Yes, this is possible, but need to add some code to the functions.php of your theme. Here is an article that should get you started:

Hi, I’ve followed this but it doesn’t appear to be working. It created the new Venue URL field but won’t apply it to the venue field when it exists. Are you able to help at all? The website is http://essex-tv.co.uk/pavilion/whats-on/
Thanks for your help!
It’s supposed to be where the ‘more info’ statement is, just above the footer… thanks!
I updated the code to do exactly what you’re trying to achieve:
/**
* Adds a new 'More info' field to the event editor.
*
* @param array $fields The current fields of the event editor.
* @return array The new fields of the event editor.
*/
function wpt_event_editor_add_more_info_field($fields) {
$new_fields = array();
foreach($fields as $field) {
$new_fields[] = $field;
if ('tickets_url' == $field['id']) {
$new_fields[] = array(
'id' => 'more_info',
'title' => 'More info',
'edit' => array(
'placeholder' => 'http://',
),
);
}
}
return $new_fields;
}
add_filter( 'wpt/event_editor/fields', 'wpt_event_editor_add_more_info_field');
/**
* Wraps the More Info value in a HTML link.
*
* @param string $html The current More Info value.
* @param WPT_Event $event The event.
* @return string The More Info value inside a HTML link.
*/
function wpt_event_add_link_to_more_info($more_info, $event) {
if (!empty($more_info)) {
$more_info = '<a href="'.esc_attr($more_info).'" target="_blank">More info</a>';
}
return $more_info;
}
add_filter( 'wpt_event_more_info', 'wpt_event_add_link_to_more_info', 10, 2);
Now you just need to add the new ‘More Info’ field to the template that is being used on the event page.
- Go to Theater -> Settings
- Scroll down to ‘Events on production pages’
- Paste the following in the ‘template’ field:
{{thumbnail|permalink}}{{title|permalink}}{{excerpt}}{{tickets}}{{more_info}}.
- Save changes
You can now enter a URL in the More Info field when you edit an event and the link will automatically appear on the event detail page.
Thanks so much, that worked! Is there a way of filtering on the front end by the existence of this? I’ve added another new field called ‘autism_friendly’ using the above as a guide, however I’d like to be able to show a list of just those events (there will be autism friendly screenings within a production)
For example: http://essex-tv.co.uk/pavilion/autism-friendly-screenings/
The only event showing should be the ‘Autism friendly screening’.
Thanks for your help.
For example, is something like this possible?
[wpt_events paginateby=”month” groupby=”day” autism_friendly=”Yes”]{{thumbnail}}<h3>{{title}}{{autism_friendly}}{{bbfc}}</h3><p>{{excerpt}}{{datetime}}{{tickets_url}}{{more_info}}</p>[/wpt_events]
No, this is not possible (without coding).
However, you could use categories instead:
[wpt_events paginateby="month" groupby="day" category_name="autism_friendly"]{{thumbnail}}<h3>{{title}}{{bbfc}}</h3><p>{{excerpt}}{{datetime}}{{tickets_url}}{{more_info}}</p>[/wpt_events]
Thanks! but I can’t see how I can apply that to just one event within a production,
Also, how can I find the ID for a production?
For example, to show all screenings of a particular production…:
[wpt_production_events id=”16300″ paginateby=”month” groupby=”day”]{{thumbnail}}<h3>{{title}}{{autism_friendly}}{{bbfc}}</h3><p>{{excerpt}}{{datetime}}{{tickets_url}}{{more_info}}</p>[/wpt_production_events]
The one I’ve used above is from the URL string (i.e. http://essex-tv.co.uk/pavilion/wp-admin/post.php?post=16300&action=edit)
However, this doesn’t seem to work as the filter… am I looking in the wrong place?
