Events no SEO

Howdy Krista!

Currently the only real way to modify that page if your SEO plugin does not help you would be to hook into the WP API. Using our documentation you can detect the current page type and output meta tags and such directly, or perhaps modify existing meta tags that are already output. Depending on your selected view you might notice a noindex meta in the head.

We are interested in adding better integration with third party plugins such as yoast via shortcodes. You might throw your support behind this feature suggestion: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3735284-ability-to-pull-calendar-to-page-with-shortcodes

Hey Brook,
Any chance you can further explain and help out with hooking in to the WP API?
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Krista

@krista & @brook … I commented and voted on the feature suggestion as noted above … and I give you a resounding yes, we need that/those features.

As for Krista and the Yoast SEO and the SERP, I also will need to be able to do this, as a major portion of the appeal to the website I am building it the ability to announce via TEC/The Events Calendar the ‘show’ dates and other events, and be found when the target market seeks out these show/event dates.

A huge portion of the website will built around, and revolve around creating excitement and engagement with these physical location shows/events. So, SERP is crucial, critical in my case and I would imagine it’s the case with many web builds.

Yay for TEC! ??

Sure Krista. Basically you would be writing a small plugin or addition to your theme’s functions.php. You would want to detect if it is an event page, probably using one of our tribe_is_ functions, which are documented here: https://docs.tri.be/Events-Calendar/ . tribe_is_month() for instance tells you if you are on the month view. Then using WP Filters you can modify the_title, wp_title, and such.

@b I agree that it would be a huge improvement. I am glad you voted there. If you know of anyone else who would appreciate the feature, please encourage them to comment/vote. The more popular an idea is the higher priority we assign it. Cheers!
