In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Event details revert to current date/timeIf you open up your browser’s Inspector tool, it may be possible to monitor the network traffic going back and forth. If you see a call that looks like ?event_id=123 tell me what the Response panel says.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Event details revert to current date/timeAre you using the plain permalinks setting, where posts and pages have urls like ?p=123 rather than /my-blog-post/ ?
There is an issue with the API depending on “pretty permalinks” although the latest release should do a better job of handling it.
Even if that’s not the issue, I’m thinking something is going wrong with the communication between the editor widgets RSVPMaker provides for setting event dates and the back end. When the connection isn’t made successfully, the editor reverts back to the old value rather than your change.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Elementor IntegrationFirst of all, thanks for the kind words about the basic functionality of RSVPMaker.
RSVPMaker provides a number of dynamic blocks as a more user friendly alternative to shortcodes. Is the issue that Elementor doesn’t support Gutenberg blocks, and that’s why you’re using shortcodes.
The challenge with your request is that I have never been an Elementor user. Instead, I’ve been going down the path of maximizing support for Gutenberg blocks, including full site editing for block themes. I know a lot of people use and love Elementor, but for me it just adds another layer of complexity.
But that’s just personal preference. I’d be happy to invest some time in learning to create Elementor widgets for RSVPMaker if you (or some other fan of that software) wanted to sponsor the development for a fee TBD. Or, in the spirit of open source, someone provided the necessary code, I’d be happy to incorporate it.
Otherwise, I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can make Elementor support a priority.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Getting a critical Error?Rob,
The short open tag thing shouldn’t be an issue at this point, if you have the current release installed.
You’re saying you get critical errors when updating the plugin? No other changes? What PHP version?
Re nothing being logged, you might try temporarily enabling DEBUG_LOG_DISPLAY in your wp-config.php. I’ve occasionally seen errors that will be displayed on screen but not written to the log for whatever reason.
I’m not seeing these errors on my test and production servers, so I do need a clue of where to look if the plugin is behaving differently on your website. Could be a conflict with another plugin or something different about the hosting setup.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Getting a critical Error?Anyone still struggling with this: Please try installing RSVPMaker 11.4.2 and let me know if that resolves the issue.
Turns out PHP 8 removed default support for a short tag syntax that I don’t normally use but which occurs in one spot in the rsvpmaker-util.php file.
The reason it took me so long to find the bug: Both my web host and my local dev environment had a php.ini configuration switch turned on that allows short_tags to work in PHP 8.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Can I make it work with Classic EditorAt this point, I’ve gotten so deep into making RSVPMaker work well with the block editor that it would be a substantial project to reenable the classic editor UI. I might do it eventually, just because there are times I’d like to be able to change event settings without going into the editor. But don’t expect that anytime soon.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Form Page Not Matching ReportI just put out a bug fix to address the issue about being able to delete entries from the RSVP Report.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Error loading event date in Gutenberg editorI did try switching a test site to Deutch, but that doesn’t seem to be the issue.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Error loading event date in Gutenberg editorMy guess is a conflict with another plugin. Can you use the Inspector in Chrome or Firefox to check whether there are JavaScript errors when the editor screen is loaded for an RSVPMaker event?
If you display the editor sidebar with the document properties, do you see a button labeled RSVP / Event Options? There should be a calendar widget displayed in the sidebar as well.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] Form Page Not Matching ReportI’m not sure. Not seeing a similar glitch on any of my own sites or test sites.
Looks like you only have one event active on the website? Is this your first time using RSVPMaker? Did you have any registrations entered for the event as tests? Any other events you created? If you have more than one event, make sure you’re looking at the report for the correct event.

In reply to: [RSVPMaker] How to Use TemplatesThere is some documentation here.
A template is supposed to be an abstract model / outline of the kind of event you typically host, with default content and settings such as whether RSVP collection is active. For example, one of my clients hosts gourmet dinners where the template shows the general organization of the page, but the individual events based on the template have different menus and lists of guest chefs.
When you update a template, you should get a prompt to create/update a series of events based on that template. If you’ve put in a base schedule like First Tuesday at 7 am, it will try to calculate the first Tuesdays of upcoming months and give you a draft post. You can then customize the individual event posts as needed.
