Hello,
I posted a question a few months ago but we failed to go ahead with development.
How can I best get this custom events listings page:
http://bit.ly/2twXKVc
To look more like the design of this:
http://bit.ly/2swvQM8
I need the events neatly displayed under each and organised using the event categories.
Thanks

Hi there,
The way forward is you start with this guide:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-custom-post-types/#archive_event_template
Then once you’re set up with a custom template you’ll copy some of the html code from the page that you want the list to look like.
If you can post a copy of your WP theme so we can download it and review we can give you some specific code examples.

Hi Josh, Thanks for the reply.
I cannot see an upload option to post a zip of the theme?
The theme is:
NatureWPTheme_v1.9
BY METRO THEMES

Hi Josh,
I setup a child theme and followed the instructions but no changes are appearing on any pages?
I created –
archive-espresso_events.php
index-espresso_events.php
I added this code into the functions file in my child theme folder after making my child theme the active theme;
add_filter( 'FHEE__EED_Event_Archive__template_include__allow_custom_selected_template', '__return_true' );
I made changes to archive-espresso_events.php, did not reflect on website, then did the same for the index one, still no luck??
How can I error check this?

You will need to host the zip and post a link we can use to download it from. You cann use something like dropbox, or even add the zip to the site itself through the media manager and post the link for it here.
Once we have the theme you can remove the file.

Your theme may be doing something strange and not actually loading those templates. One way to test is to use the plugin What The file, active it, navigate to the event archive and look in the admin bar, you’ll see a section that shows which template files are used for that output.
You can remove index-espresso_events.php that will not be used.

OK, I got the child theme to work, so I now have a working events page that I can start trying to layout to my needs.
Can you style the ‘grid view’ add on to make the events listings like this:

or any other way?
Thanks

You can add custom styles specifically for the grid view template using the .espresso_grid class at the beginning of your css selector. For example
.espresso_grid .ee_grid_box {
display: none;
}
Would remove the grids.
Or you can copy the template from within grid template add-on /templates/ directory to your child theme and customize the template further there.
Is that what you are looking for?

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the advice, I copied the template filed into my child-theme folder and have tried editing it that way, this is where its at:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14431298/current-screen.jpeg
However, this is roughly the desired look I want to get:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14431298/desired-screen.jpeg
The coding in the template file is currently looking like so:
<div class="ee_grid_box item">
<a id="a_register_link-<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>" class="darken">
<img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" alt="" />
<span>
<h2>
<span>
<?php
echo '<b class="title">' . $post->post_title. '</b><br />';
/*if($event->event_cost === "0.00") {
echo __('FREE', 'event_espresso');
}else {
echo $org_options['currency_symbol'] . $event->event_cost;
}*/
echo '<br />';
echo '<b class="start-date">' . $startdate . '</b>';
echo '<br /><br />';
echo '<b class="button-text">' . $button_text . '</b>';
?>
</span>
</h2>
</span>
</a>
</div>
<?php
echo '<br /><b class="title">' . $post->post_title. '</b><br />';
echo '<br /><b class="start-date">Date: ' . $startdate . '</b><br />';
echo '<br /><b class="start-date">BOOK NOW BUTTON</b><br />';
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Just to explain a little, we provide support on the forums Monday – Friday 12PM: 12AM (UTC) which is why you haven’t had a reply until now. (Just making sure you don’t think we are ignoring you 🙂 )
Anyway, I’m glad you have this sorted.
