Event Formatting

[Rich]

Greetings,

I am using your core Events Calendar with Event Tickets Plus (which I purchased this morning).

Wanting to change a couple things with the formatting, but not having any luck searching the knowledge base or forums.

1. I want to change the title of the page from “Events” to “Event Calendar”.

2. On the detail page for each event there is a vertical gray bar with Details, Organizer, Venue and Tickets. I want to delete the Details section completely as the information there (start and end dates, cost) are redundant. Cost is also confusing because the amount of the ticket is the deposit for the event, not the full cost.

3. Also want to change the alignment of the Organizer and Venue headings from align center to align left so they are consistent with the rest of the formatting on the page (including the Tickets heading).

Thank you in advance for your help.

Good afternoon Rich and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with these questions.

1. I want to change the title of the page from “Events” to “Event Calendar”.

Your best bet is to use the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/change-the-wording-of-any-bit-of-text-or-string/

2. On the detail page for each event there is a vertical gray bar with Details, Organizer, Venue and Tickets. I want to delete the Details section completely as the information there (start and end dates, cost) are redundant. Cost is also confusing because the amount of the ticket is the deposit for the event, not the full cost.

The best way to go about this would be to create a custom view template. You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Basically, you copy the file of the single event view to your theme and remove whatever section you do not want to display.

You could also simply hide it with CSS.

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

.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-event-meta .tribe-events-meta-group-details {
display: none;
}

3. Also want to change the alignment of the Organizer and Venue headings from align center to align left so they are consistent with the rest of the formatting on the page (including the Tickets heading).

.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-meta-group .tribe-events-single-section-title {
text-align: left;
}
Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
