Single event template – remove sidebar

[Angelo]

Hi, a default sidebar is appearing on my single Event pages only (list of Pages, Archives, Categories). The Events page does not have this issue. I would like to remove the sidebar from the single Event page.

What is the best way to go about this?

The Events page is using the default Events Template. The issue seemed to appear after updating to the latest version of WordPress…

Thanks for your help 🙂

I am also having the same issue as Angelo.

EXAMPLE

If you go the the Events page on this site;

http://www.woodysbyronbay.com/events

… everything works fine.

But if you click into any single event, a sidebar appears below the event thus;

http://www.woodysbyronbay.com/event/live-local-music-richie-williams

I had seen a solution some time ago for the older version of ECP which involved commenting out the sidebar in events-calendar-premium/view/single.php – this worked and the sidebar disappeared (under ECP 1.3.3)

But I can’t find anywhere to do this in the new version.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks for the reports, guys. I’m going to see if Jonah from our dev team can take a look at this and share some insights. I know that the templating structure will be changing quite a bit for 2.1, which I suspect will resolve this…but I’ll try to see if there’s anything we can share in the short term.

Hi all, it’s really going to depend on your theme and it’s hard to say exactly how to do this because the instructions are complex and vary. But generally you are either using the Default Events Template (ecp-page-template.php and ecp-single-template.php) or the Default Page Template (page.php). What you should be able to do is use conditional code in either of the templates depending on how you have this set in Settings > The Events Calendar:


if ( tribe_is_month() ) { //no sidebar on grid view

} else if ( tribe_is_event() && !tribe_is_day() && !is_single() ) { //set sidebar on list view
get_sidebar();
} else if ( is_singular() && tribe_is_event() ) { //set sidebar on single view
get_sidebar();
} else {

}


I hope that helps!

Hi Jonah – thanks for this 🙂

Was able to fix by commenting out the sidebar in LINE 29 of: the-events-calendar/views/ecp-single-template.php

original;

changed to;

[David]

Whoops, cant post the php…

original ****

changed to ****

Glad you worked it out David, if you need to post code in the comments, try either wrapping your code in tags or just use http://pastebin.com/

Thanks,
Jonah

That was meant to read ‘' tags, without the spaces of course...

[Jonah]

Ughhh, ok html ‘code’ tags with html style arrows on either side of the tag.

[Angelo]

Unfortunately the supplied code didn’t work out for me, but I was able to duplicate the file
and put it in a folder named EVENTS inside my theme folder, as stated at the top of the ‘ecp-single-template.php’ file.
I just removed the sidebar reference all together (probably to dodgy thing to do?). This worked for me.

[Jonah]

Nope, that’s solution that works for now Angelo. Nothing dodgy about it.

[Angelo]

Great! Thanks for your help 😉

[Rob]

Thanks for confirming, Angelo & David! Please let us know if we can do anything else.
