Display Template Settings: Blank Page

[Mickey Williams]

I am testing your plugin with Divi by Elegant Themes and it does not recognize the Blank Page template. Our entire site uses the Blank Page because we want a clean look that does not display any headers, footers or navigation. I have modified your Display Settings -Template Settings to the Blank Page option, but it is not working. Please see the Website link above. This looks like a great plugin. Please let me know why it does not display correctly. Thanks.

Good evening Mickey and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

Would you mind telling me which version of Divi you are using ?
The reason I ask is because I just tested the blank page template successfully with our product.

In any case, I do have good news for you.
We are about to release the ability to have full calendar shortcodes for our Events Calendar Pro customers: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/

This should be part of version 4.3 scheduled for release mid October.

That means that you will be able to simply paste the shortcode in the normal page of your choice, which in turn solves everything.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Good evening Mickey,

Thank you for writing back.

Did the navigation menu display when you browsed the URL I sent?

I actually did not receive that URL for some reason. But I ran some additional tests specifically with the menu and the header in mind while using the blank page and I can see what you mean.

Here are all the plugins we are using with the site. Maybe the last one is the problem?

I do not think the last plugin is the issue here.
I have given this some thought and I am pretty sure that what is going on is that Divi is not recognizing the Calendar page as a “Page”.

The reason for this is because it is not actually a real page, but rather some complex use of the WordPress archive template.

In other words, you have 3 options ahead of you:

1. Through the use of a Divi child theme, augment the conditionals in the header.php of Divi so that it treats the calendar page the same way as it does the blank page template
2. Get a copy of our the Events Calendar Pro premium add-on when version 4.3 comes out
3. Hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

I am afraid that this is as far as I can provide support in this context.

We unfortunately do not offer support for our free plugin in this premium add-ons forum.

But, the good news is that you are still welcome to consult this forum to your liking and browse it for solutions, snippets and tutorials.

If you don’t mind, in the future could you please post your support questions here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/the-events-calendar so that they can get the required attention?

Best regards,

Geoff B.
