I’ve added the code at the begining of the espresso_table.php file as you suggested and it didn’t work. Then I inserted the information in this section ( around line 56) by adding the $event_meta within those variables and nothing again.

function espresso_get_table($sql){
   global $wpdb, $org_options,$event_meta;
  //echo 'This page is located in ' . get_option( 'upload_path' );
  $event_page_id = $org_options['event_page_id'];
  $currency_symbol = $org_options['currency_symbol'];
  $events = $wpdb->get_results($sql);  $event_meta = event_espresso_get_event_meta($event_id);

I tried to compare looking at the code why those EE_meta codes are working in the registration_page.php versus the espresso_table.php but I can’t figure it out. Any suggestions?

For point number 2, what I found out which is interesting is that the default values come from the functions.php file found in the following folder: includes/admin-files/ around line 332, and not from the code I added into my themes folder as documented in the https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#ee-meta . This is the code found in the functions.php,

 if (!function_exists('ee_default_event_meta')){
    function ee_default_event_meta(){
        return array("event_hashtag"=>"","event_format"=>"","event_livestreamed"=>"");
    }

So to have my default key dropdowns and values, shouldn’t I place them in the functions.php found in /admin-files instead?

Question no. 2 is now OK. I’ve added the entire function in the custom_functions.php and it works fine. Although it’s nothing like the documentation said…

For the first subject, using the $event_meta still doesn’t work, in fact the whole website crashed when I added that line (anywhere in the code)such as in this example:

      reg_limit;

 global $event_meta;
     $event_meta = unserialize($event->event_meta);

    $event_desc = wpautop($event->event_desc);

    $register_button = '<a>id.'" href="'.get_option('siteurl').'/?page_id='.$event_page_id.'&amp;regevent_action=register&amp;event_id='.$event-&gt;id.'&amp;name_of_event='.stripslashes_deep($event-&gt;event_name).'"&gt;S&#039;inscrire</a>';

    //Check to see how many open spots are available
    $open_spots = get_number_of_attendees_reg_limit($event-&gt;id, 'available_spaces') == 'Unlimited' ? 999 : get_number_of_attendees_reg_limit($event-&gt;id, 'available_spaces');
    //echo $open_spots;

    if ( $open_spots 


            event_name ?&gt;

If I were a programmer I would probably investigate more but since it’s not my cup of tea, I feel I keep running in circles. I also tried to apply what is said in the EE documentation but it’s not that clear so I haven’t found an easy way to add meta data in templates.

I come up with the first instance, it’s the forum code which changes the signs. Maybe because my browser is in French…

I tested with a clean version of the template and you are correct, the code works fine therefore it must be the way I am calling the meta code. I have it this way;

        ?php echo do_shortcode('[EE_META type="event_meta" name="event_begin_date" event_id="'.$event->id.'"]');?  

Note: I had to remove the signs before ?php and at the end so you could see this code
