Displaying only first day of multi-day event

[understandphoto]

Hello there!
I know that there is a feature request to display multiple day events spanning across just like on google calendar – I can’t wait. But until that happens is there a way to display (on monthly view) only the first day of a multi-day event?

Thanks!!

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

There is not a way to do this out of the box, but you could do it via a template override – our themer’s guide has some instructions on this, and the template that you would want to copy and edit can be found at wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/month/loop-grid.php. This file contains the loop that populates the days on the month view, so this could be customized to only display multi-day events on the first day.

Customizations like this are outside the scope of support that we are able to provide here in the forums, but if you’d prefer not to tackle this customization on your own, we may be able to assist you further. What I can do is flag this with the team and – although we can’t make any promises – if we have time and space to come back and help, we’ll be happy to do so.  Please let us know if you’d like to go this route so that you can be added to this queue.

In the meantime, if there is any more information you can share (including mocks) that will help us to better understand what you are seeking please do feel free to add them to this ticket.

If you urgently need help with this, however, you may instead wish to consider working with a suitably skilled developer or designer who can offer the additional level of support you require.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer! I’ll look into it.

No problem! Would you like to be added to the queue to potentially have one of our developers come back through and help you further with this? It would likely not be until next week, as our current support volume is a bit higher than normal at the moment.

No thank you, Jennifer.

No problem, please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!

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!
