Dynamically changing Calendar Title

[cmmize]

I want to specify a different Title on the calendar for different categories calendars displayed. (http://mydomain.com/events/category/investor-events/). I see that the title is pulled in this loop.php (/wp_theme/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/public/template-tags/loop.php) on line 102. Since you echo the title and don’t return it I can’t grab it in the content.php(which I can modify in my theme). How do i put that loop.php in my theme so I can customize it and not poison your installed plugin. I have put the /view directory files in the theme but didn’t find documentation on how to put core files in the theme.

Hi there Charles and welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately, the view files are the ones that can be overridden in your theme directory. However, you might be interested in checking out this snippet, which helps alter the calendar title. It contains a lot of different instances and conditions, but you should be able to play around with it to meet the specific conditions you are looking for. You can drop that directly in your functions.php file without having to touch any core or view template files. 🙂

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff
