Advanced: Overriding/Customizing the Template Files

For overriding or customization, template files can be found in the wp-event-manager-organizers/templates/ directory. To override a template file.

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

• single-organizer.php which contains the single organizer details.
• content-organizers.php which displays a grouped and alphabetized list of all the organizers.
• content-no-organizers-found.php which controls the message when no organizer is found.

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.
