Custom HTML before event content – controlling where it appears

[Paul]

Hi

In settings I have defined custom HTML to appear as per image.
It appears on EVERY page by default.

Can I control where it appears – I would rather it didn’t appear on some pages.

For example – I have the Community Events add on.
When adding a new event on /events/community/add it doesn’t make sense to include the text there.

Thanks

Hi, Paul.

You might benefit from putting your custom content in one of these 2 extensions:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/content/uploads/2016/12/tribe-ext-calendar-widget-areas.zip (how-to article is yet to be published but you can click here for existing screenshots)
• https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/display-custom-html-specific-calendar-views/

Please let me know how this goes for you.

Hi Cliff

Thanks for your reply. I have already manged to get extra text specifically on the “Add new community Event” page, but modifying that template. In the attached image, it is the text directly above the EVENT TITLE.
(just spotted my typo on “Sumbit an Event”, lol, had best fix that!)

Anyway… what i need to do is in fact REMOVE the text at the top – as cirecled in red.

This text is defined in
Setting -> Display -> Advanced Template Settings -> Add HTML before event content

This appears on every page – calendar, event, whatever… which is in the main fine, but I want to exclude it from this one single page, the one produced by “community/edit-event.php”. Happy to modify whichever template it is which controls the placement of this text – i just need to know which template, and what conditional code to test for being on the Community Add page…

Thanks

Paul, I think this is the snippet you’re looking for:

Hi Cliff
thanks code look EXACTLY like what i would need… the only problem left – is I have no idea where to put the code!
I assume its not simply inserted into the template I tried and it didn’t work)
Can you advise the specific location for the php file, or the contents of it, ie whatever is needed to apply such filters?
thanks

Welcome to WordPress customizing!

Best practice for adding custom code (like to implement a PHP snippet to modify The Events Calendar) is to create a functionality plugin, unless it’s something specific to your theme, in which case best practice is to make sure you’re using a child theme, then add the customization to your child theme’s functions.php file.

I hope this information helps!
