Event Format Templates Not Showing

[Anonymous]

I have just updated to WP 4.8.2. I have also changed my theme (it is now Customizr – NewsPress Lite). I’m not sure which change broke EME, but I am now having trouble. I have about 14 EME templates – I really only use 1 or 2. Normally, when I create an event, I used the pulldown to select an template (Single Event Format – Either Choose from a template: [ v].
However, if I edit a template now it will no longer show as an entry in the pulldown menus. The other templates, ones that I have not edited, still show as an option. I can copy & paste the template contents in the box “Or enter your own” and that works (which rules out an error with the template). Do you have any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to get the templates functioning again?

Check the usage-type you’ve set for the template. Either leave that empty (for generic usage) or set a more specific usage (in which case the template only shows for that use-case).

Update: I tested it here too, and it seems there is indeed a bug if you select “All” as template type. Expect a bugfix release asap (in the meantime: the workaround is to set the template type to the desired type).

Edit: it is fixed in DEV.

I’m sorry, I don’t know what “it is fixed in DEV” means. Can you translate that from IT to English 🙂

It IS fixed? there’s an update I can download? There is a fix I can implement before the next update?

“DEV” as in “development”.
The correct fix is a database change, but a workaround is either to set the correct type for your template, or to change in eme_templates.php in the function eme_get_templates (around line 142) the SQL statement to
SELECT * FROM $table WHERE type IS NULL OR type='' OR type=%s ORDER BY type,description
