Thanks Nico for the reply.
I went with get_results() as I need to use a foreach cycle anyway.

$querystr = "
	SELECT $wpdb->posts.*
	FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->postmeta
	WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id
	AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = '_EventStartDate'
	AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value > NOW()
	AND $wpdb->posts.post_title LIKE '%".$search."%'
	AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish'
	AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = 'tribe_events'
	ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value DESC
 ";
$child_posts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT_K);

As far as I can see tribe_get_events() doesn’t let me search.

Thanks again and All the Best,

Hi Barry,

some news:

I manned up and disabled every plugin except for The Events Calendar, The Events Calendar PRO and Event Rocket. “Array” still kept on showing up.

Then I started to have the impression that I can reliably get “Array” appear if I reload the site quickly after a previous loading.

For curiosity, I’ve set 'cache' to 0. It seems this has effectively cured the problem. (Knocking on wood loudly!)

What could be wrong with the underlying caching mechanism…?

Good Lord. Today I saw those emojis replacing utf-8 characters on our site and I immediately thought my boss had hired someone else to edit the templates and I was fired.
I think is not funny to roll out a change that will alter the looks of thousands of sites overnight.

Hello Barry,

I have applied the changes that you had suggested, and unfortunately, I ran into the “Array” problem right after. It is still sporadic.
I’m afraid I will not be able to disable the other plugins, at least not for an extended period of time, which would be necessary for testing if the problem ever comes back.
I was trying to dive into your code and see where an array could be returned at all. No hit.
Do you think another plugin may be filtering the output?

Great, thank you, it seems to work with from="now".
I guess this info would be a good addition to the wiki.

Hello and Thanks for the reply.
I’m not familiar with the inner workings of the plugin, however, does it make sense to say that completely regardless of the end of day cutoff, events that are over shall not be displayed (say, an event that has ended at 1AM shouldn’t show up at 4PM) any more?

Ah, sorry for the silence.
So it stops at the bottom – that actually makes sense. ??
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply.
Actually, it is more off in Firefox (most of the sidebar is scrolled away before it stops) and quite acceptable in Chrome (only the first widget’s title is scrolled off the screen).

Thanks for the reply.
I guess it was sort of wishful thinking when I was reading “Looking for additional functionality including recurring events, ticket sales, publicly submitted events, new views, Facebook event integration and more? Check out the available add-ons.” and I assumed these are simple features that are to be enabled by addons. It didn’t occur to me that I would have to pay for those addons, perhaps also because the named features are not extraordinary or exotic, rather basic.
My presumption is that it will be easy for me to find a truly free plugin that offers these services.

Lo and behold: yep!
It’ so fixed.
Thanks a lot Huntly!

Same page,
look like this here:

Nope ??
(plus I got an error “Could not create event! HELP!!” when I tried to change the name of an event and save it, but I cannot reproduce this one)
FYI, this is WP version 3.5.1–hu_HU

Yes, exactly. Of course, when I save the messed up title, it’s saved as it is, messed up.

Howdy Huntly,

it’s alrite, i’m pretty familiar with SQL.
I’ve checked and the table and both textual fields are utf8_general_ci.
I have also created an event by SQL, and I think I have found some clue: with perfectly good data in the table, Event Title is displayed scrambled in Edit Event (and only there). So the characters must get messed up when displayed not when saved.

Hello Huntly,

thanks for the reply. I’m adding a new event and inserting a title with accented characters. Right after pressing “Update Event” the title gets messed up. The content of “Extra Event Info” stays intact.
It seems that every time I update the event the title gets messed up further.
