That worked. Hopefully the style will be consistent with the other input fields for the next update.

Thank you for all your help. This was really frustrating, but I love this calendar.

Perfect, John, thank you.

In regards to your screencast, the selection box border was dimmed out but you obviously knew where to click. Once it was clicked (box active), the border color changed.

Have submitted a f/u ticket to [email protected] with screenshot of the dim box border for the manual selection dropdown. Since I don’t have a pro version I was unable to submit a ticket other than to that email address.

Thank you, John, for all your help.

Hi John,

Oh good grief. As I was wandering thru the code looking for enlightenment, I could see (using “inspect”) that there should actually be a dropdown combo box for Grouped Calendars Manual selection with option values. And after intense careful viewing there is a very, very faint box border with nothing as an initial value. Clicking in that box brings up the selection option values. I had to get my eyes within 10 inches to see the box outline, it’s not visible at a distance further than that even with my high-rez monitor.

Why oh why does every other box on a calendar admin page have a noticeable outline around it, except the Grouped Calendars Manual selection one? For consistency’s sake either all the boxes should have borders too faint to see, or all should have a noticeable border.

Ticket submitted via email.

Thank you, John. I appreciate it.

Found some information here; am wondering if this is a Chrome browser issue.

Hi John,

I’m back in town.

Clean install of WordPress, default theme (Twenty-TwentyThree). Inactive plugins: “Classic Widgets” & “WPMU DEV Dashboard”. Only active plugins are “Classic Editor” and “Simple Calendar”. Latest versions for everything. Browser is Chrome.

No content on the site. Only posts are for two feeder calendars and an (attempted) grouped calendar. No additional css anywhere.

Each feeder google calendar pulls events properly.

The grouped calendar setting “Get Calendars From” has no drop-down choices for “Manual selection”.

On using Chrome’s “inspect” ability on the Simple Calendar admin page for the grouped calendar, am again seeing 6 warnings for Simple Calendar, to wit:

1. A form field element should have an id or name attribute
   1. A form field element has neither an?id?nor a?name?attribute. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form.To fix this issue, add a unique?id?or?name?attribute to a form field. This is not strictly needed, but still recommended even if you have an autocomplete attribute on the same element.

and 4 errors

1. Incorrect use of <label for=”FORM_ELEMENT”></label>
   1. The label’s?for?attribute doesn’t match any element?id. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form and accessibility tools from working correctly.To fix this issue, make sure the label’s?for?attribute references the correct?id?of a form field.
   2. AFFECTED RESOURCES
      1. 4 resources
         1. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbles_action”>Event Bubbles</label>== $0
         2. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_list_grouped_span”>Span</label>== $0
         3. Violating node <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbles_action”>Expand Multi-day Events</label>== $0
         4. Violating node<label for=”_calendar_timezone_setting”>Timezone</label>== $0

I am stumped, unless there is a way to add some code to add an id to the Simple Calendar formfield elements.

BTW, given that any grouped calendar draws from other calendars with a google feed, would it not be more efficient to make all calendars “grouped” and just accept 1-to-n google calendar ids?

If it would help, I could give you temporary admin privileges on the site https://miningandsmeltingmuseum.net/, since it currently is not in active development. Not sure how to provide you those without exposing the site to the public, however.

Thank you for your help. Hoping to get some insight on this problem, as Simple Calendar is my go-to calendar for all my sites.

I’m pretty tied up this week but will see what I can do. Thank you for keeping on this. It’s very puzzling. This is the only calendar plugin I’ve tried, so there should be no interference with anything else. Give me 3-10 days to work on this; I’ll be tied up solid for this coming weekend and a few days before.

Enabled Twenty-Twenty-Three. Still no dropdown to enable grouping.

   2. AFFECTED RESOURCES
      1. 4 resources

So it seems that Chrome can’t find the options for the grouped calendar drop-down. I have drop-downs for other parts of the site (not from Simple Calendar) that work.

Thank you for taking a look at this. I am totally stumped.

Hi John,

Thank you for the follow-up. Don’t know that it should make a difference, but the site is using the Customizr Pro theme from PressCustomizer.com, and php 7.4. When I have time I will see about deleting all the calendars and starting from scratch. Years ago on another site I first set up a calendar with google calendar then later tried to switch to a group calendar. Same type of error — no dropdown on the group calendar configuration. Can’t remember why I deleted all the calendars (frustration, likely) but on the second go-around starting with a grouped calendar, it worked.

Thanks again for the help, and for a very nice plugin.

Sorry, didn’t hear from you for a few days and the client was getting ansy so I re-enabled them.

They are disabled again. You can see the grouped calendar on the left sidebar on all but the front page, and one of the feeder calendars here: https://astronomycamp.info/calendar/astronomy-events-feeder/. Of course, I was unable to choose a feeder for the grouped calendar since that drop-down box doesn’t drop down.

Running latest versions of WordPress & Simple Calendar.

Hi Jon,

I disabled all plugins except Simple Calendar. On “inspect” of the admin page for Simple Calendar (Chrome), the following error is being thrown x 4:

Incorrect use of <label for=FORM_ELEMENT><label for=”FORM_ELEMENT”></label>

The label’s?for?attribute doesn’t match any element?id. This might prevent the browser from correctly autofilling the form and accessibility tools from working correctly. To fix this issue, make sure the label’s?for?attribute references the correct?id?of a form field.

There are 4 instances of a “Violating node”:

1. <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbless_action”>Event Bubbles</label>”
2. <label for=”_default_calendar_list_grouped_span”>Span</label> == $0″
3. <label for=”_default_calendar_event_bubbless_action”>Expand Multi-day Events</label> == $0″
4. <label for=”_calendar_timezone_setting”>Timezone</label> == $0″

Do I need to edit the plugin and assign formfield ids to something?

Thank you, John. I will work on chasing things down over the weekend. Tied up with dental & other stuff next 3 days.

Yes, I did that. The dropdown field to select calendars doesn’t drop down. Do I need a particular version of PHP? I’m running 7.4.

span.simcal-day-label.simcal-day-number?{
font-size: 30px;
}

In the page / post in which the calendar is defined, try:

[if-not-whole-day][start-time] to?[end-time][/if-not-whole-day]
[if-title][title][/if-title]
[if-description][description][/if-description]
