Hello, I am trying to use the modern events calendar. I can see the calendar overview, but when I go to the specific event, it brings me to this page. I think it has something to do with the permalink from what I’ve read, but I haven’t been able to troubleshoot the problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Raymond,
Thanks for reaching out.
It seems that you are using a separate plugin named Moder Event Calendar Lite which does not come with our theme as a bundled plugin. Although I have checked that the problem arises due to the permalink settings and the Events does not work if the permalink set to %postname%, it only works if that set to Plain. I would suggest you activate the Modern Event Calendar and check if that works, if that does not work, please let us know for further investigation.
Thanks
Hello @tristup, I activated the Modern Events Calendar (I had already done so previously, as the events were located there) again. The same problem persists. I did create another event in MEC, just to make sure, but it just duplicated and has the same problem, as it still brings me to the same error page from my previous posting.
Hello Raymond,
It might be the issue of version compatibility, I noticed that your Pro theme is not updated. Please make sure that the theme and plugin are updated as per our version compatibility page.
Hope it helps
Thanks
Hi @prakash_s, thank you for your help. I am now having a few other issues.
- When I updated the theme and put the permalink on plain, that seemed to allow me to access the individual event pages. However, now I can’t access the actual event calendar page through the events link and I can not figure out how to configure it to do so. I’ve changed the MEC slug to “events” so it should be working, but I am missing something. Right now, I have to go to http://rayhin2.dreamhosters.com/?mec-events to see the events and I would like it to just be rayhin2.dreamhosters.com/events.
- When I get to the events page, it now shows differently than before, and instead of showing the list view with options for yearly, monthly, weekly, & daily, it just shows large images of each event. It looks like I have it configured to list on MEC though.
- Lastly, I need to remove the “BLOG” & tan header on the page so it just has the event. I would like to have this removed for all events, without having to do it for every single event.
Thank you!
I also noticed that when I changed the permalink to “plain” instead of “post name”, none of my links have names (they go from a “/reclaim-kids” slug to a random number. I need the custom slugs, so what would be the workaround for integrating with MEC?
I was able to solve most of the problems, with the exception of removing the header on the actual events. Can you let me know how that can be removed on each event so I do not have to go into individual events to try and do so.
For those who may have run into a similar problem as myself, I am using the church theme and they renamed the portfolio, “events”, which causes a conflict with Modern Events Calendar. Once I changed the name, the calendar worked fine. When I changed the permalink to plain, it did work, but then I couldn’t customize the slugs. By changing the portfolio name, I am able to keep everything custom.
Hi Raymond,
Glad that you can resolve the issue and share it with others. If we understand your point on removing the heading, you want to remove the Header section that shows the BLOG.
If that is correct you can remove that by creating a new Header using Header builder and assign it to the Post Type or Event.
I would suggest you go through the following articles on how to use the Header builder and assign it.
Or else you can add the following custom CSS code into the Theme Options > CSS to remove the section you want.
.single-mec-events .x-header-landmark
{
display:none !important;
}
Please remember that the above code will work if copied as it is and doesn’t conflict with any existing style.
Please note that the code provided serves only as a guide to help you get started custom coding on your own if there’s no option offered in our theme or the products we bundle.
We do not provide custom codes that mean we can’t fix it if it conflicts with something on your site nor will we enhance it.
Thanks
Hi @tristup, I appreciate this. I was able to completely remove the header, but I’m only wanting to remove the “blog” bar, not the menu. However, when I assign the condition, it removes both. Right now I’m searching for ways to replicate the menu header so I can then use that as a condition and achieve the desired result, but I can not find how to copy the menu header as a template anywhere. Everything I’m reading is how to change the current menu on a page, but nothing to simply to isolate it.
Hello Raymond,
If that is the case, please check out these old threads:
- Remove landmark header in Renew stack, without CSS
- Remove .x header landmark
- Remove .x-header-landmark from specific pages/archives
- Remove Blog Title Header
- How to remove/hide page title "Events" in Modern Events Calendar
One of the solutions could help you retain the default menu navigation in the header while getting rid of just the “Blog” bar.
Please let us know which one works for you.
