Customise default events calendar landing page

[CDC]

Hi there,

I believe I may have asked this question before but can’t quite recall getting a solution. I was wondering about how we could go about customising the default events landing page (the page in which all the events are listed). As there is no actual page to edit in the backend of WP, I was wondering whether we need to play around with the code in the CSS and whether there are any kinds of guidelines as to how to customise certain areas/parts of the page.

Basically, we would like to be able to do the following:
-Add custom text above the ‘upcoming events’ title
-Make the organiser’s name and details more prominent / a different colour – right now, with the default view I don’t there there are any organiser details until you actually click into an individual event page

Good evening CDC and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

To make changes to any Calendar view, you need to do a template override.

-Add custom text above the ‘upcoming events’ title

You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works (as this walks you through the different views and sections).

-Make the organiser’s name and details more prominent / a different colour – right now, with the default view I don’t there there are any organiser details until you actually click into an individual event page

For that, you will need to add the organizer information to the list view (still based on our Themer’s guide). Let me know if you need assistance figuring out how that works.

Best regards,

Geoff B.
