I agree that not building in basic SEO customisation to the default Event page is a MAJOR oversight. But I am a little less forgiving.. I’ve bought Event Calendar PRO and Facebook Events, ‘was’ considering Filter Bar … so you could say I’m now invested in your product. So, I would expect something as basic as customising Title, Description to the Event page meta without having to do any coding. What’s more perplexing is that you ‘can’ use Yoast SEO to edit the Title / Description on the single event – so, why not the Event page??
So as you are telling us we have figure out how to do this ourselves, I request that you at least put together some sort of step by step tutorial showing us ‘non-coders’ how to add the Title / Description meta to the Event page, and I mean in more detail that the above skimmed reference to Hooks, and WordPress calls and leave us with “Other than that I’m afraid you’ll have to figure out the rest of the details by yourself – good luck!” that would be most helpful.Thanks.
ps. or better yet, build this in to the next release.
Hey Barry,
You we’re right in deciphering my message 🙂
I added the opening <?php to my child theme functions.php file and the link back to original facebook post is now pulling through. Very cool.
I would like to move the link back to the end of the post, and add the _target=”_blank” the link. I guess I can do that by reading though the Themer’s Guide. Bear in ming im not an expert in php but I can find my way around.
CheersHi Barry,
Sorry about the delay response, have been away on a short break 🙂
Understood about keeping the questions to a single thread – cheers.
OK, here’s where I’m at:
1. That seems to have done the trick, thanks.
2. This suggestion didn’t work for me. I created a functions.php file and placed the above code in my child theme directory but all that happened was showing in my site on the front end (above the header) and didn’t seem to do much else. An option to include a link back to the source FB event would be a great feature from within the admin panel.
3. I’ll take a look at that in more detail.
Thanks
Steve
