Hi Sabrina,

The /events/ page is not actually a page, but an archive of EE events.

So you have a page called ‘Events’ with the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode set there, but when you visit /events/ you don’t see the Calendar correct?

If so that’s actually expected behavior in that EE is displaying all of the EE events in an archive view. You can either create a new page, lets say its called ‘Calendar’ and place the calendar shortcode there to view the Calendar OR if you want them listed within /events/ EE needs to be set to use a different ‘slug’.

This can easily be done within the admin but means all of your events will change from:

http://www.example.com/events/your-awesome-event/

To

http://www.example.com/new-slug/your-awesome-event/

‘new-slug’ will be whatever we set in the admin so I just want to confirm if that’s what you want to do?

I can live with this BUT… on that list of events, the date displaying on the list is the date I created the event, i.e. 6 November 2015, instead of the date the event will take place in the future.

That’s actually a feature of your sites theme, it is displaying the post date on the archive list. The quickest way to remove it is to hide it using some CSS:

.espresso_events .meta-date {
    display: none;
}

We recommend using either the My Custom CSS or Reaktiv CSS Builder plugins to add custom styles such as these.

Changing the theme to output the real event date can be done but will require the help of a developer, or we usually provide this using a support token. In a nutshel your theme needs to be modified to show the correct date within the EE archive of events, this is done a little differently for each theme.

Thank you for the feedback, I’ll pass it on to the rest of the team 🙂
