Themer's Guid Questions: Overrides not working.

[garethbarry1982]

Hi,

I have followed the structure on the Themer’s Guide but I’m not seeing the results. As a test I have tried editing /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/default-template.php from the plugin directory and the changes take place perfectly.

However, when I try from my own override structure: /wp-content/themes/uTicket/tribe-events/views/default-template.php the changes to not over ride the existing plugin templates files.

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi there, Gareth! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. 🙂

Yes, this is a confusing one. You’re right that most templates overrides go into a /views subdirectory, but page-default.php is an exception. You will actually place this file directly in the /tribe-events directory you created so it is at the top level, like this:

/[your-theme]/tribe-events/page-default.php

Sorry for any confusion there, but does this help? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Perfect.

That fixed the issue for me. Thank you for your quick response. And thanks for the plugin, just purchased wooTickets and The Events Calendar Pro. Top stuff.
