Hi Michael,

Could you provide a link to one of your pages. It sounds like you may be using a theme framework that works a little different than a standard WordPress theme.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Does the Divi theme have an option for adjusting content that is displayed on the archives listing pages?

Hi Michael,

I just remembered how the theme works. You can use the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode on a WordPress page and then add that page to your website’s navigation menu:

Hi Michael,

Try adjusting the template options to turn off the ticket selector and datetimes in Events –> Templates –> Event Listing Pages:

The following CSS will hide the author information along with post date:

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

It can be added through the theme if it has a custom CSS area or through a free plugin like Reaktiv CSS Builder or My Custom CSS.

Hi Michael,

The formatting that the plugin provides is minimal, but you can layer on your own CSS to make the formatting just the way you want. You can also alter the markup by customizing each individual template part. More on that later.

While we are working on adding an option to arrange the sections, since you need to arrange them now, you can start with Lorenzo’s guide:
https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/0a35fe4997992fdb1dc5

I’ll add that the file you’ll be working with for the event pages is the content-espresso_events.php file located in public/Espresso_Arabica_2014. You copy this file to your WordPress theme and also copy any of the template parts called from that file that you might also be customizing.
The following instruction steps apply to most WordPress themes, but your theme may be different:
You copy your theme’s archive.php file and rename it to archive-espresso_events.php.
In that new archive-espresso_events.php file, you’ll look for something like this:
<?php get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); ?>
You replace it with this:
<?php get_template_part( 'content-espresso_events' ); ?>
Now you’re set up and any customizations you make to content-espresso_events.php will display on the archive event page. Setting up a single event page is similar, except you start with single.php and end up with single-espresso_events.php.

Then, in your copy of content-espresso_events.php, you’ll find two sections, the first for single events (is_single()), and the second for archives (is_archive()) or lists.

Within those sections you’ll see this block of code:

<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-tickets' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-datetimes' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-details' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-venues' ); ?>

and you re-arrange those to the order you want like so:

<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-details' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-venues' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-tickets' ); ?>
<?php espresso_get_template_part( 'content', 'espresso_events-datetimes' ); ?>

Then, each of the above template parts can be copied into your theme and you can alter the html in each of them. Event Espresso will look in your theme for the templates first.

No, however if you open up the content-espresso_events-datetimes.php template file, you’ll noted that it’s calling the espresso_list_of_event_dates() template tag. It turns out that the espresso_list_of_event_dates() template tag is a pluggable function. So you can load override it or call in your own custom function for the archive view only.
