Events won't show with sidebar with X theme / Pro theme

[Dorothy]

Hi there 🙂
Firstly I just want to say how pleased I have been with the Events Calendar. I have the Pro version and I think it is awesome!

I wanted to write this post to help others as I couldn’t find a solution on-line when I had problems with the sidebar not showing on the main events page when using Pro theme (similar to X theme by Themeco) . I hope this is useful.

I recently changed my theme to Pro but already had Events Calendar Pro running the the website and it was working really well with the previous theme.

Unfortunately, in changing themes the main events page wouldn’t display with a side bar – similar to this post here by Piccia https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/cant-have-event-post-with-sidebar-with-x-theme/

I tried Killigirl’s idea of making a custom template (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/cant-have-event-post-with-sidebar-with-x-theme/) but it didn’t work for me unfortunately. The sidebar would show but the events wouldn’t load. I got a garbled message instead.

So I created a copy of the default-template.php from \wp-content\plugins\the-events-calendar\src\views” and placed it in \wp-content\themes\pro-child\tribe-events

I then copied the layout from
\wp-content\themes\pro-child\framework\views\renew\template-layout-content-sidebar.php
and used this to create the layout I wanted for the events page. It looked like this:

<?php
/**
 * Default Events Template
 * This file is the basic wrapper template for all the views if 'Default Events Template'
 * is selected in Events -> Settings -> Template -> Events Template.
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/default-template.php
 *
 * @package TribeEventsCalendar
 *
 */
if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	die( '-1' );
}

get_header();?>

<div class="x-container max width offset">
    <div class="<?php x_main_content_class(); ?>" role="main">
		<div id="tribe-events-pg-template">
		<?php tribe_events_before_html(); ?>
		<?php tribe_get_view(); ?>
		<?php tribe_events_after_html(); ?>
		</div> <!-- #tribe-events-pg-template -->
 	</div>
 	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>

<?php
get_footer();?>

I don’t know if this is the best solution but it works for me and I hope that helps someone else with the same problems.

Stoked to hear that, Dorothy 🙂

Your solution looks great to me – clean and simple and best of all, by the sounds of things, it works! I really appreciate you sharing this.
