Hello, I’m trying to add Date & Time and a Registration Button to my Event Archives page.
Right now it looks like this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_wp43WmcyNf3oPKDjloRHyTxPO4mHstq
I want it to look like this:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BNMr60yb9p15TDEj3f5MSTxhssSKKVgd
I try to change the Template settings under events to show Date/Time and Ticket Selector, but nothing happens to my event page. It says like the original picture regardless of my selection.
How do I go about making these updates? I’ve searched the forums and found a post from 2015, but want to know if there is a better way to do it, now that it’s 2017…
I’m not afraid to work in the code, I just need someone to point me in the direction of which file(s) to look in and provide an example.
Thanks for your help!

Hi there,
Which theme are you using on the site?
There is 2 sets of settings on the template setting page, are you editing the settings under the ‘Event list pages’ section? – http://take.ms/nFM8M

I’m using the Hestia Theme.
Yes, I’ve picked the settings under the Event list pages section. Regardless of what I choose, I can’t get the Date/Time or even ticket selector to appear…

Hi there,
This is actually related to something that’s a little different about the Hestia theme. Here’s the relevant code from the Hestia theme’s template-parts/content.php file, starting on line 45:
<?php
$hestia_more = strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more' );
if ( $hestia_more ) :
echo get_the_content();
else :
echo get_the_excerpt();
endif;
?>
Normally a WP theme will just do this instead:
<?php the_content(); ?>
Event Espresso 4 actually relies on there being a call to the_content(), but that’s not happening with the Hestia theme.
You can change the above code from Hestia theme to be as follows:
<?php
$hestia_more = strpos( $post->post_content, '<!--more' );
if ( $hestia_more ) :
echo get_the_content();
elseif ( is_post_type_archive( 'espresso_events' )) :
the_content();
else :
echo get_the_excerpt();
endif;
?>
We recommend setting up a child theme and then you can copy the modified template to the child theme’s /template-parts/ folder and you modification will not be overwritten on a theme update.

Okay, I’m going to try that out today. Let me get back to you before you close this thread.

The topics self-close after 2 weeks of inactivity. You can start a new topic if you don’t come back until after 2 weeks.

Wow! Looks like I got it working.
Couple of modifications I’d like to do:
1. Venue info: Right now I have everything about the venue printing out (which is just way too much info for this page). Can I just print out the Venue Name and have it linked to its respective venue page? This will save space and make the page look cleaner.
2. View More button – how do I change the text of this button? I’d like it to say “Register”
Thanks so much, this has been pretty easy so far.

Yes you can and it involves making some template edits. First you’ll copy over the content-espresso_events-venues.php file from the Event Espresso plugin (located in the public/Espresso_Arabica_2014 folder). You’ll copy that file into your child theme.
Then after line 20 you’ll add:
<?php if ( is_single() ) : ?>
Then you’ll add one more endif statement around line 57 or so (there should be 2 already, you’ll add one more)
<?php endif; ?>
What that will do is make it so everything inside that if statement will display only if it’s a single event page.
2. View More button – how do I change the text of this button? I’d like it to say “Register”
One way would be to change the settings in Event Espresso > Events > Templates under Event list and set it to display the ticket selector.
Or you can use a translation function as outlined here:
