How to display additional custom fields on a single event page?

WP Event Manager tutorial shows how to add custom fields on a single event page/single event listing page.

It requires customizing your PHP file.

Display additional custom fields on a single event page

1. Open your theme functions.php field.
2. Create a function, to append a new field. First, hook it in:
3. Add the code :

   /**
    * get_event_start_date function.
    *
    * @access public
    * @param int $post (default: null)
    * @return string
    */
    
   function get_event_YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME( $post = null ) 
   {
    
   	$post = get_post( $post );
    
   	if ( $post->post_type !== 'event_listing' ) 
   		return '';
   	
   	$event_FIELD_NAME 	= $post->_YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME;
    
   	return apply_filters( 'display_event_FIELD_NAME', $event_FIELD_NAME, $post );
   
   }
    
   /**
    * Display or retrieve the current event custom field.
    *
    * @access public
    * @param mixed $id (default: null)
    * @return void
    */
    
   function display_event_YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME( $before = '', $after = '', $echo = true, $post = null ) 
   {
   $event_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME = get_event_YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME( $post );
   $event_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME = $before . $event_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME . $after;
   if ( $echo )
   echo $event_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME;
   else
   	return $event_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME;
   }
   

4. Once you have added above function in function file please override template file called “content-single-event_listing.php” to your child theme by following this doc and add the following function to the file.

    display_event_YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME( '',   '',   true, $post); 
   

Note: Please replace CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME with the name of the field you are wanting to display.
