Events Filter not working anymore

[Anonymous]

I have recently updated my events section on this site:

http://www.ausdancesa.org.au/whats-on/

and now the events filter is not working. A have the filter displaying by adding the following code in the Default event list format header

<div class=”searchbycat”>[events_filterform]</div>

Previously I had this set up on a page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In addition to my post above, the filter seems to work when I do not set an Events Page through the options, but just place the shortcodes on the page. However this set up breaks the event page links from working.

When I set Whats on to the Events Page, this corrects the Events page links but stops the filter from working.

I have had to set page up so filter is working again on live site but any help troubleshooting the link is now at: http://ausdance.argondev.com.au

Read the following concerning the EME setting “Events page”:

The content of this page (including shortcodes of any kind) will be ignored completely and dynamically replaced by events data

Meaning: the setting should point to a real page, that is not to be used inside your menus.

So: in the EME settings, the page should point to a real page that you NEVER touch or change (all content is being ignored).

To show event data: create other regular WP pages and put your shortcodes in there.

Thanks for the reply Frank. Reading the link you gave me, does it have to be set to the “Events” page? This page seems to have been removed and set to a new page I created.

If so, is there any way of bringing back the events page whilst keeping all the event entries I have so far?

Is there any way to export and import events?

It just has to be a page that you created in wp, but for the rest all the comments in the link apply.

Yes thats what I have done however the filter does not seem to work.

I am adding the filter by putting this code <div class=”searchbycat”>[events_filterform]</div> in the Default event list format header

Are you able to explain how I should be adding the filter in order to get it to work? If I add [events_filterform] to the wp page obviously this would be ignored. I understand that.

That is why I have added it to Default event list format header, this displays the filter, just does not seem to function.

See the example here: http://www.e-dynamics.be/wordpress/?cat=40

The [events_filterform] shortcode needs to be on the same page as the [events_list] shortcode, because the [events_list] shortcode is influenced by it.

Thanks Frank, I have managed to sort out this issue with your help. Not sure you fully understood my issue but your suggestions along the way helped me troubleshoot it. For anyone with the same issue this is how I sorted it….

Created my events page in WP and put the code:-

[events_filterform]

[events_list]

This page was then added to my site menu.

Created another page in WP called Events Single which would be the single event link page.

In EME options, set Events page to Events Single.

Reset SEO links and Permalinks and now filter and page links both working.
