    I’ve been searching for the right files for about 2 hours but I can’t figure it out … how do I set up custom template files for a single-event?

    I’m running a child theme and created a folder there:
    hemmingway-child/tribe/events/single-event

    I also checked out the v2 folder
    hemmingway-child/tribe/events/v2

    the events manager v 5.7.1

    Hi there,

    I would be happy assist, this is our guide on editing for the newer calendar views: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/customizing-template-files-2/

    The top portion of that shows where they are, so it depends on if you are using the block editor or not

    /the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php
    /the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event-blocks.php

    “To override these files the copy should be placed in /tribe-events and /tribe-events/pro respectively. For further details please check out the guide to customizing template files for Views 1.”

    Please let me know if that helps!

    What do you mean with block editor? Like the theme or wordpress or something?

    ok, I created a the following folders in my child-theme folder
    tribe/events/

    In there I put the following:
    single-event.php
    single-event-blocks.php
    single-event (folder)

    Editing any of these doesn’t seem to do anything. I’m I trying to edit the right files? Is it getting stuck in the cache or something?

    Hi there,

    So you do not need all 3 of these, the blocks file is only when using the Block Editor (Gutenberg) so it will depend on your setting under Events > Settings > General > Activate Block Editor for Events. IF you aren’t using it, use the “single-event.php” file.

    Are you still using the “Legacy Views” or “V1?” /tribe/events/ is what you will want for this, but if you are using the V2 or updated calendar views (which we highly recommend), you will want to use /tribe/events/v2.

    So you will want to find the file under /the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php , copy single-event.php , edit the copy and then place the copy under /tribe/events/ or /tribe/events/V2 , does that make sense?

    So your final file path should look like /tribe/events/v2/single-event.php and that file is an edited copy

    Normally we do not provide support for customizations, but I want to at least make sure you are placing the files in the right place.

    Hi Truman,

    I’m still not succesful.
    Block mode = off
    Updated calender design = on
    I placed the single-event.php in –
    theme-child/tribe/events/v2/single-event.php

    Still tho, when I edit anything in that file, it doesn’t seem to effect anything on the single event page. For ex. when I remove the title function, the title is still there. When I add en element, it’s not apprearing on the page. I sort of have a feeling I’m trying to edit the wrong template file, is that possible?

    These are the classes from the <body> tag, so I was guessing this is the right template?
    <body class="tribe_events-template-default single single-tribe_events postid-190 logged-in wp-custom-logo tribe-events-page-template tribe-js tribe-filter-live">

    Hi,

    Terribly sorry for the long delay in getting back to you.

    If you are using V2 or updated design views for The Events Calendar plugin, kindly start by making a copy of the following file,
    /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php

    and paste it here,
    /wp-content/themes/[your-theme]/tribe-events/single-event.php

    This is the template file you can modify to customize the single event view at the frontend.

    Kindly give it a try and let me know if this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Masood
