Event spanning multiple days

Resolved dbigca

Hello,
I have an empty page that Events Manager is targeting to display a calendar, so no shortcodes, etc. are being used. On that page displays the calendar with events, but events that span multiple days are only displaying on the start date.

How do I display the full span on each day the event takes place?

I understand “Show Long Events” may have an impact, but I cannot locate that option anywhere within the plugin’s settings or on the entry itself.

I’m using WordPress v3.5.1 and Events Manager v5.5.52 with full admin privileges.

Thanks

try events > settings > pages > event list/archives > Are current events past events

Yes, I did set that, but the week-spanning event in question takes place in June, so it’s not a past event.

Can you post a link to where this is happening? Thanks.

Sure – http://www.glazedexpressions.ca/calendar/ – navigate to July. The event in question is July 7-11.

Thanks

try shortcode [events_calendar full=1 long_events=1]

No impact. Placed the shortcode in the content entry box for the page that Events Manager is targeting.

Please advise.

Thanks

Sorry, can you explain what you mean by, “Placed the shortcode in the content entry box”? Thanks.

Sure.

I have identified a page within the Settings -> Pages -> Event List/Archives -> Events page, that the plugin uses to display the calendar. Within the large textarea on this entry I placed the shortcode you provided.

No impact.

Perhaps an simpler approach would be to tell me where I can find “Show Long Events” within the Settings.

Events Manager v5.5.52

Thanks.

There’s no Show Long Events option in the settings for calendars.

Given what you’ve said above, I think you may be putting the shortcode in the wrong place. Is the calendar page linked to above your main events page?

Try using the shortcode in a normal page, not within the settings. Does it show what you want then?

I see. I mentioned above that I’m using the blank entry identified in the settings, and no shortcodes.

Whether the shortcode works on a normal page or not, I have no desire to place the calendar on a normal page, or in a custom template, just the empty page I’m targeting in the settings – simple.

Is there no way to have the calendar display a span of dates for a given event using the targeted empty page?

Thanks

Please can you do the test I mentioned in my last reply – even if you don’t intend to use it permanently. I need you to help me test the shortcode so I can work what may be wrong here. Thanks.

I removed the target page in the plugin settings and placed the shortcode in the entry field. It works as expected.

I believe it should also work the other way – much simpler for the non-tech-savy user – but this will suffice.

Thanks
