Dear Support,

I am using the plugin “Event planner”, which has a custom post type for events.
As adviced by other posts in this forum, I created a child theme with a new single wp-single and content file for the new custom post type for which I just copied the original ones and adjusted links and names.
However, in the custom post some php echos (from WPML and the Event planner plugin for example) do not show up and the title picture does not crop.
I know you do not provide support on other plugins, but i thought this problem is more related to x than to the plugin.
Do you have an idea what exactly happened?

cheers,
tabasko

Hello There,

Could please post the contents of the single-epl_event.php file? We want to check what you have in there. If I may ask, what should be the correct output of this page? At this time I am not entirely certain what it is you would like to accomplish based on the information given in your post. If you wouldn’t mind providing us with a little more clarification on what it is you’re wanting to do (a link to a similar example site would be very helpful, or perhaps some screenshots), we’ll be happy to provide you with a response once we have a better understanding of the situation.

Thank you.

Hello Rue Nel,

sorry for beeing unclear.

In single-epl_event.php I adjusted this line from the normal single.php: <?php x_get_view( x_get_stack(), 'wp', 'single-epl_event' ); ?>
In wp-single-epl_event.php this one: <?php x_get_view( 'ethos', 'content-epl_event', get_post_format() ); ?>
content-epl_event.php is now identical to the normal content.php to make it simpler.

I assumed that this should now look the same as a normal post, but you can see missing the category taxonomy, the paddings of the title and the language switcher on the top right. Some php echos seem not to work on this location.

Thank you in advance and best regards,
tabasko

Hi Tabasko,

Thank you for the links. For the spacing, please add this CSS:

.single-epl_event .x-main .hentry .entry-featured {
    margin-bottom: 2.15em;
}

Regarding the missing category meta for the custom post type, it needs some customization. Please check this thread:https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/metadata-in-custom-post-type/ for some guide.

Please also clarify which php echos is not working.

Hope this helps.

Hello Lely,

this helped a lot!

The php echos from my plugins don’t work: <?php do_action('wpml_add_language_selector'); ?> from WPML for example,
that I have included in the navbar (top right) on all other pages.
And the following from the Event planner plugin itself: http://help.wpeventsplanner.com/customer/en/portal/articles/379174-template-tags
They work at some places in the template and at others they don’t, which is very mysterious to me.

Thank you so far and best regards,
Tabasko

Hi there,

Would you mind providing the exact file/template you’re applying this? I’ll check that on my local copy.

Thanks!

Hello Rue Nel,

the issue is already solved!
it was a problem with the plugin and not the theme.

thank you a lot for your help!

cheers,
