        'singular_name_lowercase' => 'instructor'
    ),
    'public' => true
));

function tribe_link_instructors_to_events() {
	tribe_register_linked_post_type( 'instructors', array(
            'singular_name'           => 'Instructor',
            'singular_name_lowercase' => 'Instructor',
            'allow_multiple'          => true,
            'allow_creation'          => true

    // Check to see if we're updating an already-existing instructor post.

        // So, just return the ID. Do nothing.
        if ( count( $data )  == 1 ) {
            return $data['id'];

thank you for the update George very much appreciated.

i had exact same issue , i used the following to have full width calendar page ,and a matching theme page with sidebar for the event pages place it in the themes functions.php

function tribe_theme_template_chooser ( $template ) {

	if ( ! tribe_is_event() ) return $template;

	/*
	 * Example for changing the template for the single-event page to custom-page-template.php
	 * Template is usually set to /plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/default-template.php
	 * You might wish to include some things from that template in your custom one, such as
	 * the function tribe_get_view() which helps format the content within your template.
	 * You can modify this example to set the template for any tribe page. Month view could be
	 * modified by instead using the tribe_is_month() condition.
	 */

	// Single event page
	if ( is_single() ) {
		$template = locate_template( 'single_event1.php' );
	}

	return $template;
}
add_filter( 'template_include', 'tribe_theme_template_chooser', 11 );

change single_event1.php to page.php or single.php or even default.php i had to try a few of the themes templates….
hope it helps may not work for your theme but it did for me (ps it didnt help with organizer or venues pages had to do it different for those) good luck

[martin75]

is that the end of the help here ?

[martin75]

so i would need to create the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/instructor.php for starters i take it cliffe?

i would draw your attention to https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/abstract-post-types/ , especialy this piece here “Doing this before version 4.2 of The Events Calendar meant lots of extra custom coding, but since 4.2 you can add or remove event-related post types with just a few simple filters” i think this is a bit misleading i purchased the pro simply for this. at no pint have i managed to have a simple instructor box in the admin new event form that says create within the box. it now seems i need to be a doctor of .php rather than “but since 4.2 you can add or remove event-related post types with just a few simple filters” . very disapointed , i know now this will never be achieved. thanks for your time

Hi Cliff did you manage a peak into this ? this is the one thing i really bought pro version for especially as it had a guide of how to accomplish it for a novice like myself , im literally waiting on this to publish my site. may thx in advance

[martin75]

also please note all plugins disabled except for the events calendar and pro , and themes 2014.15.16 and 2017 tried whilst plugins disabled.
exactly that Cliff, i followed this , i also added this i had to take out a “)” on line 45 or i had syntax error.

hope this adds the snippet correct !

register_post_type( 'instructors', array(
    'labels'  => array(
        'name'                    => 'Instructors',

many many thanks Cliffe it works absolutky spot on , i also added the following in functions.php to make the same changes to organizers (just in case anyone is ever interested) events,venue and organizers now have stand alone comments , i cant thank you enough!! sort abstract post out and site can go live!!

/**
* The Events Calendar PRO: enable comments on single organizer pages.
*
* @link https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/comments-on-organizer-and-venue/
*/
add_filter( ‘tribe_events_register_organizer_type_args’, function ( $args ) {
$args[‘supports’][] = ‘comments’;

return $args;
} );

/**
* Force “Allow Comments” to TRUE for all organizers.
*/
add_filter( ‘comments_open’, function ( $open, $post_id ) {
if (
function_exists( ‘tribe_is_organizer’ )
&& tribe_is_organizer( $post_id )
) {
return true;
} else {
return $open;
}
}, 10, 2 );

/**
* Load the Comments Form on the organizer single page. Quite a bit of hackery to
* accomplish this, but it should work reliably.
*/
add_action( ‘tribe_events_single_organizer_after_upcoming_events’, function () {
/**
* Needed because of the comment form’s global $id and global $post
* thinking it’s an event, not a venue. Possibly a bug in the Venue single
* page but maybe not.
*/
wp_reset_postdata();

/**
* Remove TEC’s hijacking of the comments template so it’s no longer
* /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/admin-views/no-comments.php
* and therefore we get to use the theme’s comments.php file, as expected.
*
* comments_template() is not needed to load the comments form because it is
* already loading after removing TEC’s hijacking of the comments template.
*/
remove_filter( ‘comments_template’, array( ‘Tribe__Events__Template_Factory’, ‘remove_comments_template’ ) );
remove_filter( ‘comments_template’, array( ‘Tribe__Events__Templates’, ‘load_ecp_comments_page_template’ ) );
} );
