Title in Main Events Page

[dgrcommunications]

Hi,
I have the calendar set on our my clients website using the http://66.147.244.144/~aaaphxor/events/ using one of the themes templates called Empty Default as its the only way I can get it to look OK withing the layout of the website. The issue that I have is that the theme uses the page name on the header.

Since the events page is dynamically generated its not pulling in the name of the page which should be Events. Its pulling in the title from an event I added.

Is there I way that we can change this? I have tried using the shortcode plugin but the calendar is all messed up.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Howdy dgrcommunications,

I am so sorry! I missed this topic on my pass yesterday. Normally we respond to topics from Friday by Monday afternoon at the very latest. 🙁

What you want is very doable. Have you ever created a WP Page Template before? It is quite easy to do. Copy your current Page Template to a new file. You might name it something like “custom-events-template.php”. Then grab the following code (more details in the above link if you need) and paste it on the second line of that file, right under <?php

/*
Template Name: My Custom Page
*/

Now find the line which outputs the title. It probably looks something like this <?php echo the_title(); ?>. Change that to “Events” and you are good to go.

Now go to WP Admin > Events > Settings > Display, and click the drop down for selecting a Template. If you left your new template name as “My Custom Page” it will appear here with that name, or whatever else you decide to call it. Select it, click Save, and there you go.

Will that option work? Does that all make sense and answer your question? Let me know. I am happy to be of any help I can. Cheers!
