How can I have the event time show up on the event description

So once customers click on the home page to register for an event it brings them to the description then they have to click on the register button to register. Is there a way to add the event time to the description box so they see the time of the even along with the date?

Hi Becky,

You would need to do a template edit.

Start by copying these files

event-espresso/templates/event_list.php
event-espresso/templates/event_list_display.php

to

wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates

Then edit the event_list_display.php

Look for the following code (line 75)

<p id="event_date-<?php echo $event_id ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php _e('Date:', 'event_espresso'); ?></span>  <?php echo event_date_display($start_date, get_option('date_format')) ?>

after the last ?> add a space and then add this code

<?php echo $event->start_time; ?>

This will result in the following http://d.pr/i/BLgs

Thanks, Dean. What would I need to add if I’d like the photo to appear, too?

Hi

You would need to set a featured image in the event and then in the Template Settings page under Event Espresso in the dashboard, set “Display featured images in the event list and registration pages?” to Yes. That will display the featured images on the event list and individual registration pages.

You can use CSS from there to tweak them how you want them to look.
