Calendar & Display

Calendar & Display#

Display events on your site with the event archive, single event pages, a calendar, event lists, widgets, shortcodes, and blocks.

Event archive#

The event archive lists all published events at /event/. Change the slug with the Event base field under Event Permalinks in Settings > Permalinks. Category archives use the same layout.

Archive features#

Grid of event cards
Featured image, date, venue
Status badges: Live Now, Cancelled, Sold Out, Upcoming
Short excerpt and a View Details button
Pagination

The archive uses the standard WordPress query. The Events Per Page, Show Past Events, and Default Calendar View fields on the Display tab are saved but do not change the archive or the calendar.

Theme override#

Copy templates/archive-emwc_event.php from the plugin to your theme:

your-theme/evenzo-events-manager/archive-emwc_event.php

The plugin also picks up archive-emwc_event.php in the theme root.

Single event page#

Each event has its own page at /event/event-slug/.

Page sections#

Hero with featured image and date badge
When, Where, Hosted by, and Price cards
About (event description)
Custom attributes, if added
Location with venue address, Google Map, and Get Directions link
Seat selection, if seating charts are enabled
Speakers grid
Category tags
Ticket sidebar with Register Now or Buy buttons and sales countdowns
Add to Calendar and Share links

Controlling sections#

In Events > Settings > Display, under Single Event Page:

Show location/map section on event pages
Show seat selection section on event pages
Show social share buttons
Show “Add to Calendar” buttons

The Show speakers section on event pages and Countdown Timers checkboxes are saved but the page does not read them. Speakers and ticket countdowns always show when they apply.

Theme override#

your-theme/evenzo-events-manager/single-emwc_event.php
