Hi Jay,

Which version of Event Espresso 3 are you using?

Sorry it’s actually the Decaf (free) Version of Event Espresso 4.

Version 4.4.4.p

Hi,

Thanks for these links, unfortunately following the instructions doesn’t seem to be affecting the templates at all.

Issue 1

The “Events” page is not editable at all, the listing seems to be tied to this page so anything I put in the content editor has no effect on the page.

Issue 2

I’ve created both archive-espresso_events.php as well as single-espresso_events.php but both are not reflected on the front end of the website at all.

There is a templates tab in the settings, that is not editable as I’m not using the caffeinated version, could this be the issue?

Hi Jay,

It turns out that /events/ isn’t a page. It’s the custom post type archive route. If you want to make a page with some content in the content editor that includes a list of events, you add the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode to the page. Please note that if you make a page to list events, the page will use your theme’s page.php template instead of an archive template.

Regarding this:

I’ve created both archive-espresso_events.php as well as single-espresso_events.php but both are not reflected on the front end of the website at all.

Are your custom templates in the active WordPress theme?

Hi Josh,

Yes they are in the active theme, just don’t seem to be making any difference unfortunately.

Hi Jay,

Could you give these these steps a try?

If it still does not work (no edits are reflected on your Event Espresso pages), then please let us know the name of your theme.
