Calendar as static front page

[bodin]

Hi,

I am trying to figure our how to make The Calendar as the STATIC FRONT PAGE on my theme in WordPress.

I’ve watched a video tutorial on how to add it to the menu, but not as a static front page.

Tried to search but did not find anything here in the forum. 🙂

Thank you in advance!

Sincerely,
Andreas

One approach is to simply include the gridview template from within whichever theme template relates to your front page:

include '{path-to-your-theme}/events/gridview.php';

Note that if they navigate to a different month etc or return to the calendar from a single event page they will still return to the version found at yoursite.com/events (if you are using that slug).

Hope that makes sense!

(If you don’t have an events directory in your theme you would need to create one – please see this and this for details.)

Thank you Barry!

I’ll give it a try to see if I can master this. 🙂

That work for you Bodin?

It is pulling in posts instead of events when I try this.

Hi jadonulrich, can you provide a URL so I can see your site? Which file did you edit (and can you share the code via Pastebin or Gist)?
