functions.php<\/code> file or via a code snippets plugin. See Best Practices for Implementing Custom Code Snippets<\/a> for guidance. Always test changes in a staging environment<\/a> before applying them to your live site.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChange the Default Venue Slug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By default, single venue page URLs use the \/venue<\/code> slug \u2014 for example, yourdomain.com\/venue\/the-city-hall\/<\/code>. To change this base to something else like \/location<\/code> or \/space<\/code>, use the tribe_events_register_venue_type_args<\/code> filter, which modifies the arguments used when registering the Venues post type.<\/p>\n\n\n\nadd_filter( 'tribe_events_register_venue_type_args', function( $args ) {\n $args['rewrite']['slug'] = 'location'; \/\/ Change 'location' to your preferred slug\n return $args;\n} );\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nReplace location<\/code> with your preferred slug (e.g., space<\/code>, place<\/code>, or site<\/code>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u26a0\ufe0f Flush permalinks after adding this snippet.<\/strong> Whenever you change a rewrite rule, WordPress needs to regenerate its internal URL structure. Go to Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong> and click Save Changes<\/strong> (you don’t need to change anything). If you skip this step, your venue pages will return 404 errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAfter flushing, your venue URLs will use the custom slug \u2014 for example, yourdomain.com\/location\/the-city-hall\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChange the Meta Title for Venue Pages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By default, the meta title for venue pages is the venue’s name. For SEO purposes, you may want to override this with custom text.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadd_filter( 'document_title_parts', function ( $parts ) {\n if ( function_exists( 'tribe_context' ) && tribe_context()->get( 'view_request' ) === 'venue' ) {\n $parts['title'] = 'Notredame';\n }\n return $parts;\n} );\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nReplace Notredame<\/code> with the meta title you want to use. The same approach works for organizer pages and other metadata by adjusting the context check.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChange the Venue Address Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Venue addresses follow a fixed structure across the calendar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Single event page (classic and block editor) and venue page (Pro):<\/strong> Venue name \u2192 Street address \u2192 City, Province\/State Zip Country<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- List view (longer layout):<\/strong> Venue name<\/strong> Street address, City, Province\/State<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- List view and Photo view (compact):<\/strong> Venue name<\/strong> Street address, City<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"The](\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Old-Address.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSome languages format addresses differently. To change the structure, use a template override on the address module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source file to copy is:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\/wp-content\/plugins\/the-events-calendar\/src\/views\/modules\/address.php\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nPlace your override at:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n\/wp-content\/themes\/[your-child-theme]\/tribe-events\/modules\/address.php\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThe example below reformats the address for German conventions, which produces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Venue name<\/strong>
Street with number

By default, the organizer’s website link displays the text “View Organizer Website” rather than the actual URL. To show the URL instead, use the tribe_get_organizer_website_link_label<\/code> filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nadd_filter( 'tribe_get_organizer_website_link_label', 'custom_organizer_website_label_to_url', 10, 2 );\n\nfunction custom_organizer_website_label_to_url( $label, $post_id ) {\n $website_url = tribe_get_organizer_website_url( $post_id );\n return esc_html( $website_url );\n}\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nWith this snippet active, the organizer link displays the bare URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"An](\"https:\/\/images.theeventscalendar.com\/kb\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-29-at-23.42.55.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLinking the Venue Name to the Venue’s Website<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have venues that have their own websites, you can populate the Website<\/strong> field when creating a venue, and on the single event page, this URL is used on the View Venue Website<\/strong> link.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHowever, what if you do not find the need for your visitors to open the venue page, which happens when one clicks on the venue name in the single event page? You’re in luck! The following custom snippet, which you can add to your site (see Using Custom Code Snippets<\/a>), allows for the venue name in the single event page to be linked to the venue’s website URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\nadd_filter ( 'tribe_get_venue_link', function ( $link, $venue_id, $full_link, $url ) {\n\tif ( tribe_get_venue_website_url( $venue_id ) ) {\n\t\tif ( $full_link ) {\n\t\t\treturn $link = '<a href="' . tribe_get_venue_website_url( $venue_id ) . '">' . tribe_get_venue( $venue_id ) . '<\/a>';\n\t\t}\n\t\treturn $link = tribe_get_venue_website_url ( $venue_id );\n\t}\n\treturn $link;\n}, 20, 4 );\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nCustomize the Duplicate Venue and Organizer Merge Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
