Home Page Slider is showing on events page – No Bueno!

[tirotiro]

I left the default settings for the event page and the home page slider is showing up. I tried toggling through the different options but nothing changes. HELP! I am pretty sure it’s a theme conflict, but how can I fix it?

Hi there, Timothy! Welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out. 🙂

No bueno, indeed. When you go to Events > Settings > Display, do you have the “Default Events Template” selected for Events Template option (screenshot)? That template should only display event-related content. If you are using the default events template and the slider is still on the page, then I suspect the slider is being placed there either by the theme or another plugin.

Is the slider controlled by the theme or by a plugin? I would start by heading to the settings for it to see if there are options for where to include and exclude it from showing.

I also noticed that there is breadcrumb on the Events page that says: You are Home. Is it possible that theme thinks that the Events page is your homepage? If so, that would also explain why the slider is displayed.

If nothing else works, I would suggest following our steps to test for conflicts. This will help determine whether this is an issue with theme, the plugin, or another installed plugin.

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

I will give that a go, Geoff. Thanks for answering so quickly. The slider is a plugin (Soliloquy) and I do have the Default Events template chosen. The theme is definitely treating it like the home page, but I’m not sure why. Thanks for your input though.

My pleasure, Timothy! Thanks for confirming the issue with the theme conflict. I’m going to make a note of the conflict for future reference in case it comes up again.

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
