I found instructions here https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-shortcodes-template-variables/ to copy files under /event-espresso-core-reg/public/Espresso_Arabica_2014/ to your child theme in order to modify them. I have tried that with content-espresso_events-shortcode.php and it isn’t overriding anything. How can I modify what that file is outputting without modifying the main plugin file? Or is that my only option? Thanks.

Hi,
The instructions on the /ee4-shortcodes-template-variables/ wiki about copying the espresso_event_attendees.php file from Espresso_Arabica_2014 is specific to the Attendee list template. The instruction there does not actually apply to the other templates.
May I ask what exactly are you trying to change with the output of the Espresso Events shortcode? If I know what you’re looking to change I can point you in the right direction.

I have a list of events using [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode, but it is missing a bit of data and I need to modify how some of the data is displaying. I need to do 3 things:
1. add “City, State” to the displayed data
2. modify how the dates are displaying – “Jan 10” instead of “January 10, 2019”
3. Switch out the Read More button for an icon.
I know I can use js/css for #2 and #3 if necessary but I can’t do that for #1

wrt 1, where exactly do you want to display the City and State? A screenshot may be helpful in this case.
wrt 2, you can override the datetime template (copy content-espresso_events-datetimes.php to your child theme). Then change:
espresso_list_of_event_dates( $post->ID );
to
espresso_list_of_event_dates( $post->ID, 'M j' );
wrt 3, CSS might be the best option there because you can retain the text for screen readers by doing:
.view-details-btn {
text-indent: -5000px;
background: none !important;
}

Here is a link to a screenshot of what i’m trying to accomplish: https://mireauxms.com/screenshot.png But I actually managed to use CSS to show the city and state by displaying event venue details, and then hiding everything except the span tags surrounding city and state.
Is there a list anywhere of which /Espresso_Arabica_2014/ files are able to be overwritten with a child theme and which aren’t?

No list, but basically any of the templates that display specific data can be copied over. So for example, instead of using CSS to hide almost everything that content-espresso_events-venues.php outputs, you could copy that file over to the child theme and change the conditionals & markup within.
