Determing If Page is a Calendar Page

[Victoria]

How do I go about determining if the current page is one of the Calendar pages (month or list)?

If I use get_the_ID(), it oddly returns the page ID of the first event on the calendar page….not the top-level/parent page ID.

Is this a glitch? Is there another way to check?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here.

The main views of Month, List, Map, etc are archives in WordPress so they do not have an id to the get_the_id() will not work as you found out. That is not a glitch, but a result of the setup for the views.

I have this list of conditionals for you to determine what view you are on:

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

Thanks, but this doesnt really help since those conditionals are only available after the EC code is being initialized/generated – and not beforehand via the theme’s functions.php

I want to be able to change some theme elements if the month/list pages are being viewed. Heck, any of the public EC pages really.

Hi,

I use them all the time in the theme’s functions.php you have to load them inside of WordPress’s action and filter system to work correctly.

That is all we have for conditionals too.

If that is not going to work for you. We do have a themer’s guide where you can move and edit any of the event templates in your theme:
