holy smokes… ok… all this time and i went exploring – again – perhaps with cleaner glasses or something… and found…. ARCHIVES TURNED OFF??? oh good grief.

https://www.marymurphy.ca/upcoming-shows/2014-shows-archive/

you can see the shortcode right on the page… well, I can… just in case you can’t, it’s [events_list_grouped year="2014" mode="monthly" pagination="1"][/events_list_grouped]

and on this page: https://www.marymurphy.ca/upcoming-shows/
i’m using this:

[events_list_grouped?year="2016" mode="monthly" pagination="1"]#_EVENTLINK - #_EVENTDATES at #_EVENTTIMES
[/events_list_grouped]

[events_list_grouped?year="2015" mode="monthly" pagination="1"]#_EVENTLINK - #_EVENTDATES at #_EVENTTIMES
[/events_list_grouped]

which you CANNOT see, unless i also put CONTENTS on that page.

For whatever reason the calendar shows up and works fine…
my client is LOSING IT over this… and i am utterly stumped.
thank you

i am still having this problem with ALL EM shortcodes.

also, i get zero print-out with shortcodes alone, and if i put “CONTENTS” on the page, i can see the shortcode itself… but no Contents whatsoever…

this is now WP 4.5.1 with the latest EM version(5.6.4)… i also uninstalled latest and reinstalled 2 versions previous (5.6.3 & 5.6.2) – this did not help.

i think, for me, its a server issue because i am running the same combination on another server and it works just fine… i don’t know enough to know what’s different on the servers…

ok got the dev version 5.6.3.1 – still no change.

it won’t recognize any shortcodes, period.
i’ve got a listing of events… in backwards order (oldest first – no matter what i do it won’t change order)…
and have managed to get the “calendar” to appear – which is probably what i’ll leave for now as at least it’s relatively current.

client likes to display past events… none of those shortcodes are working.

where do we get 5.6.3.1 – or is it the same as 5.6.3 ?

because i have this same problem… and i’m not sure when it started.
i removed 5.6.3 and reinstalled 5.6.2 and that didn’t help…
currently have 5.6.3 installed and no joy.

and yes, upgraded to wp 4.5, have tested plugin conflicts, nothing seems to help.

so has this come to fruition yet?
i’m assuming the 2 column layout of blog page is buried in masonry or bootstrap somewhere… do we need to upgrade to pro to get this available without rewriting core code?

really want a single column blog with sidebar…

thanks

hi – don’t close this ticket! I’m having the same problem.

same issues exactly…
in my case, tho, i turned off all plugins and retested one by one – there seems to be a conflict with ‘WP Simple Pay Lite for Stripe’

that is the end of my ability to trouble shoot ??

over to you!

agree completely with the need for this… we are using your widget for upcoming events… and when there is nothing coming up, it would be great for it say “sorry, nothing available right now” or better yet, be able to customize that in the widget depending on the context needed!

our client does not want to learn how to update/add/change widgets… so being able to automate the function that there is nothing available would be super helpful.

someone else narrowed down the issue…

no smileys! (i had inadvertently included one… would never have thought to check that!)

further event testing is proving this to be accurately resolved.

HA!! THAT is exactly the problem! THANK YOU… wow… weird.

having the same problem here… using the CONTENTS placeholder…

and had a weird thing with drafts, too, they would NOT publish…

only the event that was published BEFORE updating will appear on my page at the moment… https://www.comoxvalleyarts.com/community-calendar/

i decided to try just replacing the edit.php and adding back in some of my customizations…

this is SORT OF working… here are the remaining problems:

a) duplicate field for bio, when i add a wp_editor to the bio textarea field
one has the full html editor with tool bar etc, and the duplicate below has the tinymce visual/text toggle, which toggles the OTHER field…

i’m sure its MY code that’s no compatible now:

<?php if ( 'textarea' == bp_get_the_profile_field_type() ) : ?>

					<?php //if( "bio"|| "295" || "897" == strtolower(bp_get_the_profile_field_name()) ) :
                          // TEXT EDITOR ADDITION
                          $content = html_entity_decode( bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value() );
                          //$content = bp_get_the_profile_field_edit_value();
                          $settings = array( 'media_buttons' => false,
                                             'teeny' => true,
                                             'textarea_rows' => 20,
											 'editor_class' => ""  );

                          wp_editor( $content, bp_get_the_profile_field_input_name(), $settings );
                    ?>
					<?php //endif; ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

and b)
i have a facebook field… nothing i do will make it save… it gives an error every time
There was a problem updating some of your profile information; please try again.
i also have twitter & website url fields…
all three are “website(html5)” field types… but the twitter & website url ones work just fine…
i even added a NEW facebook field and it won’t work either.
i thought maybe it was the https:// that was not being accepted, but even with https:// it still won’t save.

other than that – i think i can live with it…

any suggestions on these two issues would be very much appreciated.

i don’t know if this will help anyone, but we use this in our members-loop.php and it works very nicely.

/* My Custom Member Query to order alphabetical by default */
function my_query_filter_new ( $query_string ) {
    $query_string .= '&per_page=36&type=alphabetical';
    return $query_string;
}
add_filter( 'bp_ajax_querystring', 'my_query_filter_new' );

i’m afraid just now i cannot find the credit for where i got that little snipped… but will find and post (and add in to our code!).

i think i might love you.

thank you!

you have a couple options:

you can code it… as per what you found about “thumbnail” size – there are similar functions you can add here.

that can get a little tricky – but since you’re already delving into code, you may find it fun ??

alternatively, you could add some css (to a child theme of course)…

your current css is:

img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
vertical-align: top;
}

So, currently your images automatically display at 100% of their original width, and the height is automatic.

If you want all your images to be, for example, 250px WIDE and 125px HIGH, you can control that by css – HOWEVER – you will end up with distortion unless all your images are ALSO the same aspect ratio (in this case 1:2) More info

and there is no argument for distorting images… just sayin.

anyway – if you still want to force all your images to be the same size, change that css above with something like:

img {
width: XXXpx;
height: YYYpx;
vertical-align: top;
}

that will force your images to be X by Y, no matter what their original dimensions.

a better approach might be to ONLY set ONE dimension – so all images are XXXpx WIDE OR YYYpx HIGH… then the aspect ratio will remain the same at least, and the only distortion will be the clarity of the image.

keep in mind that making an image BIGGER than its original size will always look bad. It’s not so dicey getting SMALLER, but either way, you don’t want to stretch it into a disproportionate size.
