Do you know when this problem started? Did it align to a particular release?
Is your site using any caching? If so, what is the caching tool?
Best,

Hi,
We don’t know when this started. The customer reported it to us the other day.
The website does use caching (Breeze, at the moment) although we don’t think that’s an issue. We’ve changed the shortcode variables several times in the last few days and the page content does update.
Hope this helps.
Is that an exact copy of the shortcode? It’s using a mix of straight quotes and smart quotes, which could be a problem; smart quotes will be perceived as text, rather than as delimiters.
It could be a copy/paste issue into the forum. I’ve checked all the codes and replaced them all with standard ones (shift-2 on the keyboard).
I’ve copied the shortcode again as text and as code into this message:
[my_calendar_upcoming before=”1″ after=”20″ format=”list” type=”event” fallback=”No events coming up!” category=”Training Courses” template=”26f95b6b0b735726f31ea7bc35c88f5d” order=”asc” show_today=”yes” skip=”0″]
[my_calendar_upcoming before="1" after="20" format="list" type="event" fallback="No events coming up!" category="Training Courses" template="26f95b6b0b735726f31ea7bc35c88f5d" order="asc" show_today="yes" skip="0"]
Yeah, looks like posting it as text converts some of the quotes. Just odd that it only converts *some* of them.
In my site, this seems to work as expected. Are you running the latest version of My Calendar?
Hi,
It is strange.
Yes, we’re using the latest version of the plugin. 3.1.12.
Hi,
I further test, I removed the template attribute from the shortcode and it works.
Not sure what could be wrong with the template though.
Can you share your template?
Here is the template code:
<li id="list-{id}" class="mc-events">
<strong class="event-date">
<button type="button" class="mc-text-button" aria-expanded="false">
<i class="far fa-calendar"></i> {date} - {title}
</button>
</strong>
<div id="mc_list_{id}-list" class="mc-mc_list_{id} list-event mc_general past-event vevent mc_rel_general event-details" tabindex="-1" style="display: none;">
<span class="summary">
<span class="summary screen-reader-text">{description}</span>
</span>
<div id="mc_list_{id}-list-details" class="details no-image" role="alert" aria-labelledby="mc_{id}-title">
<div class="time-block">
<p>
<strong>Time:</strong> {time} - {endtime}<br />
<strong>Venue:</strong> <a href='{map_url}' target='_blank'>{location}</a>
<br /><br />
</p>
</div>
<strong>Details:</strong>
{description}
</div>
<!--end .details-->
</div>
</li>
Hope it helps.
Tested with that template, and I didn’t get the wrong events with that template, either.
I do note a problem in the resulting code using that template; you’re rendering the <li> element, which is already part of the list, so it’s rendered twice. You can use the ‘mc_event_upcoming_before’ and ‘mc_event_upcoming_after’ filters to remove the default list item element tags to fix that issue.
However, I can’t see any reason this would cause extra events to appear. In general, I can’t see any reason that the template would impact the events presented *unless* the template itself included something that would pull additional events – and I don’t see any evidence of that.
Are *all* of the events between 20 May and today’s date appearing in that list, or is it just some of them?
If it’s just some of them, are there any common characteristics between those events that aren’t common with the events within that span that *aren’t* displayed?
Hi,
It doesn’t seem to be all the events so I dug further.
I noticed, using a default layout (not a template) that the events with the issue had an end date on them which is still in the future, 2 months after the start date (the events don’t actually need an end date).
I assume, because of this, the events are considered future events and showing on the list?
I’ll update the events to remove the end date to double check but I’m sure that’s where the problem lays (with the data entered).
Yes – if the end date is still in the future, then the events are considered currently happening, and will be represented in the upcoming events list.
