The new development version that I have been working on has just been posted at version 6.0. I have had it tested pretty thoroughly but if you have any problems, let me know.
I scrapped two features right now for the first release. I am going to add the language files back soon and I will also be trying to add back the option for external calendars.
Later I plan to implement more event options. One example is recurring events. I hope everyone enjoys. There has been a lot of time spent on this. 
I did – no change. Yes a couple other plugins made their table(s) OK.
For those who have had problems with “previous” and “next” month not showing. Also those who have had problems not showing in the large calendar.
Go to the WordPress forums at this link:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/172911?replies=8#post-755253
A user has described what he did in his theme to
correct these problems.
(This is for those who have the events in their
database but are not showing in the calendar.)
I use cyrillic in description and it appears in coding which my browser don’t detect. How to manage coding?
Hey.
A little “bug” in the admin section when adding a event:
It should be HH:MM:SS not HH-MM-SS
Sorry for doublepost, but I don’t think it’s necessary to show the seconds, it is more orderly with just HH:MM I think.
Another question:
Why doesn’t the event time show in the large calendar?
Hi Luke, Rob,
I think the problem is related to PHP… I used the same code on a different server and the problem is gone… The problomatic host has PHP 5.2. The working host has 5.1.
Any ideas?
Rob – i tried the code without the div tags and got the same results.
Thank you very much!
Brian
Ok, I lied..
The PHP versions are 5.23 and 5.25. The working version is 5.25
Incase your interested. I’ve included a link to the PHP info on the working and non-working site.

@brianb,
Are you sure everything was the same and the only difference was 5.1 on one server and 5.2 on the other server?
That suggests that some function or syntax was dropped from PHP 5.2 which worked in PHP 5.1. (It would seem more logical to work the other way, i.e. something working in 5.2 but not 5.1.
Have you ruled out the theme as the problem?
gbrandt,
That is strange. Have you looked through the directories on your server for a PHP errors file? (I know I asked you once but you should be throwing errors if the database isn’t being created.)
Earl,
You are right that the time should have colons for a separator and not a dash. That is a cosmetic change and easy enough to do.
As for the seconds, it does no harm to leave them in. You can enter the time as: “08:15″ and it will show up as “08:15:00″.
The Event Time is not showing up and needs to be fixed.
i can´t add any event to the calendar.
using wp 2.5.1 and events-calendar 6.0.11
i looked in my phpmyadmin and no table created – but there is no error message
ronbme,
This is getting a bit silly. Can you send me a script to create the necessary tables manually?
thx
-g
The wp_ in the table name is the database prefix you set in your config file.
CREATE TABLE ” . wp_eventscalendar_main . ” (
id mediumint(9) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
eventTitle varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL,
eventDescription text CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL,
eventLocation varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci default NULL,
eventStartDate date NOT NULL,
eventStartTime time default NULL,
eventEndDate date NOT NULL,
eventEndTime time default NULL,
accessLevel varchar(255) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL default ‘public’,
postID mediumint(9) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY id (id)
);
brianb,
I don’t think the version of PHP is your problem. Your MySql version on the non-working site is 5.0 and the MySql version on the working site is 4.1.
I’m not saying that is where your problem is, but that is the biggest difference I see between the two sites.
hi Luke!
Thanks for the nice plugin, i’ve just been wondering about that kind of functionality for my blog)) thanks!!
thanks. I’ll run it and see what happens…
Minor irritation – every time I upgrade my date format reverts back to the default. Can it be changed so that the the options are kept during upgrades please?
I used Luke’s SQL statement, modified it for my purposes and tried to create teh table. SQL error. After taking out all CHARACTER SET and COLLATE statements table was created and I can see events. So the issue seems to be a compatibility issue of database versions – no clue why there is no error message when your php is creating the table. SELECT VERSION(); of MySQL shows 4.0.27-max-log

Hi Luke,
First of all I want to thank you for a great-looking plugin with a lot of potential.
I do have a problem though: I’m using WordPress 2.5.1, with no Widgets. When I install and activate “Event Calendar” it appears, but it’s blank. When I try to add events, nothing happens, and the calendar remains blank.
It seems like I’m experiencing the same problem as Steffen “STE7130″ Siegrist. Do you know how to fix this?
The MySQL-add-table-thingie did not work for me, I only got an error.
Thanks in advance!
Sham.
ralphs,
Thanks for including the version of MySQL. That is your problem and may be the problem for others.
There was a major upgrade with MySQL 4.1 which changes the way character sets are recognized and stored. That is why you were getting errors. (I’m surprised you haven’t gotten them before.)
You should ask your host to upgrade to MySQL 5.0, as MySQL 4.0 is way out of date.
My host runs MySQL 4.1.22 and it seemed to work but then I installed it from an early release of 6.0.x
Has there been any change to the sql in recent revisions?
JohnO,
The biggest change in the database occurred between 5.84 and 6.0xx of Events Calendar.
This is the part which changed:
“CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci”
And that was changed in four fields. Those with MySQL are going to have a problem with that. Those people are going to have to delete that from the four fields in the script Luke posted. Then they should be able to create the table.
MySQL is up to ver. 6.0, so your host should consider upgrading to at least ver. 5.0.
Whoops! I meant to say “those with MySQL ver. 4.0 are going to have problem”.
Sorry about that.
Gentlemen,
many thanks for your help. I changed MySQL to 5.x and everything works fine. Great plug-in

@ralphs,
Great! Glad to hear it and thanks for letting us know.

I have used the Event Calendar for several years. A recurring event functionality is essential for a calendar. Apparently, even the latest version still does not off recurring event functionality.
[..] A bit unrelated, but I rather liked this website post [..]
