Call event title outside of single-event.php page

[Kari Acker]

Hi,

I’m trying to call the title of the event outside of the single-event.php page. I’m using the same title code the single-event.php uses.

<h1 class='tribe-events-single-event-title'><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

If you inspect element and take a look at the code you can see an empty h1 tag that should have the title in it.

Im adding this code on a custom template that i’m using for the events template in the settings. I can get the page navigation and the event date to show up but the title will not. Any ideas? I don’t currently have the nav and date showing.

Hi, Kari.

I’m unsure if you’re overriding our template files or doing something else.

I see our /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php file does use the_title() so I’d expect it to work in your template override as well.

If, however, you’re trying to output it elsewhere, you might want to see if the post/event ID is available and then use something like this (untested code):

Please let me know how things go for you.
