Configure Events Pro with Genesis Theme

[nickw55]

Hello, I have been struggling to set this up with my genesis theme and I was hoping someone could help me. Here are my items I need help with configuring and I cannot find the right documentation for these specific items:

1. I selected the ‘Tribe Events Styles’ for the template but our calendar looks just grey and not as fancy as the demo. Is there more styles to pick to make this look a little nicer? https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/
2. How do you set what the featured image will be on Category pages: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/category/solidworks-training
3. How do you put the H1 content and date/time on the top of the page in front of the featured image like the rest of our pages: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/store/
4. How do you make the featured image not show in the body of the event pages and only show in the above hero image at the top? https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/solidworks-essentials/
5. How do you remove “category” from the URL? https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/category/solidworks-training
6. How do you remove “Events for” from the H2 title: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/category/solidworks-training/
7. How do you display a multi-day event to only show on the start date on the month calendar?
8. How do you display the multi day event to show the day and time like this: November 27 – 30 @ 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM

Do support people reply to these? Or how long does it typically take?

Hello nickw55,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums!

Yes, I can confirm, support people do reply to these. 🙂 According to our support policy we reply to every thread within 24-48 hours in the working week and of course we strive to keep the waiting time as little as possible.

Although I’m not a Genesis expert but will try to help you out the best I can.

Before we jump into your questions I’d like to recommend this article on Genesis theme framework integration.

Another useful article will be the one on Stylesheets and Page Templates.

And last but not least I will be referring to our Themer’s Guide as well.

1. I selected the ‘Tribe Events Styles’ for the template but our calendar looks just grey and not as fancy as the demo. Is there more styles to pick to make this look a little nicer?

Which demo are you referring to here?

There is a basic style provided with the calendar. You can make some adjustments to it through the Customizer which you can access through Appearance > Customize > The Events Calendar.

The parts which you cannot customize through the customizer can be adjusted with CSS.

2. How do you set what the featured image will be on Category pages

The Events Calendar doesn’t have an option for this. It’s possible there is a setting for this in Genesis or there is a plugin which will allow you to assign featured images to taxonomies.

3. How do you put the H1 content and date/time on the top of the page in front of the featured image like the rest of our pages

Where exactly would you like to do this, on which view? List view or single event view? I checked single events and it looks like you already have it like that.

4. How do you make the featured image not show in the body of the event pages and only show in the above hero image at the top?

On the page you referenced I already see the featured image as the hero image.

If you want to remove the featured image from event pages, then this snippet will help you:

function remove_featimage( $content ) {
return;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_event_featured_image', 'remove_featimage' );

5. How do you remove “category” from the URL?

This is not a feature of our plugin. You can find plenty of solutions here. You can use plugins or snippets, as you like.

6. How do you remove “Events for” from the H2 title:

Probably the best approach would be using the ‘Say What‘ plugin.

Once installed and activated go to Tools > Text changes and make an entry like this. That should do the trick.

7. How do you display a multi-day event to only show on the start date on the month calendar?

At the moment there is no built-in option for that. You will need to do some customization for that. I can look around if we have something that can get you started on this, but I would like to bring it to your attention that we are limited in creating and supporting customizations. If you’d like I can share with you a list of independent devs who can help you out with this.

8. How do you display the multi day event to show the day and time like this:

You should be able to do this with a template override. Refer to our Themer’s Guide on how to create overrides.

I hope this helps you get started. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
Andras

Oh, on question #7 a colleague just shared this with me, which I’m now sharing with you:

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
