Events Page in Backend

[Torben]

Dear Team,

1. I would love to know if there is a way to show the Events page within the “Pages” section of the WP Backend?

2. If not, is there a way to shut down the events page and just use the [tribe_events view=”list” tribe-bar=”true”] shortcode?

Best Regards,

Torben

An addition to my previous request, we would love to integrate the calendar into the divi theme logic (divi builder) (and using own design)

Hey Torben,

Thanks for reaching out!

1. I would love to know if there is a way to show the Events page within the “Pages” section of the WP Backend?

↑ This is unfortunately not possible because the Events “page” is not really a page — it’s an “endpoint” made to behave like a page; think if it more as a “feed” than a page. We constructed things in this way to better manage performance and provide more flexible URL structures.

With this in mind, you can actually cause problems if you try to make a “real page” whose slug is the same as The Events Calendar events page. So, if your Events Calendar URL slug is /calendar/, and you make a “real page” in your wp-admin called Calendar (and so its URL slug would also be /calendar/), issues can arise with the calendar.

You can’t “shut down” the page, but you could do a couple of things about it to hide it from public view. A super easy, though not thorough, solution would be to just give it a very obscure calendar URL. So instead of something simple and obvious like /events/ or /calendar/, you could head into Events → Settings in your wp-admin and make the URL slug be something like /full-events-calendar-page/ or some other long, non-obvious URL. Then, just don’t link to this page anywhere on your site. It would then be pretty unlikely any person would stumble across this page!

Once this is done, you could then use the [tribe_events] shortcode wherever you see fit and proceed with that…

Another solution would be to use redirects to make it so that any time someone went to the URL of the main Events Calendar events page on your site, they were redirected automatically to somewhere else. Our plugins don’t provide redirect functionality; but there are many ways to do redirects. Simply research “how to redirect on WordPress” online and you’ll find a ton of helpful articles and methods.

Our plugins don’t have any sort of special integration with theme builders out-of-the-box, but you can totally do this and make any custom designs you’d like! To be clear, we are not able to assist with these sorts of projects (please read here for more information as to why not). But yes, you can customize whatever you would like.

I hope this information helps!

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.

Thanks so much!
