I'm seeing a Javascript error (caused by the theme) on this page that should probably be fixed:
http://showthemes.com/dummy-demo/

Timestamp: 1/20/15, 8:41:21 AM
Error: ReferenceError: countdown_expiration is not defined
Source File: http://showthemes.com/dummy-demo/wp-content/themes/Tyler/event-framework/assets//js/countdown.js?ver=4.1

Hi, the error is now removed.

from event-espresso-core.

Again, please review https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core#testing on reporting bugs. More specifically, we do NOT know what version of EE (or what branch) this report is based on.

Also, please verify the same bug happens on twenty eleven, or twenty-fifteen core wp themes. If it does NOT happen with those themes, then it is likely this is a theme issue and not an EE issue.

The errors do not appear on http://www.showthemes.com/dummy-demo because you have probably embedded the shortcode using do_shortcode() into a custom template that appears to only use widget areas for injecting content and does not have an actual "loop" anywhere.

If you look at the markup for the second page you listed, you will notice the following html immediately after the header:

<div id="espresso-notices">
<div id="espresso-ajax-loading" style="display:none;">
<div id="espresso-ajax-notices">

this gets injected into the html via the WordPress "pre_get_posts" hook and is used for presenting errors.

Since your first page has no loop, the "pre_get_posts" hook never fires, and the above markup doesn't get added to the page.

Possible Solutions:

• manually add the EE notices html into your template (get the full html from the second page DOM)
• manually trigger the WordPress "pre_get_posts" hook within your template where you want the notifications to appear.

going to close this as it's been nearly a month with no further response
