What Went Wrong
After updating both the theme and TEC plugin, the events archive page (e.g., /events/) showed a blank screen. The issue stemmed from a compatibility conflict between the theme’s archive layout and TEC’s rendering logic.
How We Diagnosed It
✅ Tested on staging first
We replicated the issue on a staging site to avoid affecting the live environment.
✅ Checked known conflicts
Forum threads revealed a known issue between newer Impreza theme versions and TEC’s archive view templates.
✅ Isolated the problem
Blank screens typically mean a PHP error or template conflict, especially when it only affects a dynamic page like /events/.
What Fixed It
1. Synced all updates
We updated both the Impreza theme and The Events Calendar plugin to their latest versions—partial updates often cause issues.
2. Switched archive templates
Under Events → Settings → Display, we changed the archive layout to “Default Events Template” instead of the theme-integrated option.
3. Cleared cache and reset permalinks
We flushed caches and re-saved permalinks via Settings → Permalinks to ensure proper routing.
4. Applied fix to live site
Once working on staging, the changes were safely mirrored on the live environment.
Final Result
The events archive now loads properly with no blank screens or broken views. Keeping both the theme and TEC updated, and using the right template display setting, restored stable event functionality.
