Primary Event Listing Page formatted poorly

I am brand new to event espresso. I have about a dozen of our events listed in the program. I am fine with how the individual pages look, but the main page that lists all the events I don’t like at all. I entered the suggested code ?[ESPRESSO_EVENTS] on the page. But all that gets me is a very long page of text that needs to be scrolled through to find an event. Is there any other way for this to be formatted? ALso, is there some way that when you are on the page for an individual event you could just use an arrow on the right of the page to go to the next event, and on the left to go to a previous event? As it is now you have to go back to the main listing to see what is next. That is how our events listings used to be formatted.

Hi, that is the default layout for the events listing page (example.com/events/). It provides a summary of the event information and then the single event page provides additional information.

You can remove some of the content that is shown on the events listing page through the template options in Event Espresso –> General Settings –> Templates.

Also, there are options is to present your events in a different format:

+ Events calendar – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-calendar-add-on/

+ Events table template add-on – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-table-view-template-add-on/

+ Events grid template add-on – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-grid-view-template-add-on/

There isn’t a next and previous link option available as part of Event Espresso. I have seen those before and they were introduced by the theme.

Do you currently have those below your blog posts?

Hi, I created a tutorial based of a default WP theme for adding those links to the end of the single event page. You can view it here:

Hello again,

In early April, you asked a question about adjusting the display of some content in Event Espresso via the template settings page in the WordPress dashboard. I replied with some steps on how to make that change.

Those steps have now changed since we have relocated some of those screens.

The templates settings page that was previously located in Event Espresso –> General Settings –> Templates is now located in the following area of the WP dashboard:

WP-admin –> Event Espresso –> Events –> Templates

We have also relocated the Google Maps tab to this location:

WP-admin –> Event Espresso –> Venues –> Google Maps

You can also see other changes for this version of Event Espresso 4 here:

Thanks!
