Hello,
I’m working on integrating event espresso into a custom theme and have what I hope will be a simple question.
I’m overriding the default espresso theme files in my theme so I can modify the wrapping markup. Everything is going as expected except when I call the content-espresso_events-details.php template file.
The espresso_event_content_or_excerpt() helper function looks to be injecting the events-tickets, events-datetimes and events-venues in addition to the events-detail. Even when I simply call the_content() within my loop this seems to be happening (a filter somewhere perhaps)?
Currently I’ve worked around this by outputting the event details using do_shortcode(get_the_content()) but am curious if I’m missing something. I’m new to event espresso and feel I’m missing something simple. Please see the attached screenshot for a code example.
You’ll notice lines 13 and 14 are commented out. When these are used instead of my work around I see a page that has two ticket selectors, two venues, two datetimes, etc… one from the template files I’m calling, the other from the events-detail template / the_content() call.

the code example image I inserted isn’t displaying. You can right click and select “view image” or I’ll paste the url here.

Hi there,
Is the theme based on iced mocha by any chance?
Or did you follow a tutorial on modding the templates somewhere?
The event details are added by filtering the_content so both espresso_event_content_or_excerpt() and the_content() will have the details injected into them, unless you are using a custom single-espresso_events.php template file. EE detects if singe-espresso_events.php or archive-espresso_events.php is in use and does not inject details….
However (and this is what I suspect may be your issue) we also have a filter to force EE to continue to intect the details into the content even if those templates are being used:
//Use the custom template order when using single-espresso_events.php template file.
add_filter( 'FHEE__EED_Event_Single__template_include__allow_custom_selected_template', '__return_true' );
//Use the custom template order when using archive-espresso_events.php template file.
add_filter( 'FHEE__EED_Event_Archive__template_include__allow_custom_selected_template', '__return_true' );
Do you have either of those filters on the site currently? If so, either remove them or change them to __return_false

Perfect. That was it!
I was following information from here on how to extend the templates: https://gist.github.com/lorenzocaum/0a35fe4997992fdb1dc5
I’m using the sage starter theme (https://roots.io/sage/docs/theme-wrapper/) which uses a theme wrapper to expand on the default wordpress templating. The wrapper starts with a base.php file which then calls single.php and within there will look for single-CUSTOM_POST_TYPE.php in the /templates directory.
This wasn’t triggering what you mentioned, so I had to create a single-event_espresso.php which has priority over single.php and either add my content there or have that file reference the template in the /templates directory.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I knew it was something simple!
