Template Overrides

[Brandon]

Hello – I’m testing out the plugin for a client of mine and before they purchase they want to know if it will work for what they’re looking to do. The currently WordPress template they are using does not allow for plugin overrides to be made in the template directory – they get erased anytime the template is updated.

My question is if there is any other way to override the plugin’s template without using the WordPress template directory. I know I could edit the theme directly in the event calendar plugin directory, but this will get overwritten the next update as well.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Brandon!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

To prevent the template overrides from being erased with theme updates, you can use a child theme and copy the /tribe-events for your template overrides in there. As a reference, let me point you to our Themer’s Guide to find more about customizing our templates.

To learn more about child themes > https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/

I hope that helps. Let me know if any follow up questions 🙂

Best,
Victor
