Events+ not behaving as I would expect

I have a multisite installation with Events+ activated for all subsites.

I have been testing it and it is not behaving as I would expect.

For example:

1. I created 2 events in August, but only 1 is showing on http://www.mysite.com/events/

2. The event shows the date it was created, not the event date (see screen shot attached in comments) – this is a major problem and will be very confusing for site visitors

3. If I click through to a month with no events via the breadcrumbs I get a page that says no posts found and then displays the blog post categories, not the event categories.

4. If I manually enter a URL for an event I get a mess of a page that moves my right sidebar all the way to the left, the background is black (should be white) and there is no content

5. on one subsite the event page is also showing a blog post at the bottom.

This is just a small selection of the issues I’ve been experiencing.

Is this plugin actually ready to be used in a production environment? Can someone please assist me to resolve all this buggy behaviour please?

    Hello there,

    Greetings and thanks for posting on the forums.

    1. I created 2 events in August, but only 1 is showing on http://www.mysite.com/events/

    I will need a link to the site to see what is going on. Can you provide screenshot of both the events you have created (Click edit event and then take a screenshot)

    2. The event shows the date it was created, not the event date (see screen shot attached in comments) – this is a major problem and will be very confusing for site visitors

    That is a default theme feature and not controlled by the plugin as Events+ is a custom post type.

    So the theme is showing the posted date on the events page (as it would do for any other post type)

    You can however hide that using some CSS

    3. If I click through to a month with no events via the breadcrumbs I get a page that says no posts found and then displays the blog post categories, not the event categories.

    What are the appearance settings of plugin ? Can you give me a screenshot ?

    Events >> Settings >> Appearance settings

    4. If I manually enter a URL for an event I get a mess of a page that moves my right sidebar all the way to the left, the background is black (should be white) and there is no content

    Can I see that in action please ?

    5. on one subsite the event page is also showing a blog post at the bottom.

    I will need a screenshot of the appearance settings. Perhaps you have selected the Archive template as blog archive instead of plugin default.

    Is this plugin actually ready to be used in a production environment? Can someone please assist me to resolve all this buggy behaviour please?

    The plugin is indeed ready to be used in a live environment and is one of the most sold plugins. Its just about how its setup on your site.

    We will get things fixed together.

    Cheers

    Thank you so much for the quick response – much appreciated. And I look forward to working with you to get this all sorted out.

    1. Attached image events1.jpg shows the events I've created. events2.jpg shows the events page only showing 1 event (URL is in the image of you want to check it out)

    I just discovered that if I click through to mysite.com/events/2013 it shows all the events. But that's no use as I want to add the mysite.com/events/ link to my nav menu and have it display the current events.

    2. thanks – I'll dig in the css and fix that

    3. attached events3.jpg shows the subsite with no events. The Crystal Healing category is a blog post category, not an events one. Appearance settings for this subsite is events4.jpg

    Another question – how do I get the mysite.com/events page to show a calendar, rather than the list?

    Ok – that is a start – I'll go and pull together more info for you now.

    Thanks!

    Hello @bluekimberlite

    Sorry for the delay in response as I was away for a couple of days due to severe migraine.

    But that’s no use as I want to add the mysite.com/events/ link to my nav menu and have it display the current events.

    Can you click on “override default appearance” under Appearance settings ? What all addons have you got activated ?

    3. attached events3.jpg shows the subsite with no events. The Crystal Healing category is a blog post category, not an events one. Appearance settings for this subsite is events4.jpg

    Overriding the default appearance will help here. I think I should have a closer look at the issue.

    Hiya,

    I just tested the site.

    Visited the Events page and here is a screenshot of what I see.

    There are 2 events created and it shows both of them both on the My-events and Events archive page.

    Previously it was only showing one as one event was in draft, I published that and it shows up fine.

    Kindly check and advise where the next problem is.

    If you Can't post the links on the thread, just send them over the email I am just going to respond to.

    Cheers
