change the template of the single event

[Fabrizio]

Dear Support,

I am testing your plug in and I kind of like it. However, what I really dislike is the lay out of the single event. Whatever template I try from the drop down list it doe not change that much. The feature image is far too big standing out at the center of the page (I would even hide it), the grey container on the left with some event info is something I would put differently. The question is how can I modify it at my like without going into too much coding?

Once this is sorted I will surely go for PRO.

Thanks,
Fabrizio

Good evening Fabrizio and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products and your great words.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

However, what I really dislike is the lay out of the single event. The feature image is far too big standing out at the center of the page (I would even hide it), the grey container on the left with some event info is something I would put differently.

You have 2 approaches to this:

1. Certain WordPress themes (e.g.: Avada, Eventica, etc…) already contain customizations on some of our views.
2. You can customize any view exactly to your liking using template overrides (custom views). You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

   In a nutshell, you find the single view files, you edit them and you upload them back in your WordPress theme’s folder (following the proper path).

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
