Hi, thanks so much for the kind review. We are adding some testimonials to our website time.ly, we would love to include your quote. Could you please email [email protected] with your quote and headshot (we’d like to include pictures) as confirmation please. Glad you are enjoying the plugin ?? Thanks, the Timely team.

Hi @skubko,

Glad to hear that it worked for you. We currently don’t support vertical alignment by center in the month cells but you can still center events horizontally if you want. Just remove the second line from that CSS fix so it looks like:

#ai1ec-calendar td {
   vertical-align: top !important;
}

Hope it helps,
Pavel.

Hi @skubko,

I noticed there’s a CSS conflict between your site’s theme and the calendar. There are CSS rules in your WP theme that force central alignment in all table cells.

Please, add this to your CSS file, it should fix the issue:

#ai1ec-calendar td {
   vertical-align: top !important;
   text-align: left !important;
}

Hi kdunham,

Our views are not fully responsive. Agenda, Stream and Posterboard adapt to small screens well but Month and Week views don’t.

One possible workaround is placing to calendars on one page and setting different views for them (ex. Month for desktop and Stream for mobile). One of them can be shown and other one is hidden with CSS. Of course it will make the page loading slower, will increase the traffic and not an ideal solution.

A good way to help us prioritise a feature (like making views responsive) would be creating an idea here: https://ideas.time.ly/ so other people can vote for it or add comments. We appreciate if you decide to help us by creating an “idea” there.

Hey Andrew,

That extension is used by the plugin and if missing it can cause some problems (mostly when you switch the views or change dates). We added this warning just to prevent possible bugs that may appear when “mbstring” is not installed.

Usually, it’s installed along with some other PHP extensions by default, but it’s missing in some configurations. To install this extension, please, contact your hosting provider or system administrator who’s responsible for server software updates. In most cases it’s an easy job for them to add it.

If your Calendar works well you can safely ignore this message. It supposed to be dismissible but we heard from our users that it appears all the time – we are going to fix that in the upcoming release.

Best regards,
Pavel.

Hi

Yeah, I can see that all JS works there now and can see some traces of your TOC plugin there (css file and some comments in HTML). Usually we keep all what our plugin adds to the page very isolated, and in most cases it doesn’t interferer with other add-ons.

Can you please contact the TOC plugin authors? Maybe they have similar issues with other shortcodes as well. Perhaps, it’s something wrong on their side. If not – let us know please, we’ll do our best to fix it ASAP.

Best regards,
Pavel.

Hey WebCodex,

Thank you for pointing on that issue! I could reproduce it on my phone and it’s definitely a bug. We’ll take care of that and I hope to see it fixed in the upcoming update. Created a “bug” in our bug tracking system, so it won’t be lost =)

Best,

Pavel.

Hey Siegfried

Have you updated your plugin to the latest version? It’s currently 2.3.10
There were a couple of issues related to Shorcodes fixed in 2.3.9, so it should work fine.

If you updated and shortcode still doesn’t work, please try to clear you cache, deactivate and activate plugins again. If you still have trouble after trying that all – please send us more technical details about your current install and detailed description how to reproduce the problem. You can use our [email protected] email (mentioning the link to this topic there) in case if you want to share with us some technical details that you would like to keep private.

Hope you’ll have this issue sorted out ASAP!

Regards,
Pavel.

P.S.

Please, notice that this topic is about “options” not working in Shortcodes. And it was resolved. If your shortcodes don’t work at all or you have other issues than described in this topic, please create a new one. Thanks.

Hey Pete468,

Great to know that you have it fixed! Let us know please if you occasionally find any details about the technique you used and why it didn’t work.

Thanks!

Pavel.

Hi Pete468

Have you seen this error on your site?
`<br />
<b>Warning</b>: require(/var/sites/m/maryray.co.uk/public_html/wp/wp/wp-blog-header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/var/sites/m/maryray.co.uk/public_html/wp/index.php</b> on line <b>17</b><br />
<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: require(): Failed opening required ‘/var/sites/m/maryray.co.uk/public_html/wp/wp/wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/newage/lib/php’) in <b>/var/sites/m/maryray.co.uk/public_html/wp/index.php</b> on line <b>17</b><br />
`

I guess it shows now instead of “Silence is golden”.
Are these paths correct? ...public_html/wp/wp/wp-blog-header..

