Add a sidebar to single events

[rhysgregory]

Hi guys.

I’m hoping you can help.

I recently installed the event calendar to my WordPress theme.

At the moment, I’m feeling like I’m under utilising the space on single events:
https://wales247.co.uk/event/cardiff-breakfast-club/

It would be great to find out how I can add a widgetised sidebar to these so that I can cross-promote news content, as well as events.

I have had a look in the forum and in the settings, but can’t find out how/where to do it.

Any help would greatly be appreciated,

Thank you.

Rhys

Hello Rhys,

You can change which page template is used for the Events pages in Events > Settings > Display > Events template. Additional templates that show here are what your theme provides. If your theme does not offer a page template with a sidebar, you would need to create one and add it to your child theme. Then it will show up in this list.

If you need more information about creating a custom WordPress Template, check out this link: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/

You can also create custom templates for the events templates as well. You can read more about that in our Themer’s Guide.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions about this.

Thanks,
Sky
