Hi @bruciebruce,

Thanks for reaching out. I’m glad to hear you’re a programmer! We cannot offer any help with customizing things, so the fact that you have some knowledge here is a huge help.

I do not quite understand what you are trying to build, which I’m sorry about, but if you need 4 specific events in a specific order that will work 100% of the time, I think your best bet might be to use the tribe_get_events() function and then use the WP_Query parameter post__in to specify which 4 events to query.

If you’re not familiar with either thing I just mentioned, then you will have do some research and tinkering, but here are some resources to help with that:

• Using tribe_get_events() → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/
• WP_Query, where you can learn about the post__in parameter → https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

We cannot help with custom coding, so while I unfortunately cannot provide more insight on this checkout-page customization, if you have any other questions here please let me know!

Hey @bruciebruce,

I’m glad to hear there is some progress. For ensuring the display of featured images, you will have to use the tribe_event_featured_image() function in custom templates. You can read about this process here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

We unfortunately cannot provide code-level help 🙁 You will have to take the reins on your customizations. For example, when it comes to locating “Buy Now” buttons, these are not generated by The Events Calendar itself for example, they will be coming from your eCommerce plugin most likely.

To find where this markup is, a great method is to do a “Find in folder” search on your site’s “wp-content/plugins” directory for the markup associated with the Buy Now button. This searching should eventually lead you to the file inside your site’s code where the markup is generated, and you can tweak and tinker from there.

I wish you the best of luck with your customizing! I’m sorry we cannot assist with these projects. If you need further help with things on a code level, I would recommend researching online or hiring a professional developer to assist further. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simple some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

Best of luck with your project,
George
