As a follow-up, here’s how the date picker looks when adding or editing an event.

Yeah – I hate this updated version of the date picker.  The old one was MUCH easier to work with since it was side by side, not up and down.  Now when you advance it several months, it ”jumps” because some months have 4 weeks and some have 5.  It was LOTS BETTER BEFORE – no idea why you guys had to mess with it.  If it matters, I vote to restore the old version of this element of the plugin.

OK – still hating this updated date picker – – I now have ACCIDENTALLY gone too far forward and don’t see a way to go BACKWARD on the dates.  Is this not possible with this new update?  It seems so.  I could do it with the previous version easily.  

Is there a possibility of allowing us to just enter the date in manually instead of forcing us to use the picker?  That also would be extremely helpful.  

Please advise.

Otherwise I’ll have to redo the entire event posting from scratch – that seems to be the only way I can put it on the correct date at this point….

Thanks for the reply.

I have disabled each plugin but it makes no difference.  I already had logging turned on from an earlier issue, but looking at the log file there are no errors shown.  

I could try switching to a default theme, but even if that fixes the problem that won’t help in the long term as the theme author isn’t going to change it just to fix an issue with your plugin.  Plus, from comments added here it seems I am not the only one with this problem and we are very unlikely to be using the same theme.

Hi Artem,

No, my calendar date picker looks exactly like the one you included earlier in this thread….the problem is I accidentally clicked to far forward on it and now it won’t let me go backward.  The PREVIOUS calendar picker would have let me do that no problem – – this updated one stinks!  Please advise as to WHY you guys changed it and if there’s a possibility that you will switch it back to the MUCH EASIER TO USE old one.  

Also, is there any way to go back to a previous month on the current calendar picker?  If so, please let me know HOW because I don’t see any way to do that. 

I can’t stress enough how much this updated calendar picker is awful!

Re: Amy

Although the date picker doesn’t allow you to go backwards, I found if you go to the Events list and choose ’Quick Edit’ rather than ’Edit’, you can manually edit the start/end dates and times.

Hope that helps.

I don’t want to change my theme – – – you have not answered my main question which is WHY did you guys change the way the date picker is displaying now and more importantly, can you change it back to the way it was?

I have the same issue with one of my sites. Google’s CDN doesn’t appear to have the jqueryui 1.41.2 file which the plugin is looking for.
I added this into my theme’s functions.php file and the date picker is loading like it should.

add_action( ’admin_print_styles-post-new.php’, ’fix_broken_jquery_ui_theme_cdn’, 20 );
add_action( ’admin_print_styles-post.php’, ’fix_broken_jquery_ui_theme_cdn’, 20 );
function fix_broken_jquery_ui_theme_cdn() {
    wp_deregister_style( ’jquery-ui-css’ );
    wp_register_style(
        ’jquery-ui-css’,
        ’https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.14.1/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.min.css’,
        array(),
        ’1.14.1’
    );
    wp_enqueue_style( ’jquery-ui-css’ );
}

Thanks for the info regarding jQuery.  

I installed the jQuery Updater plugin and this seems to have fixed the problem, with the calendar date picker now appearing correctly.  I hope this helps anyone else having the same issue.
