On single event pages, I’d like to move the venue information to a sidebar, like shown on this page:
https://ethicsinsociety.stanford.edu/events/lectures/special-events/peter-singer-the-most-good-you-can-do
What would be the best way to do this?

You can create a shortcode for displaying event venue in sidebar as follow:
add_shortcode('event_tags','fun_display_event_tags');
function fun_display_event_tags()
{
$id = get_the_ID();
if ( is_single() && get_post_type($id) == 'espresso_events' ) :
$VNU_ID = espresso_venue_id( $id ); //Get venue id
$venue_description = espresso_venue_description( $VNU_ID, FALSE ); //Venue description
$venue_excerpt = espresso_venue_excerpt( $VNU_ID, FALSE );
//Venue short description
$address = espresso_venue_address('multiline', $VNU_ID, TRUE ); //Venue address details (City, state, country etc)
endif;
}

That’s a nice little shortcode WisdmLabs!
Can I add one thing to it?
As that shortcode will likely be used in a Text Widget, add the following code before the above code:
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
Not all themes allow shortcodes to be added to Text Widgets. That code will enable it.
Also, that code would need to be added to a site specific plugin: https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/ (or your themes functions.php should work, but I highly recommend using a site specific plugin).

Wow, thank you WisdmLabs and Dean! I must confess, this is getting beyond my capabilities. I do have a site specific plugin I’ve been using, but adding this code into it hasn’t changed my page. Is there something else I should be adding to my single-epresso_events template to pick up on this addition?

Hi Deborah,
This actually creates a new shortcode that you can use to display that information in a widget. First, you would add that sample code to your theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin.
Then you would add the shortcode for [event_tags] to something like a text widget through Appearance –> Widgets.

I came up with a different solution. On the content-espresso_events.php file, I deleted this line: <?php get_template_part( ‘content-espresso_events-venues’); ?>. Then on the single-espresso_events.php file I’ve saved within my child theme, I added that line to the div class for the right side of the page. Worked great.
