# Cannot edit Single Event view

 * We have been trying for over a week straight to modify the Single Event template
   and move the event organizer and location data to a sidebar (instead of below
   the content) in the Single Events template and add the location name (or city)
   to the top – and we can’t do it.
 * Three different people have tried to figure out how to do a template overrides,
   but the template system is such a mess we can’t figure it out (/src/tribe-events,/
   src/tribe, /the-events-calendar/… and 10 other locations). And every element 
   of the template is broken into files and spread around multiple directories.
 * The documentation itself is very unhelpful as well e.g. [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/)–
   and provides no examples or support.
 * Can you please tell us how to modify the Single Events template to add the location
   name to top and put the organizer and location data into a sidebar.
 * These kind of modifications should be trivial, but instead it is the most difficult
   thing.
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@adla999](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adla999/), apologies for the
   delay here.
 * The single-page file is located here:
    `src/views/single-event.php` You can override
   this template in your own theme by creating a file at: `[your-child-theme]/tribe-
   events/single-event.php`
 * Let me know if that helps.
 * Best,
    Abz
