Hi Jeremy,

Are you asking about detecting this only in the events list view? Have you looked through our documentation? https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/

Hi Lisa,

I don’t know if I fully understand your dilemma but is it that you just need to remove the start/end time from displaying from certain events? You can do that by editing the template files and we have two great articles on that topic:

https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them/
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

I hope that helps!

Hi Bob,

You’ll need to dig deeper, likely into the database itself to try and track this down. You might even try starting from scratch and slowly migrating things over one piece at a time. I’m not sure what else to tell you…

Hi Beth,

Depending on how you’re including the grid on the home page you might try some conditional PHP code to detect what the current viewport is and then include the list instead. I have no idea how to check for whether a user is viewing the site on an alternative device vs. desktop in PHP though. You’ll need to do some research. Good luck!

Hi Meg,

My apologies. That code will only work in list.php and it actually does that opposite of what you want… The default prev/next code in list.php should do what you want out of the box so make sure that you haven’t replaced that code with something else. Maybe try pulling down a fresh copy of list.php by downloading the plugin again and re-copying in that block of code.

Hi Charlie,

Meghan’ solution may work – it’s worth a try, otherwise it’s a little more tricky to create separate calendars and certain things like the calendar prev/next and month/year drop downs won’t work correctly so it’s not really worth it unless you can do without that functionality.

Hi Javier,

In your code you’ve got a bunch of bad double and single quotes – this could be part of the problem. Make sure you clean up the code and then see if you’re still having the problem.

Hi Rough,

We’ve figured out what the problem is and it’s not related to our plugin. We found that at least with one of the themes where we were able to replicate the problem, it has something to do with the theme calling the wpautop function and converting newlines to p and br tags which is throwing the spacing in there. Changing the Events Template to the “Default Events Template” I think helps because the plugin then uses its own template when viewing the calendar vs. the themes page template.

In your case when I switched the Events Template to the “Default Events Template”, it resolved the issue with your calendar navigation. Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to assist with the complete solution because it involves editing multiple template files and is more time than I can spend on custom work.

You can do 1 of 2 things:

1. Stick with the “Default Events Template” and edit both the /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/ecp-page-template.php (controls the calendar and events list pages) and /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/ecp-single-template.php (controls the single event views) – make copies of these files and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. Open up one of your themes page templates (page.php) and copy markup needed for the structure into both of the plugin view files you made copies of. If you want specific content or sidebars on certain pages you’ll need to conditionally include them with PHP.

2. Use one of theme’s page templates for the Events Template and try to see if you can disable the use of the wpautop function in your theme. You would probably want to contact the theme author to get them to help you with this.

I hope that helps and good luck!

Hi Lydia,

I forgot to mention that you should make a copy of /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme and make the above change, otherwise your change will be lost the next time you update. This goes for any of the template view files and you can read more about these files and the override system here: https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them/

Hi Kathleen,

Glad to hear it – we do our best and pride ourselves on our support! If there’s anything else we can do just let us know.

Thanks,

Hi Marcos,

I based the ecp-page-template.php off of your theme’s full width page template and ecp-page-template.php is used for both the calendar and the events list so you’ll need some conditional code to detect if you’re viewing the calendar or list within ecp-page-template.php

I modified the Gist with the appropriate code: https://gist.github.com/2839432

Please try it out and let me know how that works.

Hi Meg, sorry about I forgot to echo tribe_get_event_link() – you can either just re-copy the gist code from the link above or add “echo” (with a space) before tribe_get_event_link() in the code. That should do it, sorry about that 🙂

Hi John,

Thanks for the additional comments – I completely agree this is an important issue and will do what I can to have it addressed ASAP.

Hey Jim,

The overall styling of the front end form is kept fairly plain and neutral so as to not introduce much styling and conflict with too many themes. You’re theme is somewhat unique in the sense that you don’t use a white background behind much of the sites content – so this is partly a reason why it doesn’t look very good. We can’t possibly style the form to fit in all themes. You are free to and are encouraged to style the form as much as you want to get it to fit in your theme.

I hope that helps,
Jonah

Hi John,

At this point I still don’t have a complete solution for you but a work around and some light at the end of the tunnel. I noticed that I could not get WordPress SEO working properly for the main events page & list pages when I had the Events Template setting in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template set to the “Default Events Template” but it would work if I set this to “Default Page Template”. You could try that but you’re likely going to run into some layout issues that you’ll need to sort out. So, it’s a solution but it creates another potential problem…

We have a ticket out to check into the compatibility with the All In One SEO and WordPress SEO plugins, so we definitely have this on our radar to take a look and will do our best to get this straightened out ASAP.

That said, we also cannot guarantee out of the box compatibility with any theme or plugin and in some cases you’ll need to play with settings, modify code and work with your setup to get things working right yourself. Rarely is anything true plug and play.

I hope this helps and I’m sorry there’s not more we can do this moment. I’ll wait to hear back on looking into the SEO plugins more and will follow up here when I have a response and plan of action.

Thanks,
Jonah
