"Disabliing AJAX" in Event Views (List, Month, etc.) in The Event Calendar by Modern Tribe

readme.txt

These two files at least seem to disable the AJAX functionality in The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe that interferes with the pre_get_posts action. I was using that to modify the Upcoming and Past Events Lists so I had to find a way to disable the AJAX. Really, the plugin should just work with pre_get_posts, but that's not the case at least for now...

Thanks for the initial idea and starting point from @coreymcollins: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disable-ajax-pagination?replies=4#post-5204802

This is very very very much a hack, and a sad one at that. It requires overriding the tribe_* paging functions with the core WordPress ones and then blowing away the entire filter bar.

Note the locations these two files go in a theme to override the corresponding files in The Events Calendar.

bar.php

<?php
/**
 * Events Navigation Bar Module Template
 * Renders our events navigation bar used across our views
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/modules/bar.php

?>

<?php

$filters = tribe_events_get_filters();
$views   = tribe_events_get_views();

 ?>

<?php do_action('tribe_events_bar_before_template') ?>

<?php /* bye bye nav bar :( */ ?>

<?php do_action('tribe_events_bar_after_template') ?>

nav.php
