Thank you so much for posting, rockdio! While it doesn’t solve the problem, it at least gives me a solid lead on fixing it.

Btw your is probably the fifth or sixth post on this topic that I had to look through to find something approximating a solution. NONE of them are linked together to give a better chance on figuring out what the problem is.

As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic. Your problem – despite any similarity in symptoms – is likely to be completely different.

Imagine a doctor discovering dozens of people showing the same set of symptoms, but concluding it couldn’t possibly be the same disease!

Here are some of the other posts on ‘unrelated’ problems:

Works great! Thanks!

In this case the event is new but recurring from its inception–probably not a combination you foresaw. To reproduce the error, paste into your functions.php the following code:


add_action( 'init', 'add_parev_filter' );

function add_parev_filter() {
add_filter('eventorganiser_get_event_schedule', 'parev_meta_xfer', 10, 2);
}

Follow this code with the parev_meta_xfer function here, but change this line
$dow_array = convert2eoDays( explode(',',$_GET['dow']) );
to this
$dow_array = explode(',',$_GET['dow']);.

From an administrative screen paste this into the URL box:

https://yourwpsiteurl.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=event&post_title=Bible%20Study&content=We%20meet%20in%20the%20conference%20room.&excerpt=We%20meet%20in%20the%20conference%20room.&post_cat=meeting&schedule=weekly&dow=MO&start=18:30&end=20:00

This will bring up the New Event screen with the Event Details fields pre-populated. Now press Publish and in the reloaded screen, the error will appear:

Event dates were not saved.
Start date not provided.

The Event Details will have been cleared too.

(I hope this shows okay. It’d be nice to have a preview available before posting!)

Thanks, Stephen. That makes sense.

Is there any way that I can set this box checked/unchecked programmatically? It would be a big help for my plugin that interacts with yours–my users aren’t going to think of checking that box before hitting Publish, and then EO thinks the start date hasn’t been set and gives an error.

This fellow has kindly summarized a number of other posts on the mystery ID=0 user here.

(There is also a post that proposes a solution. Unfortunately I’m not going to have a chance to try it for some time.)

It would be great to have support on this issue from the developer.

I’m wondering the same thing.

(I’m further wondering why someone posted this question one year ago in exactly the same words.)

fuzegraphics, it worked! Thank you! Not only is the link unclickable, but the cursor is appropriately not the pointer that indicates it’s hovering over a link.

Do we still need the plugin? Was this trick only made possible recently?

So, just to summarize, one can in Appearance > Menus make a non-clickable menu item by creating a Custom Link with “#” as the URL. Once the item is added to the list of menu items, one can delete the # from the URL, leaving a blank URL. (Save the menu, of course.) Then the new item appears in your menu as unclickable text. Brilliant!

Thanks again to both passive-house and fuzegraphics!

That is a great tip, passive-house. Thanks! And thanks to fuzegraphics for the addition! I’m looking forward to trying those out.

Now the only problem is getting the cursor to be default instead of pointer. A little javascript should do the trick… but might it be possible with only CSS?

Your situation as you describe it is exactly like mine–but mine works. You’re going to have to be much more specific about your situation (context, setup). Are all these resources on the same server/at the same domain?
