Theme incompatability? On Events page /upcoming events overview

[justinbonnet]

Hi there,

1) On the page http://www.healingforum.org/events/ (which I’ve set up to display as Upcoming Events) the calendar takes the soonest event and turns it into the page’s displaying title, and puts the preview picture at the top.

I’ve made a temporary solution by creating a 5-year-long event called “Upcoming events” so that the page title will look right.

How can this be fixed, so the page title doesn’t deviate from “Events” to whatever the name of the next event is?

I quite like having the option of having a featured image at the top of the page, though, and maybe also text; is that possible to do?

2) On the events, the featured image appears twice; once at the top of the event, above the event details, and once below the event details. I’d only like the image to appear once, above the event details.

Can you tell me how this can be fixed?

3) A line break appears between each item of information in the event information box. Eg for the venue it appears like this…

Venue:
Oxford Community Hall

I’d love for it to match up on the lines, as it looks wonky or skewed currently. Example here: http://www.healingforum.org/event/pwboxfordmay

Many thanks! Please bare in mind that I’m not a coder, so for code inserts etc, please be specific about what to do, and where . Thank you!! <3

Hi justinbonnet,

1. To fix the title issue, please see this FAQ: https://theeventscalendar.com/faqs/the-calendar-page-title-shows-title-of-an-event/

2. To remove the featured in the event details, make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. Then open it up and remove lines 95-98.

3. To fix the meta data not lining up add the following to your theme’s style.css file:

#tribe-events-event-meta dd {
float: none;
}

That should do it but let me know if you need anything else!

Hi Jonah,

Thank you! Your instructions for 2 + 3 worked perfectly 😀 it already looks much better.

For 1 (the title issue) I’ll have to come back to it next week I guess – it’ll take me a bit of time to figure out the instructions from the other post you linked me to. This week I have events (Calendar PRO and wootickets events, yep) so I’ll see if I can figure it out next week. If I can’t, I’ll tell you what I need clarifying.

Thanks again 🙂

Sounds good justinbonnet, let me know if you need anything else.
