single-event.php not edit friendly

[Bond Nwonye]

I find that even the slightest edit of single-event.php (for example, adding Hello within a div tag:

<div>Hello</div>

) causes the margins of the event details to disappear (Chrome). Removing Hello, re-uploading file and cleaning the cache doesn’t fix it. The only thing that fixes this is to delete the file (in my child theme) and re-upload. Why is this so?

Makes it tough to change the look and feel of the details page (event-meta-event-single.php).

Hi Bond,

What template setting are you using (in Settings > Event Organiser > General)?

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your response. I am using the default mode: Enable Theme Compatibility

The template single-event.php in event-organiser/templates is not actually used unless you copy it into your theme (and may not match the mark-up of your theme). So just copying into your theme, might result in a sub-optimal appearance.

Instead, when a single-event.php is not present, it uses single.php and injects the template event-meta-event-single.php just before the content.

So if you’re going to create a single-event.php you’ll probably want to ensure that it broadly matches your theme’s single.php. Otherwise you can copy event-meta-event-single.php and edit that instead.

Thanks very much. I chose to edit event-meta-event-single.php
