Template for Event Category

[Mister]

Hi,

can you please share some details on how to theme the Events Categories sites? Currently when clicking on an Events Category, the link takes me to the calendar month view and displaying the events of that category, e.g. http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups/

I want to evaluate changes to that view, e.g. maybe have a list view, or something custom. How can I achieve this (overwrite of template file, hook in functions.php …)?

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out!

Our themer’s guide has some great info on customizing our plugins, including our page templates. The template page for our events page is the same, it just calls in different views. You can find these in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/ (for the Events Calendar views – default-template.php is the base template) and wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro for the views that come with Pro.

In order to make changes to only the category page, I would recommend taking a look at tribe_is_event_category and some of our other functions. To change the views for category pages, this post has a snippet that will help you do that.

Let me know if you need any help with any of this or have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
