    HELP! I am very new to Events Calendar
    I am building a school reunion site. I am using the latest versions of WP 4.9.8, Event calendar 4.6.26 and event tickets plus 4.8.3

    I have managed to set up an event with tickets etc

    This is going to be a single event affair. All I want is for the event to open as the front page directly. I am not bothered about the calendar bit. Just the event. I have tried making a post the front page, I have tried short codes, redirection, altering the main ULR but it just will not open.

    This is the ulr of the event
    https://www.wbcsreunion.co.uk/event/class-1971-1978

    Please what am I doing wrong, no doubt it’s staring me in my face. The slugs are set to events and event

    Thank you

  • Hi. We’ve actually had this request before. Here is a snippet of code you can place into your theme’s functions file that will allow you to choose an event to show on the front page of your site:

    function tribe_add_events_to_dropdown( $pages, $r ){
    if(isset($r['name']) && 'page_on_front' == $r['name']){
        $args = array(
            'post_type' => 'tribe_events'
        );
        $stacks = get_posts($args);
        $pages = array_merge($pages, $stacks);
    }

    return $pages;
}
add_filter( 'get_pages', 'tribe_add_events_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );

    After adding this, go to the Settings -> Reading page and you should see events in the dropdown box to choose from.

    Let me know how this works out for you.

    Mike
