The single event page

Every event has its own page, rendered by the plugin's own template. This is what it contains, in the order it renders, and which parts you can turn off.

The structure

  1. Subheader — the event title over the header image, with its categories.
  2. Previous and next arrows — navigation between events, ordered by start date.
  3. Date block — the start and end dates, side by side.
  4. Details sidebar — date, category, place, organizer, telephone, Add to my calendar, and additional link buttons.
  5. Remaining places — when enabled on the event.
  6. The button — registration, or Get access with WooCommerce.
  7. Go back — when enabled site-wide.
  8. Title — when enabled site-wide.
  9. Introduction — the event's introductory text.
  10. Featured image — when enabled site-wide.
  11. Content — the editor content.
  12. Related content — when configured.

Empty fields render nothing at all, so a sparse event produces a clean page rather than a page of empty labels.

What you control site-wide

Settings → POM Events → Single event:

Setting Effect
Disable subheader Removes the title-over-image band at the top
Display title Prints the title again in the content column
Hide "Add to calendar" button Removes the calendar link from the sidebar
Display "Go back" button Adds a back link, with its own label and URL
Header image Whether the subheader uses the event's featured image or one custom image for every event
Custom header image That custom image
Display featured image before content Prints the featured image above the content
Related content label, excerpt, link The related block's presentation

These apply to every event. There is no per-event override.

The subheader and the title

Note the interaction: the subheader already prints the title over the image. Display title prints it again in the content column.

Sensible combinations:

Subheader Display title Result
On Off The usual choice — one title, over the image
Off On A plain page with a normal heading
On On The title twice — rarely wanted
Off Off No title anywhere — almost never right

The details sidebar

The sidebar is the fact sheet, and it skips anything empty. It prints, in order: the date and end date, the event category, the place, the organizer, the telephone, the add-to-calendar link, and the additional link buttons.

Because it is fixed, the way to control it is to control the event's fields. Leave a field empty and its line disappears.

Previous and next

The arrows move between events in start date order, not publication order. They give visitors a way to browse the programme from any event page.

They are automatic and cannot be curated. For a deliberate relationship between two events, use related content.

The registration area

Between the sidebar and the content sits the action area: the remaining-places display, then the button. Both depend on the event's own settings and on whether attendee functionality is enabled site-wide.

With attendee functionality disabled, nothing in this area is rendered and the page becomes a pure announcement.

What is not on the page

  • The event's hashtag, which is stored but not printed by this template.
  • The attendee list, which is never public.
  • The price, which lives on the WooCommerce product.
  • A map, which you add as an additional link or in the content.
