@d0153 OK, I feel like an idiot. I was making sure the column mapping matched up (which it did) and didn’t notice that multiple columns, including “all day event” were set to do not import right above that. /facepalm

Do you know if that is something that has to be adjusted every time? Or can I set the default to do that so my client doesn’t need to check on import? The auto-import should fix that regardless, but I’m trying to give them a backup procedure in case something happens.

Thank you all so much for your time. I’m sorry I missed something so simple.

Quick followup. Not sure if it’s a DDEV thing. But I created a new local build. New folder, followed the setup, only things I did were to add the, The Events Calendar plugin and activate it, did the basic setup of that, skipping organizers, etc., and then did an import of the example data. The Kitten Adoption event, still did not get flagged as an all day event.

Again, I can try to interface with support later (per the last paragraph), but currently I only have access to the free setup.

I’d be interested in other solutions to this problem. But a workaround I’ve found is to use comments_number() (which isn’t exactly the same statistic) and manually create the URL.

<a href="<?php comments_link(); ?> "><?php comments_number('No responses','One response','% responses'); ?></a>

I’m still not any closer to solving this. The author never replied and the posts page has some more comments that are unrelated.

So far I’ve gone through the code some more, trying to follow along with what it is actually doing. It’s not helping much… I’m not seeing it fail anywhere…

OK, while I was writing this I contiuned to play I found some bizarre anomolies…

I was trying to fix the fact that my fix to pass the authentication variables adds to the htaccess file and seems to break the “clean urls” for the feeds.

While playing I randomly put in incorrect information. But since I was already logged in… the friggen hidden post showed up. So it didn’t prompt me, but it included the post. And then it disappeared a few refreshes later and then came back with some more fiddling…

So to summarize,

• Putting in “/wp-rss2.php?http_auth=yes” displays a blank feed, with just the basic information, no posts. But at least it prompts you for authentication”
• Changing that to the actual feed produces a 404 error. And when switched from “/feed/?http_auth=yes” to “/feed/?http_auth=no” the 404 goes away.
• Sometimes if I’m logged in already (only produced in Firefox so far) and just use “/feed/” or even “/wp-rss2.php” (remember, not all the time) I get back the correct feed with the hidden post.
• “/feed/?http_auth=yes” produces a 404 error, yet “/feed/?http_auth=yes/” does not. And again, sometimes produces a feed including the private post.

Maybe I should also make sure that my htaccess can’t be made better (I’m sure it can).

Is there anyone out there who can give me something positive? I can’t make heads or tails of all this wonky behavior… Thanks!

OK, I have started pulling apart the plugin and found out that the problem stems from having to use authentication in general. My host has PHP installed as cgi and not a module. So the $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] and $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] are not set by the server.

I found a script that, along with an add-on to my .htaccess file, grabs the data and rebuilds the two variables.

But now, even though my credentials go through, I just get a 404 error. Is anyone else using this plugin, in a “module” environment, and can vouch that it functions correctly? I’d like to know that I’m on the right track but just need to tweak something else. Thanks!
