Events page: how to display sidebar?

[Rafael]

Hello support, the plugin’s automatically-generated events page does not display the sidebar. How can I edit that page to show the sidebar?

Do you have a link for the site. Not sure what could be the cause most likely theme issues.

Have you tried changing the default template on this page:

Events > Settings > Display > Events Template Field

That may help out.

Let me know about your site though and I can take a look if changing that setting above does not help.

Thanks

Thanks Brian. My theme allows a general setting for all pages to show/hide the sidebar, and in addition that setting can be overridden on each individual page. On the plugin’s settings page you mentioned it doesn’t matter which template I choose, regardless of the theme’s general setting for pages (show/hide sidebar) the events page never shows the sidebar.

Can you help me out? How can I display the sidebar?

Unfortunately, not much we can suggest to resolve this.

The settings need to be changed for the Events Archive Page as that is what WordPress considers is the Events Calendars View. Not sure where that is in your theme, but the theme developer maybe to help out on that.

The other option is to edit the templates by following our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

Then you could add the sidebar by manually coding it in and change the css to format correctly.

Either way I am afraid it is beyond the support we can provide to provide the entire solution for this. I can try to answer more questions about the Events Calendar if you have them related to this.

Thanks

Thanks Brian, I’ll try to figure it out using the themer’s guide.

Ok sounds good.

Since you marked this resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you have any questions related to this or something new, please create a new ticket for us to help you out 🙂
