Two issues

[young]

Not sure if I’m allowed to post two problems or if I’m supposed to create a separate thread for each one, but I’m expecting that these issues will have a pretty simple fix. For the record, I’m pretty comfortable with HTML and CSS but not so much with PHP, Java, etc, although I’m trying to learn right now. Anywho…

1. I just upgraded to the events calendar pro, but clicking on the week, map and photo views leads to a 404 error. Do I need to create separate pages for these views or something? I thought it would just be automatic.

2. The related events show up on the right side of the page. Is there a way to have the related events laid out horizontally like the “Upcoming Events”?

Hello young,

Thanks for contacting us! Typically if they are bite sized, we can do 2 in 1. Typically it is best practice to have one per thread though, for better communication and future search results.

1. You do not have to create pages, they are automatic. You may need to “flush permalinks,” by resaving your permalinks in the Settings > Permalinks admin page.

2. The default styling for related events is a horizontal display. It looks like you are using a special theme that styles this differently. You can start by changing the template styling in Events Settings > Display tab. Try changing the Events Template back to ‘Default Events Template’ and see if that is acceptable. Other wise you will have to alter the page template, so that the related events are not dumped into the sidebar layout it is now.

Actually, all of that meta information is typically underneath the content, and your theme builds it differently. It will take a bit of work (maybe) to change it back. You may have to cut up the grid a bit to make it work. But if you’re learning this will be a great exercise.

I should be able to give you some pointers if you have any questions. Search your theme style for ‘wpv-tribe-events-meta’ and add more styling to change the float and width properties. This should change the grid.

I’m not sure I can help much more, but if you have any questions I will be happy to give you some pointers. Unfortunately that level of customization goes beyond the scope of the forums.

Cheers!

Hello young,

Basically, your theme is built on a grid so you’ll have to ‘de-grid’ it. Typically grids are built with floats and absolute widths (set as a percentage or pixel width).

So you’ll have to grab the php that renders the related events and either put it in another container that isn’t floated to the right, or change the css that doesn’t float the sidebar to the right.

Does this make sense? Let me know if I can explain anything else!

Cheers!
