the problem. This usually happens when you copy-paste from MS Word or some other program that includes text styles (fonts, sizes, alignment, whatever…) and that hidden code is messing up my plugin!

I’ll try to get the plugin to do a better job stripping that out in the next release, but for now here’s how you can fix it.

You can access the event to clean it up pretty easily. Once you are logged into your admin area try this URL based on your site address:

https://www.swingularity.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mf_gig_calendar&id=7&action=edit

The id= part or that link needs to match the event_id of your shortcode (that’s why I put a 7 in there).

You should now be able to edit that troublesome event. Specifically take a look at the Event Location and Event Details – the ones that use the WYSIWYG editor. Click on the Text tab in the top right corner of those so you can see what’s happening behind the scenes. You’ll likely see a bunch of extra stuff in there. You can strip that out and start over, or try to just strip out what shouldn’t be there (if you’re familiar with the WordPress editor).

Do that for both the Event Location and Event Details and click Save Event down at the bottom. That should take back to the list of events and should fix your problem.

No DB access knowledge required. Let me know how it goes please!!

These are all good suggestions. Thanks for sharing them! I’ll see what I can do in a future release.

Hi. Thanks for getting back.

I actually uninstalled the Root Relative URLs plugin shortly after I posted that question. It’s useful for moving the WP installation from DEV to Production, but it’s not a plugin I like very much. It’s way too invasive, as the plugin actually writes to your wp-config.php file and doesn’t clean up after itself if you just hit “uninstall.” That took a bit of sleuthing. I had to go in and also delete the code it wrote into that file.

Basically the links in my sitemap looked like this with the plugin installed:

/path/to/page
/path/to/other-page

instead of:

https://domain.com/path/to/page
https://domain.com/path/to/other-page

Let me know if you want/need me to reinstall this plugin somewhere for you or if this is enough info…

Hi there. From what you’re describing I think that’s the correct behavior. No?

Did I say “simple” enough in that message? ??

You’re correct. In an effort originally to make this as simple as possible I didn’t even mess with registering and manipulating the events as custom post types. So, no there is no built in way to push the events in that way. There is a RSS feed which I suppose you could use.

I created this as a simple way to display events as objects on pages and posts – since there were plenty of event plugins out there made with custom post types already. I wanted something simpler.

Now that I’m getting so many requests for enhancements and additions like yours I’m working on a whole new version that will register the events as post types so you’ll be able to do more WordPressy things with them. Also will help with SEO I’m sure.

All while trying to maintain the simplicity I was going for in the beginning. Stay tuned…

BTW – I couldn’t get Peter’s hook to work exactly the way he shared it. Just changed it slightly and got it working:

add_filter( 'aioseop_title', 'mf_rewrite_custom_titles' );

function mf_rewrite_custom_titles( $title ) {
    if ( is_post_type_archive() ) {
        $post_type = get_post_type_object( get_post_type() );
        $blog_title = get_bloginfo();
        $title = $post_type->labels->name . " | " . $blog_title;
    }
    return $title;
}

Hope that helps.
