Specify Sidebar for Events Page

[Derek]

I started this discussion already and have done some research since…
https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/specify-sidebar-for-events-page/

I found a plugin called Widget Logic that allows you to specify what page a widget shows up on. So I can use this page as a reference for conditional tags…

My problem is, what exactly is the events page? I tried…
is_page( ‘events’ )

But that didn’t work because I’m guessing it’s not a standard page?

Then I tried…
is_page_template( ‘default-template.php’ )

But that didn’t work because I’m guessing the template is located in a sub folder of my theme?

So, anyone know which conditional tag I can use that will work?

Hi Derek,

Assuming you’re using the Default Events Template you should be able to use conditionals like:

* tribe_is_month()
* tribe_is_upcoming()
* tribe_is_day()
* tribe_is_event_query()
* …etc…

If you are using the Default Page Template or some other theme specific template for a variety of reasons this can be a little trickier, though still possible, and the answer would depend upon exactly what you want to do (do you want to target all event pages or just a subset of them, etc).

Sometimes the reality is that playing with various combinations of these is the best way to discover what works in your circumstances 🙂

Hope that helps!

I ended up finding a plugin that did the trick…
