Altering Metabox display event info

[Christina]

To address a concern for our event coordinators we created an ADDITIONAL FIELD in the event calendar plugin for the event coord. to be able to enter an internal email address for the main event contact person.

On page: http://richmonddaysofsummer.ca/event/pirate-weekend-at-the-cannery/2015-09-20/ we want to remove the “INTERNAL EMAIL” address in the metabox on the right of the page. This is internal information for our event coordinators and don’t want this info broadcast to everyone. How this can be “turned off”?

I’ve gone through the settings and there is no where to disable it from appearing the in the event metabox so I’m assuming that it’s a coding issue. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi Christina,

There is indeed not a simple option or switch with which this can be turned on or off on the front-end of your site.

You will need to write custom CSS to hide this.

Try adding the following CSS to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:

div.tribe-events-meta-group.tribe-events-meta-group-other {
display: none !important;
}


That should hide that for you. For any further CSS tweaks to hide – other fields to hide, link color changes, all that sort of stuff – use a free tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome. They call come with “Inspector” tools that help you write custom CSS like I shared above.

Cheers!

Unfortunately that didn’t work… initially 😉

I modified the style.css file as indicated and no change occurred.

However, when I modifed this in WordPress and specifically the VANTAM Template -> General Setttings -> CUSTOM CSS and added the code suggested

div.tribe-events-meta-group.tribe-events-meta-group-other {
display: none !important;
}

it worked like a charm 🙂

Many thanks!
