Hi again,
I’m looking for a way to set the calendar as start page in my wordpress configuration. The calendar does not appear as option in the setting’s read section.
At the same moment i want to add custom content like text and images in top of the calendar (after it’s set as start page).Happy St Nicholas’ Day after midnight,
gottdnsHi there, gottdns! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome back to the forums. 🙂
Great questions. I do want to note first of all, though, that we are fairly limited in terms of helping out with custom development questions like this one. That said, we’d love to point you in the right direction if we can.

You can show events in the main blog loop by heading over to Events > Settings > General Settings and checking the box to “Include events in main blog loop”. However, I think what you’re looking for is a way to make the full calendar your site’s homepage. While we don’t support that right out of the box, there is a third party plugin called Event Rocket, that will help make that happen. We don’t support that plugin here in the forums, but it’s certainly worth checking out.

You have a couple of different options here. One is to override the default-template.php template file and include your custom content and images directly in the template. Check out our Themer’s Guide for a detailed overview of how to override and customize calendar templates.
Another option is to hook into the tribe_events_before_html() filter and include your custom content and images in the filter by adding it to your theme’s functions.php file. For example, here is an example of how to use the filter to output custom content in the Month View for the calendar.
Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
GeoffHey there, just checking in to see if there’s been any further update or if you still need assistance on this one–let me know. 🙂
By the way, I forgot to mention that there is an option to include custom content to the top of your calendar page under Events > Settings > Display. If you head down to the “Advanced Template Settings” section, there is an area for you to add custom HTML before the plugin’s content.
Cheers!
Geoff
