Re: Embedded Calendar not showing event popups anymore

I've tried it on every modern browser on a Mac and PC. The issue is this, more specifically:
Any event that has the "Buy Tickets" link will not open a popup with the event details. The events without work as expected.

OK, we are says the same thing. It is the 'Buy Tickets' events that are having the problems.

As a workaround, I've added a new "event" that is just for the ticket link, but that's never been an issue before. It's no different from the other links on the events, so why it's blocking the event popup on the embedded calendar all of a sudden is the issue.

Here is what I do, depending on whether I want to open in Localendar's popup window, or go directly to the link. Compare it to the code you are using.

Go here, which is a free version of Localendar I use for testing only:
http://www.localendar.com/public/HMWlotest1?rss_link=false

Then go to December, 2014. The entry on December 1 takes you directly to an external file. Here is the code I use in the Title line of the Edit Event page:
<a href='http://www.localendar.com/upload/OPwebmaster/newcalendarinstructions_1csree.png'target='_blank'><span style='color:#ff00ff;font-weight:bold;font-size:14px;'>Calendar Instructions -Direct</span></a>

To go direct, the code must be added in the Title line. The target='_blank' is required if you want the external file/URL to open in a new window.

If you want the link to be inside the popup window, the link information must be entered in the Description section. Choose the 'Insert Link' icon, and insert there the URL and the text that you want displayed. That is how the entry on Dec. 8 was created. You will see that the link is now in the popup, and when clicked, opens in a new window.

Hope this helps.
