If you\u2019d like to reorder the subscription options that appear in the Subscribe<\/strong> dropdown on your calendar (for example, showing iCal<\/strong> first instead of Google Calendar<\/strong>), you can do this with a simple snippet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why You Might Want This<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By default, the calendar sets its own order for subscription options. Some sites may prefer to highlight a specific platform (like iCal) for their audience. With a filter, you can easily adjust which option appears first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Snippet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Add the following code to your site. You can place it in your theme\u2019s functions.php<\/strong> file via Appearance \u2192 Theme File Editor<\/strong>, or for a safer option, use the Code Snippets plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\/**\n * Reorder the subscribe links to place iCal first.\n *\n * @param array $subscribe_links An array of subscribe\/export link objects.\n * @return array The reordered array of subscribe\/export link objects.\n *\/\nfunction my_custom_reorder_subscribe_links( array $subscribe_links ): array {\n    $target= null;\n\n    \/\/ Check if the 'ical' item exists and remove it from its current position.\n    if ( isset( $subscribe_links['ical'] ) ) {\n        $target= $subscribe_links['ical'];\n        unset( $subscribe_links['ical'] );\n    }\n\n    \/\/ If the 'ical' item was found, add it to the beginning of the array.\n    if ( null !== $target) {\n        $subscribe_links = [ 'ical' => $target] + $subscribe_links;\n    }\n\n    return $subscribe_links;\n}\nadd_filter( 'tec_views_v2_subscribe_links', 'my_custom_reorder_subscribe_links', 10 );\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
This will move the iCal<\/strong> option to the top of the dropdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customizing Other Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019d like to move a different option to the top, simply replace 'ical'<\/code> in the snippet with one of these keys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
