I was wondering how I could go about having a featured/sticky event at the top of the events list. Any ideas?

Hi Kish,
With EE3 you would have to create a post and add the single_event shortcode to it or create a Post via the Event (at the bottom of the event editor) then edit that post and make it sticky.
In EE4, events are custom post types so they cannot be made sticky by default. Using something like this guide it is possible to make them sticky (http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-sticky-posts-in-custom-post-type-archives/), though you may wish to do a Google for Sticky Custom Post Types as that was just the first one I found.

Hey Dan, thanks for the reply. That makes sense I guess. This is the first time I’m using Event Espresso and I have a question.
If I was to create a post for all the events and used a standard WP query to display those posts on an “archive page” along with a booking button, could I ignore the standard template pages for the archive and single events. Or am I missing something?

Are you using EE3 or EE4?
Either one needs it’s critical pages with their shortcodes in order to function. They can be hidden in EE3 and are hidden in EE4 by default.
For EE4, if an archive page of EE Events is loaded, the WP loader will first look for archive-espresso_events.php. If it fails to find that it will load archive.php.
