VS Event List

SSS

Eklenti dilini nasıl belirleyebilirim?

The plugin will use the website language, set in Settings > General.

If translations are not available in the selected language, English will be used.

How do I set the date and time format?

By default, the plugin uses the date and time format from Settings > General.

The date picker in the editor is using the date format from your browser.

You can change the date and time format for the frontend of your website via the settings page. You can also change the date format by using an attribute.

The date icon only supports 2 date formats: “day-month-year” (30 Jan 2016) and “year-month-day” (2016 Jan 30).

If your date format is not supported, it will be converted into 1 of the 2 formats above.

Which timezone does the plugin use?

Events are saved in the database and displayed throughout your website without a timezone offset.

Why does the event list look different between themes?

The plugin uses minimal styling and therefore also depends on the styling of your theme.

The single event page uses the same template as a post. This template may vary by theme.

Why is the event list not displaying properly?

The following only applies to pages with a manually added shortcode.

When using the block editor, edit the page and check the shortcode in “Edit as HTML” mode.

When using the classic editor, edit the page and check the shortcode after switching to the “Text” tab instead of “Visual”.

The shortcode might be accidentally wrapped in HTML tags, such as code tags. Remove these tags and resave the page.

Can I have multiple event lists on the same page?

This is possible, but to avoid a conflict you should disable pagination. This can be done via the settings page or by using an attribute.

How does the plugin hook into theme template files?

The plugin hooks into the the_content() and the_excerpt() functions. These are used by most themes.

Can I override the plugin template files via my (child) theme?

You can only override the single event page via your (child) theme.

In most cases, the PHP file “single” is being used for the single event page. This file is located in your theme folder.

Create a duplicate of the file “single” and rename it “single-event”. Then add this file to your (child) theme folder and customize it to your needs.

Can I change the colors of the date icon?

You can use page Additional CSS of the Customizer for your custom styling.

Examples:

Change background and text color of whole icon: .vsel-start-icon, .vsel-end-icon {background:#eee; color:#f26535;}

Change background and text color of top part: .vsel-day-top, .vsel-month-top {background:#f26535; color:#eee;}

Why is there no pagination in the widget?

Pagination is not working properly in a widget.

But you can add a link to the page that displays more events.

Why is there no pagination when using the offset attribute?

Offset breaks pagination. That’s why pagination is disabled when using the offset attribute.

Can I have “Event” as page title?

Having “Event” as page (or post) title will not cause any problems, but having “event” as slug (end of URL) will cause a conflict with the (event) post type archive page.

You should change this slug into something else. This can be done by changing the permalink of this page (or post).

Why a 404 (nothing found) when I click the title link?

This is mostly caused by the permalink settings. Please resave the permalink via Settings > Permalinks.

Why a 404 (nothing found) when I click the event category link?

This is mostly caused by the permalink settings. Please resave the permalink via Settings > Permalinks.

Why no event details or event categories box in the editor?

When using the block editor, click the options icon and select “Preferences”.

When using the classic editor, click the “Screen Options” tab.

Probably the checkbox to display the relevant box in the editor is not checked.

Why no featured image box in the editor?

When using the block editor, click the options icon and select “Preferences”.

When using the classic editor, click the “Screen Options” tab.

Probably the checkbox to display the relevant box in the editor is not checked.

But sometimes your theme does not support featured images. Or only for posts and pages. In that case you must manually add this support for events.

Why no Advanced Custom Fields field group in the editor?

When using the block editor, click the options icon and select “Preferences”.

When using the classic editor, click the “Screen Options” tab.

Probably the checkbox to display the relevant box in the editor is not checked.

Why does my RSS or iCal feed not refresh?

When visiting your feed via the subscription URL and feed is outdated, empty your browser cache.

If you’re using the default RSS widget you can force a refresh via Settings > Reading, by changing the number of items in the feed.

But this may not work in case there’s other caching as well.

Can I use the plugin on a ClassicPress website?

Yes you can! Obviously you cannot use the block, so use the shortcode instead.

Why is there no semantic versioning?

The version number won’t give you info about the type of update (major, minor, patch). You should check the changelog to see whether or not the update is a major or minor one.
