What I mean is, it looks like you’re trying to load up the venue information outside of the loop. So in this case it may help to move your template tag into the loop.

Hi Stephen,

Can you let me know exactly what Venue information you are trying to display so I can work up an example?

As an aside, can you share the link to the WP codex article that you are using? It might help to know that an event post isn’t the same thing as a regular WP post, and using one of Event Espresso’s template tag that’s dependent on a helper method isn’t something you’d likely find in the WP codex.

Hi Stephen,

I’d also recommend the Post Type Templates article in the codex:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Type_Templates

Note that your single event template needs to be named single-espresso_events.php

Along with that, you might find it to be easier to use the other Venue template tags, like espresso_venue_name() and espresso_venue_address() but here’s an example of how to use the espresso_event_venues() tag to get the event name, address, city, and state:

//Get the venue for this event
$venues = espresso_event_venues();
$venue = array_shift( $venues );

if ( $venue instanceof EE_Venue ) {
	$venue_name = $venue->name();
	$venue_address = $venue->address();
	$venue_city = $venue->city();
	if ($venue->state_obj() instanceof EE_State ) {
		$state = $venue->state_obj()->name();
	}
} else {
	$venue_name = '';
	$venue_address = '';
	$venue_city = '';
	$state = '';
}

// then echo the above variables into your html

Hi Stephen,

As of today (August 14, 2014) Event Espresso 4 does not have shortcodes for venues. There are a number of template tags that can be used within a template though. They are listed in this document:

Hi Stephen,

I can recommend looking at the built in templates that Event Espresso 4 includes. You’ll want to review single-espresso_events.php and content-espresso_events.php along with the template parts that are called. All of the included template files can be found in the /templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014 folder.

If you require the services of a developer, we have a page that lists out recommended developers:

Hi Stephen,

In the last line of code that you posted above, it’s giving an instruction to load up the content-espresso_events.php template part. You’ll find that if you open up content-espresso_events.php in a text editor, remove or move around the calls to the different template parts, then save, it will change what you see on the event page.

You’ll also see that the first part handles the Single event view ( everything after if (is_single() ) : ) and the second part handles the archive view ( after elseif (is_archive() ) : )

This allows for different layouts and content in each of the two views.

Hi Stephen,

Did you include the venue view helper? Can you let me know what file references Event Espresso 3?
