NEW Custom Template/View

[Tate]

I love the Events Calendar Pro. I have customized tribe-events template to get the look I want, but now I want to do a bit more.

I am trying to add a NEW template/view to display events. For example, right now I have customized the “Photo” view to display how I want it. Now, I want another different view that is basically the same thing, but in 4 columns, instead of three. I can edit my current photo view, but then I’ll lose my 3-column option, which I want to keep. How can I add an additional view?

I have tried creating a WordPress Page Template, and loading the Tribe Events template pieces from there. However, when I do this, I get none or only 1 post, and none of the tribe-events css is applied.
If this is the best way to do it, would you please direct me in the correct process for creating a custom wordpress theme that displays tribe-events?

Hey Tate,

Thanks for reaching out!

We unfortunately can’t help with this process of creating new templates and all of that—it’s indeed an involved process that requires knowledge of code, of WordPress, and of how to navigate plugin files to find out how to recreate features and functions for your own needs.

I’m sorry to disappoint! ⚠️ Please read this page to learn more about plugin support → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/

If you need custom views and templates and other modifications, but aren’t able to implement such things entirely on your own, then I would encourage seeking the assistance of a professional developer. We have a list of great developers here, if it’s handy → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and we have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled).

While I cannot assist with your question here, just as a quick suggestion to try and help at least a little bit: if you are trying to have a four-column option that is totally separate from the existing three-column option, then perhaps a simple way to do this would be to make a custom page template and then write custom CSS from scratch and custom events queries from scratch.

While creating these components from scratch is indeed more work on the surface, it might be less of a headache than trying to re-work existing components from The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro.

It’s just a loose suggestion—no worries. One other thing I would like to share is a set of resources that might help. Here are some such resources:

• Writing custom events queries ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/
• Custom plugin templates ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
• Child themes, for adding custom CSS ? https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

I hope these resources and my input stimulate some ideas here, and if you reach out to a developer for assistance I hope that goes well.

Best of luck with your project, Tate! If you have any other questions that we are able to help with, please let me know.

Sincerely,
George
