[Plugin: The Events Calendar] Showing the Events on the home page

    Just wondering if anyone has come up with a solution as to how you can show the TEC events on your home page and still display the calendar correctly.

    I also find that Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> shows links to the regular post categories but not the events categories and would appreciate it if anyone has code that will show a link to either the post category or the event category as needed.

    Seems like links to events don’t show up under Recent Posts either. Any thoughts on that?

    I know that all of the above is because the new version of the plugin uses custom post types instead of post categories.

    Other issues I am having are:

    If I set a Featured Image it shows up on the single post page full-size above the post and again in the post with the size & placement that I have specified.

    The Google link works fine but the Google map is way too zoomed out.

    I am using plugin version 2.0.1, a custom theme, and the most recent version of WordPress.

    Thanks!

  • That’s not a bad idea but the calendar isn’t the only thing that would be on the home page.

    This is what I’m ultimately going for:

    IDK why your last comment has not updated here, but it seems like you would have to do that by editing one of the calendar templates, probably gridview.php IIRC. They used to say that of you want to modify the templates you should copy them to another folder but IDK if that is still true. If it’s no longer true then you would have to put your modifications back every time you upgrade the plugin.

    I’ve used this code and it worked great until I noticed that it made the ‘featured page’ on the home page disappear (specifically called out in my theme – restaurant theme from organic themes). Any advice on how to get that back or revised code?
