Change Page Title on Events Archive & On Individual Events

[Robert Norcross]

On our site, we have The Events Calendar archive page (http://98d.6a5.myftpupload.com/events/) but you notice it doesn’t have any title spot like we have on other pages (ex. http://98d.6a5.myftpupload.com/directory/). How do we add that to this page.

Additionally, on our single-event pages (ex. http://98d.6a5.myftpupload.com/event/pastor-to-pastor-connection/) we’d like to do the same thing; have a page title. Ideally, we’d like it to show the page title section and just pull in the name of the event.

How do we achieve both of these things?

Additionally, we have a side-question: We have the list view on our events archive page (http://98d.6a5.myftpupload.com/events/). Is it possible to set it to now show any details of the event? Notice our event titled “Fall Fest” has the information that’s on the single events page, but the other events don’t have any information in the list. Can we set it so on the archive page no details display. Basically the idea would be to just have the event title, date, time, and “Find out more” link.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Robert,

Thanks for reaching out!

All of your links were super helpful and I can see what you are talking about.  The pages that you have that are not related to The Events Calendar use the same templates as your theme, which is why they have that title spot that you are referring to.  The Events Calendar uses the archive template, so it does not pick up your theme.

One thing you can do is go to Events Settings–>Display and under the Basic Template Settings, you will Events Template.  From that dropdown, you can select a different template, and the template with your theme in place will yield the results that you are looking for.  This will change the template that The Events Calendar pulls from for all of you events-related pages.

To address your second question, you can use CSS to hide the elements that you do not want to show.  You can go to Customize at the top of your screen when you are viewing your site, and click on Additional CSS.  You can add something like this:

div.tribe-events-venue-details {

display: none;

}

#tribe-events .tribe-events-content p {

display:none;

}

 

Let me know how it works out and if you have any other questions related to this issue!

 

Thanks,

Jaime

Hey Jaime,
So, the CSS you gave me did work properly. Is there a way within that CSS to add a piece that also hides the location of the event on the archive page? If you notice the example page of ours, one shows a venue location (ex. http://98d.6a5.myftpupload.com/events ).

As for the page titles issue that I was having. Whenever I change the template that is under Settings > Display > Basic Template Settings > Events Template, it never adds a page title. Right now I just have the standard “Default Page Template”. I tried them all though. A side-note for you, I’m using the7 theme.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Robert,

I’m glad to hear that the CSS worked for you.  Did the first part work to hide the venue details?  Here it is again:

div.tribe-events-venue-details {

display: none;

}

And to answer your second question, if none of the templates related to your theme add the page title you are looking for, you may want to consider altering them yourself.

Here are some resources that can help get you started:

Let me know how it goes and if you have any other questions related to this issue!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
