Custom Page Template

[Michael]

I’m attempting to use wordpress’ native handling of custom post types to deliver a specific page template to the event landing page.
I’ve created the single-tribe_events.php file, but it seems to be ignored.
Any ideas?!

Hi Michael,

Great question, it’s not working for me either and I’m not sure why. I’m going to refer to another dev to chime in. Look for a response shortly.

Regards,

Hi Michael,

Our plugin is set-up to use it’s own single view file, which you can overwrite with your own copy, using the technique explained in this FAQ article -> https://theeventscalendar.com/?qa_faqs=what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them. Doing so, you’ll have the exact same functionality as rolling your own single-tribe_events.php, it’s just a different filename and inside the ‘events’ folder.

As an aside, the templating/handling of views is something we’re going to carefully review in a future version, but it’s not the #1 priority either.

Hope that helps

Thanks Joey, That does help.

You guys have an awesome product. Looking forward to seeing it grow as wordpress matures as a cms.
