The Events Calendar: Change Event Archives' iCalendar export links to webcal://

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * The Events Calendar: Change Event Archives' iCalendar export links to webcal://
 *
 * This causes the "iCal Export" button to recommend to calendar applications
 * (e.g. Apple, Outlook, etc.) that they should *subscribe* instead of *download*.
 *
 * We have to use JavaScript instead of PHP because the "Export Events"
 * iCalendar link gets built via JS via
 * /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/resources/js/tribe-events.min.js
 * (the script with the `tribe-events-calendar-script` handle).
 *
 * If we were to use PHP (using the `tribe_get_ical_link`,
 * `tribe_get_single_ical_link`, and `tribe_events_force_filtered_ical_link`
 * filters), the link would be static instead of being dynamic to things like
 * an Event Category archive page.

Hey, I know you haven't been on here in a while, but I'm having trouble knowing exactly where this is supposed to go. The closest I've come is ical.php, but I don't see where in there makes the most sense. Can you help?

I haven't seen these comments before... this snippet (without opening PHP tag) goes in your child theme's functions.php

If you need more help, please contact https://support.theeventscalendar.com/
