Hello @webnus,

I tried the steps you suggested, and I read the articles you suggest, but the steps did nothing and the articles don’t really address the issue.

To state it differently: is the Modern Events Calendar Lite plugin compatible with Divi?

or

How can I add the Page Attributes options box to the individual events pages so that I might use the “blank” template? Is this possible without customizing the plugin code?

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks, @scott8035! I’ll give that a shot next time this comes up.

For now, I found a StackExchange post that gave me a four-line snippet to put in functions.php:

function codelight_content_export($content) {
 return wpautop($content);
}
add_filter('the_content_export', 'codelight_content_export', 999);

Worked like a charm, near as I can tell.

Hmmm… forgive me, @scott8035, but I must be a bit dense. I’ve installed fix-wordpress-export-wpautop.php to the root of my WP install (same directory as wp-config.php)… and now what? When I put it into my browser (https://mysite.com/fix-wordpress-export-wpautop.php), I just get a white screen.

Thanks, @scott8035 — much obliged for the swift response.

Maybe your file could become a plugin? At least until Automattic gets their act together on the import / export tool..?

Either way, again, thanks for the work.

@scott8035 — pretty nifty; and I’ll say (even before I try it) that I appreciate the effort, as I’ve got a client project going that presents this very problem.

Just have one critical question before I try to use it on my client’s five hundred posts:

Is the php file you created run independently, outside of WordPress? Where should the file be installed on my server?

Thanks again for the hard work, and thanks in advance for your response.

On the direct link to the calendar event, as you requested. Here’s a screenshot:

And here’s the full page (with category filters manually cleared — see my other thread).

The event that should have been excluded can be seen with the stand-alone event that was created to replace it.

May 1st was marked to be excluded.

I’ve been experimenting… it appears that it’s the link from the Calendar widget that’s causing the issue… but even with all categories shown on the widget, the Calendar page is now only showing one filtered category. It should show ALL.

Best result: when one visits the calendar page, it shows all events and does not allow the end user to filter out anything. Is that an option..?

Hi Pim — I was following the directions the plugin provides immediately after import:

1) Save permalinks twice
2) Leave a review

The fact remains: the plugin is a black box that doesn’t give any clue as to what went wrong. Perhaps a future version could include some better user experience flow?

NICE. Thanks, Mika.

I tried the removal tool a week ago and I’m still getting hit by them.

Any suggestions for someone (me!) running nginx rather than Apache? I don’t have an .htaccess file..!

After crickets here, I restored from backup as well, @tomgccc. Fortunately, I only had to recreate a single post and a little block of CSS to restore things that fell between the cracks.

The glitch (and subsequent lack of a response here) has me re-thinking W3TC’s viability. The experience has certainly ruled out my ever upgrading to Pro.

Update — I figured out what was causing the problem — it’s the css I’ve added that’s causing the odd, sudden end to the fade-out. Here’s my css:

.vegas-background {
opacity:0.45;
filter:alpha(opacity=45); /* For IE8 and earlier */
}

I’ve worked around the issue by using an semi-transparent overlay image, but I’d rather do it with CSS. Any ideas?

Seconded!
