Platform Pro not supporting boxes and soapboxes with events manager plugin

[kirstensoerries 0]

Hi, Iam using events manager pro plugin to set up events pages. On the events pages I have the possibility to define platform pro boxes etc. but they don't show on the certain event page. http://www.pumptrack-fieber.de/Academy12/?event=bike-singletrail-camp-gardasee Are the theme and the plugin incompatible? Thanks kirsten

Are you trying to apply the boxes to a full-width area? In PlatformPro, boxes are only full-width. They won't appear inside the content area. If you need boxes inside a content area in PlatformPro, I recommend Boxer plugin which uses a shortcode and offers greater flexibility. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boxer/

No, the site has a sidebar egtc. The events manager plugin shows events as a kind of posts. On these event-admin pages I have the posssibility to define boxes etc. I think that there is some kind of code missing in this combination from events manager plugin and platform pro [img]http://www.pumptrack-fieber.de/Academy12/images/Bildschirmfoto%202012-07-09%20um%2021.07.34.png[/img]

I am sorry if I wasn't clear before. In PlatformPro, boxes ONLY appear in full-width mode. Thus, boxes must be either in the header, footer or morefoot areas. If you placed boxes into the content area, you will see the settings in the page, but the boxes will not display. It is not the plugin. We fixed this issue in PageLines Framework, released in December 2011. This also applies to Feature Sliders and Banners, which also want to be full width... There are CSS work-arounds for the sliders in PlatformPro, but not for boxes or banners. I'd suggest upgrading to PageLines Framework or, if you prefer to keep PlatformPro, use the Boxer plugin to create your boxes, which uses a shortcode to implement on your page. http://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/boxer/ That's the only known alternative to get boxes showing inside the content area in PlatformPro.
