Different template for single event page

[festivalsamsterdam]

Hi guys,

I have gone trough a lot of documentation and discussions here, but please give me a little further help.

I would like to use the regular template in all calendar views, but a different one on the single event view.

I created a new template (page-test.php) in my child theme and added the lines below on top of this template file and I’ve chosen for this template in the event settings. The single event page returns a blank page.

<?php /* Template Name: page-test */ ?>

<?php 
if (tribe_is_event() && is_single()) {
        get_template_part('page-test');
        return;
}
?>

I tried this the other way around as well, so adding these lines on my default template (page.php). But again, single view returns blank.

Please help me out 🙂 Thanks!

Hi

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

I do not think the coding you provided would work as you are not hooking into the WordPress to determine which template to use. I do not have coding available on how to do that, but WordPress may have examples on changing a single custom post type template.

I would instead look to modifying our single-events template which you can do following our themer’s guide:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
