Hello,
I’m currently testing your free version and have run across a problem. My event page, with minor CSS tweaks, displays fine:
http://03103e2.netsolhost.com/WPX/test8/events/event/key-club-fall-rally-south/
However, clicking on the venue (Six Flags Magic Mountain) leads to the venue detail page which is jacked. The default sidebar doesn’t appear as it does on the event detail page, instead pulling widget data from who knows where. I don’t have these widget items populating any of my widget areas. My assumption is that this page layout should be virtually the same as the Event detail page, correct?

Is this a bug?

Hi Anji,
No this is not a bug. Unfortunately the default templates don’t work with every theme. However those templates are designed to over-ridale by the theme so you can create templates to suit your theme and/or adjust what to display. (Please see http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/theme-integration/ for details of the templates used by the plugin).
Regarding the sidebar, themes should have a sidebar.php
and the plugin will use that.
In 3.0.0 there will be a ‘theme compatibility’ mode to try and aid compatibility with more themes.

Hmmmm, ok. It just seems a bit strange that the event detail page loads as expected but the venue detail page does not – shouldn’t the templates be fairly identical?

The event page is handled differently. If event-single.php
is not provided by the theme, then single.php
and event details are inserted before the content.
Currently for the venue/category/tag pages, default templates are used if they are not found in the theme. From 3.0.0, with ‘theme compatibility’ enabled, the plug-in will try to use the theme’s page.php
to render those pages.
