Creating template overrides in Event Schedule Manager (ESM) might be not as straightforward, but it’s not rocket science either. Let’s see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESM has templates for three of its post types: sessions, speakers, and sponsors. The respective template files can be found in the event-schedule-manager\/templates\/<\/code> folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the plugin does not include a built-in method for creating template overrides for these, a simple snippet can do the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out our article about\u00a0how to best implement custom code snippets<\/a>\u00a0on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n

\nadd_filter( 'single_template', function( $template ) {\n\t\/\/ Bail, if not Event Schedule Manager\n\tif ( ! str_contains( $template, 'event-schedule-manager\/templates') ) {\n\t\treturn $template;\n\t}\n\n\t\/\/ Get the template override.\n\t$template_override = trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory() ) . 'event-schedule-manager\/' . basename( $template );\n\t\n\t\/\/ Check if the file exists.\n\tif ( file_exists( $template_override ) ) {\n\t\treturn $template_override;\n\t}\n\n\treturn $template;\n}, 20, 1 );\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The above snippet will instruct WordPress that if one of the templates from Event Schedule Manager is about to be used, first check if there is a template override available in the child theme, and make use of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s talk about the files themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, go to your child theme folder (wp-content\/themes\/{your-child-theme}<\/code>) and create a folder named event-schedule-manager<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then copy and paste the template files you want to override from the wp-content\/plugins\/event-schedule-manager\/templates\/<\/code> folder in the newly created folder in your child theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end, the folder and file structure for the overrides should look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nwp root\n|-- wp-content\n    |-- themes\n        |-- my-child-theme\n            |-- event-schedule-manager\n                |-- session-template.php\n                |-- speaker-template.php\n                |-- sponsor-template.php\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
Now you can start editing these templates to your heart’s desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
