Set Events as Homepage

[cactusthemes]

Hi,
I want to display the Calendar as Homepage. How to do it? (except using 301 redirect to /events page)

Beyond a redirect I’m afraid we’d need to leave you to figure out the details of this – at this time, we would consider it an advanced customization (though you may be able to find examples of how others have tackled this across the forum).

Please do show your support for this feature over on our UserVoice page which we use to collate feature requests.

Thanks!

How about using this function: tribe_show_month(); (see http://wpstylish.com/tribe-event-calendar-display-month-calendar-homepage/)

[Barry]

You can certainly use tribe_show_month() cactusthemes – we don’t generally promulgate that as something that will work in isolation, though, for a number of reasons:

• Supporting assets (CSS and JS) will not be set up without extra work – ordinarily you won’t see tooltips if you simply drop that function into a theme template, for instance
• By itself, it means you will have duplicate content (the same view also being available, typically, at the main events page)
• The pagination links if you navigate forwards or backwards relate to the main month view, so this can introduce challenges for a consistent user experience and, as with the above point, may also be an issue for those users who have SEO concerns front-of-mind

Not everyone will be concerned with the above and of course it’s possible to address each point – so it’s definitely a useful and valid tool to have in your arsenal – but isn’t necessarily a complete answer for everyone.

It’s been a while so I’ll go ahead and close this thread. Of course if you need further help for this or any other issue please do feel free to create a new thread or threads as needed. Thanks!
