Place the map & featured image below event description, instead of above

Published on: November 11, 2011 | Categories: Tutorial

First, make sure you are overriding the ECP templates by creating an ‘events’ folder in your theme directory and then place a duplicate copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php in there. That way when you update your changes will remain.

For the featured image: find lines 95-98 in single.php:

<?php
	if ( function_exists('has_post_thumbnail') && has_post_thumbnail() ) {?>
		<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
	<?php } ?>

… and place it below the_content() on line 99 or wherever else you want it to appear.

For the map: find lines 91-93 in single.php:

<?php if( tribe_embed_google_map( get_the_ID() ) ) : ?>
<?php if( tribe_address_exists( get_the_ID() ) ) { echo tribe_get_embedded_map(); } ?>
<?php endif; ?>

… and place it below the_content() on line 99 or wherever else you want it to appear.

    I had to also move the following code in order to grab the Google Map:

      Thanks for the note, Kishore. Looks like the code got cut off — if you’re still monitoring this, we’d love to see the change you made (via pastie.org or something similar) in case other users could benefit from this as well. Cheers!

    I did not understand what file should I search this in? and where should I move the code to?

    • Rob La Gatta says

      Hi Moshe. You’re going to make this change in the copied single.php file, which should exist in a newly-created ‘events’ folder in your theme directory. Where you move the code-in-question will depend on your intended placement, but moving it below the_content() should push it below the description etc. Are you having issues with that or finding it doesn’t work as expected?

    If there’s code missing, could the rest be provided? I tried this and it didn’t work. Moved around what looked to me to be the google map code, but still not getting the effect mentioned here. Thanks. I’d really like to add this.

      Hey Ramona, I can try to help you out here. Can you share what your current problematic code looks like with pastie.org or a similar tool, and I can advise accordingly?
