Display Questions

[Amy]

Hi! I have a couple of questions about the way my events are displayed:

1) Can I configure how much text shows up in the “List” View in my Events Calendar Pro Events page?
http://www.wedialogue.com/events/

I basically just want the thumbnail photo, date, event title, price. and a line or two of copy. (I tried using the “excerpt” field but it didn’t seem to make a difference)

2) Can I hide the “event tags” in the single event view?

3) Can I change the color of the Upcoming Events “date” background in the “Events List” widget? And if so, how?
Here’s the widget on my front page: http://www.wedialogue.com/

4) (What does “Photo View” mean in my Events page options? I tried and there was literally no content showing, even though I have a full calendar and featured images, so I figure it must be something else 🙂

Thanks so much for your help!

Good afternoon Amy and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

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

1) Can I configure how much text shows up in the “List” View in my Events Calendar Pro Events page?
http://www.wedialogue.com/events/

Absolutely.

Normally, to do that, you will need to use the Excerpt metabox from your Events or code your functions.php to control the length of the excerpt being displayed.

1. https://theeventscalendar.com/the-trouble-with-excerpts/
2. https://theeventscalendar.com/under-the-hood-filtering-excerpts-events-calendar/

Since you mentioned that the excerpt field had no impact, I suspect that your theme might be getting in the way (either through a setting or something defined in functions.php)

Could you please send me a copy of the latest version of your WordPress theme / child theme via a link to a .zip file link (stored Dropbox or Google Drive) so that I can run some tests on my end ? I recommend a private reply for that purpose.

Please ensure you are using the latest files as found on your actual website.
This way I will get access to any updates or customizations you might have made.

2) Can I hide the “event tags” in the single event view?
http://www.wedialogue.com/event/deep-dive-the-circle-way/

Actually, this is not a single event view, but rather the list view of all the recurring events for deep dive the circle way.

In other words, hiding them there will also hide them here http://www.wedialogue.com/events/

Try adding the following CSS rule to your style.css file or in your Custom CSS metabox:

.tribe-events-list .tribe-events-venue-details {
display:none !important;
}

3) Can I change the color of the Upcoming Events “date” background in the “Events List” widget? And if so, how?
Here’s the widget on my front page: http://www.wedialogue.com/

Yes, that is possible.

.tribe-mini-calendar-event .list-date {
background: red !important;
}

4) (What does “Photo View” mean in my Events page options? I tried and there was literally no content showing, even though I have a full calendar and featured images, so I figure it must be something else ?

The photo view should look like this: http://wpshindig.com/events/photo/

If that is not the case, you might want to try a different setting for Events Template under Events -> Settings -> Display.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Good evening Amy,

As promised, I installed your theme and I ran some tests.

1) Can I configure how much text shows up in the “List” View in my Events Calendar Pro Events page?

Actually, using the “Excerpt” field from the Edit Event screen worked like a charm with your theme.

I would recommend:

1. Giving it another shot
2. Trying out the snippets in the recommended articles
3. Making sure your site cache is refreshed (if you have a caching plugin)
4. Making sure your browser cache is refreshed

If none of that works, as a first troubleshooting step, could you please provide us with your complete system information in a private reply using the instructions found in the following link?

2) Can I hide the “event tags” in the single event view?

Let me know if my previous suggestions work.

4) (What does “Photo View” mean in my Events page options? I tried and there was literally no content showing, even though I have a full calendar and featured images, so I figure it must be something else ?

I was also successful in displaying the photo view on my end with your theme.
Based on your system info, I will know more, but it is possible that there is some type of conflict at play.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!

Hello!

I’m passing through to mention a conflict between Events Calendar Pro’s Photo View and the X Theme.

That conflict is likely a part of the problems mentioned in this thread. We identified the conflict and the X Theme team is working on a fix within their theme code — there is not a specific release date for this fix yet, but it should be arriving fairly soon (e.g. a few weeks from the date of my posting this message, if all goes according to plan).

Please be sure to update your copy of X Theme whenever new update available, so that when this fix is finally released in the theme code, you get your hands on it as soon as it’s available.

Stay tuned to X Theme updates!

Thanks,
George
