 * I’m having some issues overwriting formats. I want to overwrite the Single Event
   Format. I have the single_event_format.php located inside my theme folder:
 * `theme/plugins/events-manager/formats/single_event_format.php`
 * I just have <h1>Test</h1> within the single_event_format.php file.
 * I have this function in the functions.php file:
 *     ```
       function em_custom_formats( $array ) {
         $formats = array( 'single_event_format' );
       	return $array + $formats;
       }
       add_filter( 'em_formats_filter', 'em_custom_formats', 1, 1 );
       ```
   
 * I followed the readme.txt in the formats directory, not sure where I’m going 
   wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks.
