Upcoming Events (title): fully change – How?

[phatwp]

The link to the tutorial,
https://theeventscalendar.com/altering-or-removing-headings-on-calendar-views/
only yields a partial fix of List Title:
<!– List Title –><h2 class=”tribe-events-page-title”>
How to change actual title:
<!– page title, displayed in your browser bar –>
<title>Upcoming Events </title>

Howdy phatwp,

Good question. This snippet allow you to change the <title> for any page. You can delete and of the (else)if blocks that you do not want to change. Paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet.

Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

makes no sense at all

what snippet are you speaking to?

I have successfully changed the page heading displayed to the user that is/was “upcoming events”

the problem is how to change the page title <title> from the upcoming events page ( for seo and google search it is worthless to display something as simplistic as “upcoming events” to a user or a bot in a search )

Hah! Well I guess it would not make sense when I forgot to include a link to the snippet. Sorry about that. Here is the link I was referring to, it shows you hot to change the <title> element for every page in the Events Calendar: http://pastebin.com/QU2aMwBJ

Does that do what you want?

I can see clearly now that the rain has gone.

Since I am yoasting I did:

// Runs the <title> element through our custom filter
// add_filter(‘wp_title’, ‘filter_events_title’);
// If you are using Yoast delete the above line and uncomment the following one
add_filter(‘wpseo_title’, ‘filter_events_title’);
// Tribe events: Manually set title Upcoming Events
function filter_events_title ($title) {
if ( tribe_is_upcoming() && !is_tax() ) { // List View Page: Upcoming Events
$title = ‘Change this to something meaningful for SEO’;
}
return $title;
}

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your solution.
