Hey @marxedproject,
Thanks for reaching out! These are all, unfortunately, things that you can only achieve by writing custom code. We do not support custom code here, but I can hopefully at least point you in the right direction:
First, you’ll want to read through our Themer’s Guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
That goes over how to make customizations like the ones you want to make in a safe way.
Once you’ve got the hang of that system, you can use it to then piece together your customizations. You’ll want to read through the src/views files of both The Events Calendar, Events Calendar Pro, and of Filter Bar itself, to get a sense of how the views work and, for example, which ones affect the photo view and where to add code to move the Filter Bar itself.
I know this information is vague, and apologize for that – I just wanted to help you get started with the customization process in general. Definitely give that Themer’s Guide a read, and if you have any more specific followup questions from there, let me know right away! 🙂 I’ll be happy to help offer some more specific advice along the way.
Cheers!
George
