Set dfault Events view to calendar

Hey Guys,

Is there a possible way to have the /events page load as the calendar instead of the list view?

Currently I have http://www.uscomputer.com/events-calendar/ that works as the calendar page and http://www.uscomputer.com/events set up as a redirect, but I would like to set the calendar as the view for /events

Thank you,
-David M

Hi David,

Whilst its possible to change the default output for the event archive (/events/) to a calendar you would need to create a custom template for your theme to do so as its not actually a page but an archive of EE event posts.

The easiest method to display the Calendar on /events/ would be to change the EE slug to something other than ‘events’ and then use a standard page with the [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR] shortcode in its place.

So lets say you changed the EE slug to ‘registration’

To do that you go to Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates

Look for ‘Event Slug’ and change that to ‘registration’.

You will likely need to flush your permalinks.

Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks.

Make no changes and just save the settings.

/registration/ would now look exactly as your current /events/ output does but now you can create an ‘events’ page and display the calendar there.

Would that work?
