Custom Single event template

Resolved proximitas

In the following scenario, I need some guidance please.

We are using The Events Calendar (free not pro) for our club’s events. We would like to be able to show a special event for when someone in our club passes away, so they are memorialized on our calendar. However, we do not need items like the time, venue, organizer etc. Basically we want the title, A place to list the date of their passing (so the event shows up on the proper date in the calendar month/list view), and a photo.

We have a category for “In Memorium” but I would like to assign a separate event template that is a customization to the default single event template (which handles our needs for every other event quite nicely).

How do I create a separate special single event template?

Hi @proximitas ,

Thank you for reaching out.

I regret to inform you that The Events Calendar do not have built-in functionality to handle multiple (separate) templates for single events. The endeavor may be possible with template customization; however, such an endeavor may require extensive knowledge in WordPress/web programming, and we, the support team, are not equipped with such command.

If you are comfortable handling (or writing) code, an excellent place to start finding documentation of our code functions would be our DevDocs: and our themer’s guide.

That is unfortunate. Seeing as the Admin > Edit Event page sidebar has a template section with a list of post templates; it would seem that this should possible.

I will go look at the documents you linked again, perhaps I will find an answer this time.

Hi @proximitas ,

Thank you for your message and the information.

Unfortunately, I am not seeing the template section that you’re referring to in my testing environment running only The Events Calendar plugins and the twenty-twenty-one theme. I suspect that section may have been added by your theme or third-party plugin.

Please feel free to let us know how you go or if you have further questions/concerns.
