    Hi

    I’m trying to change The Events Calendar single-event.php by copying it into my child theme. However the copy of single-event.php in the Enfold theme folder seems to override this. If I change the file in the Enfold theme, it seems to work OK, but if I copy that into my child theme and change it, nothing works. Obviously I don’t want to change single-event.php in the Enfold theme folder as it will be over written when updated.

    Do you know what I need to do to add the file to the child theme to be able to over ride that page please.

    Many Thanks
    Regards
    Colin

    Hey waveseven,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    To override it in the child theme, use the tribe_events_template filter with a higher priority that checks the child theme directory first. Add this in the child theme’s functions.php:

    add_filter( 'tribe_events_template', 'avf_events_template_paths_mod', 20, 2 );

function avf_events_template_paths_mod( $file, $template )
{
    $redirect = array( 'default-template.php', 'single-event.php', 'pro/map.php' );

    if( in_array( $template, $redirect ) )
    {
        $child_file = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/config-events-calendar/views/' . $template;

        if( file_exists( $child_file ) )
        {
            $file = $child_file;
        }
    }

    return $file;
}

    Then place your modified template at:

    enfold-child/config-events-calendar/views/single-event.php

    Copy the original from enfold/config-events-calendar/views/single-event.php as your starting point.

    Best regards,
    Ismael
