Create Events Page

[bobyz01]

Hello,

I installed the plug-in and works fine, but, i have a question.
In admin panel i got this message: Where is my calendar? Right here.
When i click on anchor text right here, send me to this page: http://www.website.com/events and this is the page with all events.
If i check in wordpress admin > pages, this page events is not created, not exist in pages.

How this page is created? If it does not exist physically in wordpress pages, how cand i edit the page? How can i creat my own page with events? It`s a short code to attach on a new page or something like that ? Do you have a tutorial ?

Thanks.

Hey there Bogdan

The events page is an archive page. Think of it much the same as /blog can be set to display previews of all your “Posts”. It is generated when the plugin is activated. These tutorials can walk you through basic settings:

And if you’d like to customize the /Events page, please see our Themer’s Guide.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

I saw that the events page is an archive page same as a blog page.
but
if i want to disable that archive page already created, is possible? And if is possible, how ?

Because if I create another page will be 2 pages and it’s not good.

Hey Bodgan

There is no conflict if you want to use a shortcode to embed the calendar elsewhere.

If you disable the archive /events page, it will impact every place that has the “all events” link. This also can be overridden, but would also require some coding on your end. You’ll want to start in the Themer’s Guide to be sure any changes you make do not get impacted by updates.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-events-page/#post-1568713 can walk you through our process to remove the page if you really want to go that far.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/all-events-link-3/#post-1583485 could be a starting point for you to change where the “All Events” link goes.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Can you give me a concrete answer to my problem?
How do I disable the automatically created event page/ event archive post?
Give me a tutorial, a link to a tutorial, something that works.

Thanks.

Hi Bogdan

So sorry about that. This customization is a bit beyond our WScope of Support / Terms. As such, we don’t have a full tutorial available for you to follow.

Truly stripping it out on all levels is quite a task, but you could override key templates (like the main list.php, month.php … etc) and replace them with empty files, or do something like this:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function() {
    if ( get_query_var( 'eventDisplay' ) && ! is_singular() ) {
        // Make it as if the event view never existed
        exit( wp_redirect( 'https://www.youtube.com/embed/s6jYoagXmZE' ) );
    }
}, 5 );

Which would basically block folks from accessing event views, but not single events. This doesn’t do anything to remove links to the event views, though.

Do check our Themer’s Guide for help overriding our plugin so that things don’t break when we issue updates.

Do also remember to remove the /events from the menu, etc.

This is definitely a unique request, and as such, we really haven’t had a way to achieve this. If you think that is something you would like as a feature I encourage you to visit our User Voice Page and either upvote an existing request or make a new request there.

You can suggest it at http://tribe.uservoice.com.

Thanks

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!