Did you do that that trick with ‘require wp-blog-header’ on other sites with Timely Calendar installed and it worked?

Best regards,
Pavel.

Pete468,

Not sure what is the practice for it, but great that you found it.

justinvdv,

Glad to hear that it works for you!

Resolving this topic, if you have any such issues – please raise an idea on https://ideas.time.ly/ – it will help us to get more info from other users and to prioritize any work on that.

Thanks!

Hey Pete468,

I just looked on your site and instead of loading correct JS (that’s needed for expanding, changing views, etc) there’s such response from server:

<!–?php // Silence is golden. ?–>

I can’t tell definitely where it comes from. If it’s a bug on our side – we’ll fix it. Please try to re-save calendar settings (even without changing anything there) and if it doesn’t help, try to disabled “Advanced JS Cache” from the Advanced tab of the settings. No guarantees that it will work, at least it shouldn’t break anything else =)

If it still doesn’t work, please change your .htaccess (or any plugins that are allowed to take control over it) to make sure that there are no strange redirects or anything there. (Just skip it if it sounds too complicated and send your info (.htaccess files, etc) to Benjamin at [email protected] – we’ll try to dig a bit deeper into it.

Btw, check our Agenda widget (it’s included in free version and accessible in Widget Creator) – maybe it will do a better job on your website for an Agenda sidebar.

Please, also check to which page your default calendar is set to. (In Events->Settings -> View), I see some https://maryray.co.uk/wp/ page but it’s blank when I try to access it. That can be an issue, as calendar tries to load the data it needs from this page. Try to change the calendar page to your default Home page. That might work!

Thanks!
And let us know please if the problem persists.
Pavel.

Hi guys,

It can be either or server configuration issue (like old PHP version, some modules not installed by default, etc) or it can be a bug in the code of the plugin. We can just try to give some advice in the first case, and if it’s a bug on our side – we’ll our best to fix it ASAP.

You could really help us to find the origin of the issues you experience by providing more technical details about your configuration. “phpinfo()” and “.htaccess” would be nice to look into first.

For your privacy reasons, please DON’T post private technical details (except very simple, like PHP version) here, but instead send it to our [email protected] mentioning the link to this topic. That will help us to do some better investigation.

Thanks a lot for your help and patience!
Pavel.

P.S

justinvdv, when you see “Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <“, is there’s something where you can click to expand the details? I’m just curious what was after “<” there and how it happened ??

Hi domtom123,

Of course it’s big =) We have to support a lot of our add-ons (free and paid) and still keep easy to maintain. We use some third party frameworks inside, like Bootstrap or jQuery that also adds some weight. We constantly working on reducing the size of files and speed improvements. But there’s always a lot of things to optimize. We have long list of ideas, what can be cut, what can be refactored and we keep working on that.

Actually, your page loads very fast visually, I don’t see any serious reason to worry about. Please make sure that you use Advanced JS cache, gzip and Frontend Rendering. And, of course if you don’t need Extended Views it will save some weight.

Also if you noticed Agenda view loads images and description, even when collapsed (we know that can be improved ). So if you are looking for a faster page load maybe you can save on images rather than JS by using Stream view (if it looks good enough for your purposes). Just an idea.

We have improved JS caching (and much more ) in 2.3.8 & 2.3.9 release – it should work much better than before.

Thank you for letting us know about the speed issues, you are always welcome to raise an “idea” here https://ideas.time.ly/ as we use it to decided what will be fixed or improved next.

Pavel.

Hello

We know that putting it in the bottom will be great (in some cases), but it doesn’t work well with our add-ons sometimes, so we can’t make a decision to bring it there by default yet. As you might know we have a lot of add-ons and also provide hosted plans – so we have to consider them all before making such change. And some users still would prefer to leave it in header, as far as I know.

Would you like to see an option somewhere in the settings that adds it to the end of page rather then to head? If so, please create an idea here https://ideas.time.ly/ It will help us to collect feedback from other users and to prioritize it.

Thanks!
Pavel.
