Advanced: Overriding/Customizing the templates

For overriding or customization, template files can be found in the wp-event-manager-export/templates/ directory.

To override a template file, follow the below-mentioned steps:

  1. Create directory “wp-event-manager-export” under your theme folder.
  2. Copy the template file to “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-export/” directory.
  3. Your theme will use all the template files from the “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-export/” directory instead of the plugin’s template file (/wp-content/plugins/wp-event-manager-export/).
  4. event-export.php template file lists the user’s export.

Remember: If you have overridden template file and plugin frequently updating then you need to sync template file with new updates from the plugin’s template file for better functionality and new features.
