Hi,

Is there a quick way to get mydomain.com/events/ to point to my custom events listing page? I have trawled through your forums but can’t find a solution other than customising theme etc.

… am hoping there is a quick solution like in EE3

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Angus,

/events/ is the espresso_events post type ‘slug’ so it uses your themes arhcive.php template, to change that default output you need to create a custom template for your theme (archive-espresso_events.php) to output the listing however you prefer.

However the alternative is to change the slug to something else (Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates -> Events slug) and then use a page with the slug ‘events’ to output your custom event list.

It depends on what your trying to do really and how you creating your custom event list, are you using a shortcode?

Thanks for getting back so quick – I am just wanting to direct people to my custom events listing page (created using shortcodes) when clicking “Return to Events List” during the registration process.

Ohh that’s using MER, you can just change where that URL points to using a filter:

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e51ac13a3d9fd345ad40

Change return 'http://yoursite.com/calendar'; to return whichever URL you want to use for the button. Then add that function to either your child themes functions.php file or a Custom Function Plugin.

Hello,

It can be added to your site through a site specific plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/) or a child theme’s functions.php file.
