Hello,
I am working on a temporary site before I launch the live version. I have the lite version and before I purchase the pro version I need to figure out the following things:
1) I need to change the sidebar on the events page. The events page was automatically populated and I cannot change the sidebar to what I need
2) I have been trying to change the color blocks around the dates, calendar etc. Is this feature only available in the pro version?
Thanks!
Jennifer Inniss
I forgot to ask…is there a way to submit events via email submission or another way of front end submission?
Thanks a million!

Hi Jennifer,
By default the plug-in uses single.php
template from your theme from the events page, and the sidebar used is the one set in that template. If you create a single-event.php
you can change the sidebar – or otherwise you can change the sidebar used in that template (though it may affect ordinary posts too).
Creating your own single-event.php
is fairly straightforward:
- Make a copy of your
single.php
, and name it single-event.php
. If you view an event page it should now look like a ‘normal’ post (with no event details).
- Add
<?php eo_get_template_part('event-meta','event-single'); ?>
to your new single-event.php
at the point on the page where you wish to display the event details (e.g. dates, map etc)
- If you wish to, remove any details you don’t want displayed on the event page.
I have been trying to change the color blocks around the dates, calendar etc. Is this feature only available in the pro version?
Which calendar? If this is the large calendar (not the widget calendar), the event colour is set by its category (to which you can assign a colour). Otherwise you can use this filter to change the colour. (Keep in mind the calendar is cached, after adding any changes, update an event to clear the cache).
I forgot to ask…is there a way to submit events via email submission or another way of front end submission?
Yes, please see the frontend submissions extension.
