The Events Calendar Pro (from http://tri.be/) has a few problems.
If you are trying to figure out why a calendar with no events in that month has completely screwed up header navigation, just put this line of code inside of table.php in the top of the display_day function (put it directly before the for loop):
$thisisherebecausethispluginSUCKSdontremoveit = has_excerpt() ? TribeEvents::truncate($post->post_excerpt) : TribeEvents::truncate(get_the_content(), 30);
This basically just runs some “truncate” function on the “TribeEvents” object. For some reason this truncate function magically fixes the header nav display issues.

Hey Chris. Rob from Tribe here; we came across your post here and wanted to follow up to apologize about the problem you’ve been having. Issues like this suck and are never fun to work with…so we feel your pain. This is a known bug we’ve identified as happening to a subset of users. While we’d initially planned the patch for our 2.1 release (coming mid-January), we’ve pushed a 2.0.3 release in for later this month instead to get a few critical bugs – this among them – resolved. So hopefully you’ll have a functioning plugin at that point.
Also wanted to note that we do have an active support forum over at tri.be (http://tri.be/support/forums/), which all PRO users are entitled to access and which we monitor on a daily basis. What I can’t figure out myself, I’ll bring a dev in to work with the user on. An issue like this would be something we’d happily work with you to get resolved.
Did want to reach out to thank you for your feedback, though, and to apologize personally for the issue. If there’s anything we can still do to assist and ease your mind, let me know…we’re happy to help.
Rob, thank you so much for contacting me! I am SUCH an ASSHOLE! I’ve edited my post now to not be so… assholy. I was sick and it was really late at night and I didn’t even mean to publish the post, I meant to mark it “private” until I could flesh it out. I feel really bad. Sort of like someone finding one of those letters you write to vent your frustration and then mean to throw away and then the person finds it and reads it. Dangit!
Anyways, your response was awesome. Thanks!
My client actually purchased the plugin and I’m just implementing it. I couldn’t find a way to register for your site and it was too late to get any login credentials from the client (if they even realize they have them). This was pretty frustrating in itself. I was trolling all over the forums with no way to contact you… I’ll try and get the login info from my client so I can post any follow up questions (there’s a list of issues we have). Thanks!
Hey again Chris. Thanks so much for the follow-up; we appreciate you updating the piece and I totally understand the late night, frustrated blogging position…done it a few times myself
I can definitely dig up the username/password for your client – which they would have configured upon purchase – if you let me know the name of the company or email address with which the license was purchased. At that point I can reset the password, send you that along with the username, and you’ll have access to the forums accordingly.
Thanks again for being responsive on this, and my apologies once more for the inconvenience you faced. Anytime you have problems, feel free to either post on the forum (once we get that issue above resolved) or just shoot me an email (rob at tri.be) and I’ll do what I can to assist.
