How to control look of Single Detailed Event

    Hi there,
    I’ve just installed your wonderful plugin and I’m trying to figure out its settings by following your documentation.
    While I have some things all figured out, I need your help to understand the following:

    1. 1. How can I control the styling of the ‘single event page’? For example users click on an event and are being transferred to that listing’s page, like so:mysite/event/particular-event. I work with Elementor but have no choice to edit it with elementor. I don’t see it created in back-end either. It seems to have an ‘Archive’ page look?? There must be a way to edit it without messing with templates?
      2. On the above same page, (single detail listing), I have fields and buttons I don’t need. For example I don’t need to show the ‘Register for Event’ button. Also, showing all types of social media icons that I don’t necessarily need.
      3. The Logo that I uploaded in back end of event set up, appears huge. How can I control that?
      4. How can I turn off the ‘Comments are closed’ at the end of page.
      5. In the ‘Events Listing’ page, it shows ‘Recent Events’, while I want to say ‘Upcoming Events’, how do I change that? I’m using shortcode: [events per_page=”6″ show_filters=”false”]
      6. Finally, if all above is not possible without changing templates, can I somehow redirect to whatever page I want instead, after clicking on single event so I can control the total look of the page?

    Thank you for your help. I really like your plugin and I hope I can find a way to manipulate it.

  • Hi @skopelosvillas

    Thank you for using our plugin. Sorry to say but we don’t have any pagebuilder to generate event detail page. For now you need to generate or make changes in template files by overriding to your theme side.

    1. Do you mean the URL structure of single event page? You can change the event slug from your admin panel settings ->permalink changes the event settings. We don’t have an archive page for now but you can use events shortcode to list all the events.

    2. You need to override content-single-event-listing.php to your theme side and remove the buttons fro the template files.
    3.By default your theme will inject the featured image or logo at top that you can remove by addign following code to your themes functions.php file 

    function wordpress_hide_feature_image( $html, $post_id, $post_image_id ) {
  return is_singular( 'event_listing' ) ? '' : $html;
}
// add the filter
add_filter( 'post_thumbnail_html', 'wordpress_hide_feature_image', 10, 3);

    4. Comments are added by your theme you might have to find a way to disable comments for the event. For more informatino please see this doc
    5. To change the text please override template file called “event-listings-start.php” to your theme side and change the text in this file.

    6. If you try to override one template it will makes more easy for you do achieve all the customizations. Please ready documentation and try to follow the steps it will fix all your issue.

    Thank you

    Hi @hiteshmakvana

    Thanks for taking the time to help me out here!

    I found quite a few aspects that seem to be hard-coded and non-changeable! But, first things, first:
    Do you intend on making this plugin page-builder compatible at all? That would be super helpful, especially for Elementor and WP native block builder.
    Now for my questions above:

    1. I didn’t mean the URL structure at all. I meant the single-event page that users end up after clicking on the Event summary itself. How would I edit this? Do I need to override files and copy them to my child theme?
    For questions 2 & 3 I will have a go at overriding them and trying to change things from there, (example, page background of single-event, I want to match that of my theme).
    On the URL you gave me about ‘Overriding files via a Theme’, at the end of documentation it mentions that I need to update version number when I update the plugin. Can you please briefly describe how I do that??

    Question 4:
    About comments, while I know how to generally turn them off, this doesn’t work for my ‘single-event’ page. I can’t turn it off from Admin cause this page doesn’t exist in admin, which is why I asked (in questions 1,2 and 3), how can I manipulate this page! While turning off comments in Admin, (for posts through Settings > Discussion), this doesn’t apply to this page!

    Question 6:
    So is there a way to redirect to a different page if user clicks on an Event?? That would be super useful, because then I could design that page to match my theme exactly and add some navigation so that users can go back to Event Summary page!!!

    Hope this all makes sense!!

    Thanks again for your time!!

    Hi,
    Anyone here to help out please??

    Hi @skopelosvillas

    We are working on single event page builder compatiblity.

    1. Yes, you need to override template file.
    2. If you need more features as per the update you need to update the template file the same asyou have overridden. It’s up to you if you want to update otherwise you can leave it as it is.

    4. I would suggest you check with any other theme or default theme it will disable the comments. If you theme doesn’t provide settings you might have to add custom settings.

    6. Yes, override template file called “content-event_listing.php” to your theme side and change the a tag URL as per your needs.

    Thank you

    Hi,
    This is proving wayyyy more complex than I’d like to deal with right now!

    I have moved to a different plugin that’s providing all the functionality I need and for free!

    Thanks anyway!

    Note: Why would you automatically ‘Resolve’ my thread?? It just shows that you’re not willing to clarify/help your potential customers any further – that’s not the way to go forward my friend ??

    Hi @skopelosvillas

    We have resolved because all the information provided are enough to help you. If you still need help to let us know.

    Most of the query related documentation is provided in the thread.
    Thank you
