Event preview not clickable

[Sarah]

In calendar view on iPad it is confusing to users when they click on an event. People are then trying to click on that preview to go through to the event. Is there a way to make the pop up clickable? Have a button ‘see more’ etc?

If this is not possible, could we disable the pop-up and have the link just take them straight through to the event instead of showing the pop up?

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I would be happy to help you 🙂

In order to make the pop up clickable, here are a few steps to follow (you may want to read our Theme’s Guide before doing anything):

1. Copy the file located at /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/month/tooltip.php (that is the template we want to override)
2. Create a folder in your custom theme or child theme called tribe-events. And inside of it, create a month folder.
3. paste the tooltip.php in that newly created folder (so it will be under wp-content/themes/your-theme/tribe-events/month).
4. Edit the file by adding <a href="[[=raw permalink]]">before your <h4>‘s (and </a> after your </h4>‘s).

I hope this helps,

Have a great weekend,
Jeremy

Fabulous, thanks. I ended up putting the </a> tag after the whole text so the whole thing is clickable. But this was perfect.
