Hi,

Have got my Atahualpa 3.7.3 theme looking good and happy with the results, have installed a great plugin 'Events Manager' and added some events. They display well when all events for all categories are selected (http://www.demo.singersandsongs.com/events), but if I want to display a list of events on a page for a single category (http://www.demo.singersandsongs.com/.../adult_courses) then the Atahualpa theme has trouble with displaying the events.

To demonstrate:

Atahualpa adult courses screen shot (linked file atahualpa_screen.png)
Atahualpa adult courses html source code (linked file atahualpa_code.txt)

Default adult courses screen shot (linked file default_screen.png, the taller of the screen shots)
Default adult courses html source code (linked file default_code.txt)

I really want to keep your theme, so what setting is stripping the layout?

Many thanks

without knowing how you have setup the plugin (ie all the settings) I'd just be making a wild guessing.

The plugin works on the standard theme, but not for Atahualpa, so this theme must be stripping out some HTML or similar. Can I PM you a login so you can have a look? If you resolve it I would donate!

If there is a tag associated with the plugin and the page where the entries don't show properly in an excerpt page you have to make sure that the tag in question is added to the "don't strip these tags" box in the theme options.

Hi, a very good suggestion, I have gone into the Event Manager Settings and found all the HTML tags used and added them into the 'Don't Strip' setting for excerpt, but unfortunately get the same result, so something is still messing with the code that the plugging pushes out (as it works on twenty-eleven theme) but not in Atahualpa.

Hmmm......

Again, I can Private Message you with a login and if sorted will donate, am quite desperate to have this working...

Here is the code that is setup in Events Manager which shows in the default theme:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="events-table" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="event-time" width="250">Date/Time</th>
<th class="event-description" width="600">Event</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>

It are the HTML codes in the don't strip in excerpt:

<p><em><strong></br><thead><tr><th><tr><tbody><table>

I just went to the plugin demo page and looked at their demo for a category page. All the items show in a list which are obviously list items but I inspected with Firebug anyway just to be sure. So put <li> in the don't strip these tags box and see what happens.

If that doesn't work send my a PM with your login and I will look at it.

Ah, putting <li> in the don't strip these and a bullet point has appeared, but the layout is still broken.

I think we are nearly there, can you think of anything more....

Set the theme to the default, looked at the HTML and added:

<a href></a><div><footer><h1><header><ul><i><li><p><em><strong></br><thead><th><tr><tbody><table>

So I think every tag is covered, but it still won't display.

Any help much, much appreciated.

If you send my a PM with a login I will take a look.

I just took a look and instead of linking to a category for listing events create a page with the category title and then use the shortcode on that page.

Thanks for your help, I am no expert in these things. Donation on the way.

Glad it's working. You only have one s in classes for Adult classes though
