We’ll have a look at the styling inconsistencies.
For news listings, the plan is to include categories as text only, ditching the additional links to improve the experience for screen-reader users.
Luke OathamKeymasterLooks like the recent buddyPress changes have thrown out a few styles. Do you have buddyPress installed?
New updates in 4.35.6.1 should fix the bullet point problems.
Luke OathamKeymasterYou can add extra fields using ACF. These will display in the user edit screen, but you’ll need custom coding in the user profile template to display the fields on the front end. You can configure Relevanssi Pro to index your extra fields, or if you don’t use Relevanssi, some custom coding will be required to the staff search template.
So far, we’ve managed to keep a controlled list of user fields. I’m currently developing new fields for Location and Building which will be available via a plugin. Longer term, we may add functionality for custom user fields but there are no definite plans for the moment.
Hope that helps. Do get in touch if you need any custom development.

Luke OathamKeymasterSorry to hear you’re having problems. Let me have a look into this.
Luke OathamKeymasterLuke,
Thanks for responding. The Events module is switched off.
Luke OathamKeymasterHi Neal – just checking, do you have the Govintranet events module switched on?
Luke OathamKeymasterThere are some updates coming soon in v4.35 that might help with the news widget.
Luke OathamKeymasterIan – we’ve had problems with sites hosted on Windows servers due to firewalls not allowing traffic in. Otherwise, the plugin uses the View ID to pull data from GA and should process URLs in line with your site settings.
Luke OathamKeymasterSo we are able to work around this by choosing every 14 days rather than every two weeks.
Luke OathamKeymasterWe ended up buying the Events Calendar Pro so this is no longer an issue for us.
Luke OathamKeymasterAn update on this. I’ve been researching several different calendar plugins. It appears that most calendar plugins that use the events post type will have the date appear as December 31, 1969 when looking at an individual event. I have determined that it is a theme conflict as when I change the theme to the 2016 the issue goes away. Examples are Events Manager and Events Organiser (as well as the Events Maker with which I started testing).
I do have the built-in events module turned off, although I still see the events templates available for pages.
The only two that I found that appears to create a custom post type and does not show the date incorrectly is The Event Calendar by Modern Tribe and Time.ly All in One Calendar. We are looking for recurring appointments and this would require the pro version for either one.
There are several plugins that do not have the date issue. These appear to not use a custom post type but create their own tables. Two examples are Events Made Easy and Event Espresso.
Has anyone else experienced this? What are you using for events/calendars? I’m needing to do recurring events. Also hoping to do event registration in the future.
Does anyone have thoughts on where to tweak the event template so that we can get the date on individual events to show correctly? I already have a child theme started. I’m starting to think I will just have to go with what is compatible with the theme.
I have attached several screenshots that show an example of the date appearing incorrectly. In this case I was using Event Manager as the events plugin.

Luke OathamKeymasterPatrik – is the page set to ‘private’? This will force a login…
Luke OathamKeymasterI’ll update this to link directly to documents. Automatic icons will appear once this is fixed.
