Thank you very much for verifying this and for the translation. I’ve just posted version 3.7.9 of the plugin with your translation.

Thank you so much @alexclassroom. I’ve set up a test blog and deployed this change. You can access it here: https://www.zackgrossbart.com/extras/trunk/wp-admin/edit.php?page=cal

Please take a look and let me know if everything looks good. If it all looks good I’ll release this with a new version of the plugin.

Start by looking at the edcal_filter_where function in edcal.php. That’s where we build the query that filters which posts show up in the calendar.

Thank you for the explanation @criserjjio. I understand what you’re looking for.

The calendar doesn’t support using a different field for the date. It would be possible, but it would be a lot of custom code. I can point you in the right direction if you’d like.

Can you please give me some more details about what you’re looking for. Are you saying that you want to use the Editorial Calendar for something other than WordPress posts?

Hello @criserjjio,

Changing the date field to be a custom field is possible, but it would be a lot of work. You should also be aware that there are multiple dates that WordPress posts use. There’s a published date, a scheduled date, and a created date. Do you want to change all of them?

I could give you some pointers for where to start changing the code for the calendar if you’re interested.

Thank you for using the calendar. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it.

Can you please let me know more about the issue that you’re seeing. Are there errors in Firefox? Does the post just not show up? What do you mean about a sponsored post? Is that a post type or a post category?

Does the test blog look correct for you in Firefox?

This sounds like you’re having a different problem. Some themes install extra jQuery plugins in all of the admin pages where they can cause problems. You need to contact the creator of your theme and ask them to fix this issue.

Can you try this with a default theme?

Are you using a different theme?

@luludak, have you upgraded to the latest version of the Calendar plugin? We did have an issue with the new version of WordPress, but was fixed in the latest version. You can see it working our test blog here:

I’m glad you found the solution. Good sleuthing.

Hello Iden,

I’m not familiar with the Cooked plugin so I don’t know how they manage their posts. In general the calendar will show up for each custom post type so if they use custom post types then that should work. Otherwise it would require some code changes to the calendar, the Cooked plugin, or possibly both to support what you’re looking for.

Thank you for using the Editorial Calendar. I’m sorry you’re having trouble with it.

This error is normally caused by a JavaScript conflict with another plugin on your blog. Have you recently installed any new plugins or themes or upgraded any of your existing plugins or themes?

That’s great work @michavo73. I’m glad you found it.

You might want to to reach out to the creators of those plugins and ask them to not inject JavaScript changes in the WordPress admin pages. It’s very likely that they will break other plugins as well.
