SEO for events homepage

[hammer72]

I stumbled upon this post https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/yoast-ecl/ from 2012 but wondering if there is now a way to manage SEO for the events homepage. We’re using Yoast and we can override and manage the title and description for the events but on the homepage (we’re using photo and list), both title and description are empty.

Hi – great question!

I’m afraid there is no particular means baked into The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO. If you are using WP SEO by Yoast then you can certainly set the title, description etc programmatically – letting you target specific pages such as the main events page.

While I can’t help you with the WP SEO side of that, you may find the following functions useful in building your solution:

• tribe_is_event_query()
• tribe_is_list_view()
• tribe_is_month()

… And many others – do take the time to peruse those docs – and in combination with the $wp_query global you can probably work out something that works in your case.

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
