Changing Breadcrumb type Event links from …/eventsdefault to calendar page

[Michael]

My main monthly calendar page is a custom page …../events which includes some text and the [tribe_events view=”month”] shortcode. This page includes the standard header and main menu.

When viewing single events or the sidebar event listing and clicking on links that say “Back to Events” or “View More” the link is to …/eventsdefault, which does not include a header of menu. I see in Settings that “eventsdefault” is defined as the Events URL slug. If I change that setting to “events”, it overrides my /events page for the site. How can I make this work so that my custom events page works and the links also go to my custom page rather than the default page?

I hope this makes sense!

Hello again Michael,

Thanks for reaching out!

I believe the easiest would be to use redirection with plugin and redirect the /eventsdefault slug to /events .

Would this solve it for you? Let me know.

Cheers,
Andras

Hello András,

I hadn’t considered using a redirect plugin. I tested one and it seems to work. However, I do try to minimize my plugins. Is there no way within TEC settings to have the event slug access a custom page without confusing the whole setup?

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Meanwhile I also had discussions if there is another solution, without a plugin.

Try pasting this snippet into your functions.php file and see if it does the trick.

It should adjust all links that would point to the main calendar page. Of course, change the URL so it fits your needs.

Does this do the trick?

A.

András (and Barry Hughes),

The PHP snippet solved the issue for me. Thank you for providing an alternative to the redirection plug-in.
