new_gist_file.md

This can be done by adjusting the some templates files for Event Espresso 3. Here the steps to do so:

1. Login to your WordPress site with your preferred SFTP or FTP client. FileZilla and Cyberduck are free options. Try Transmit for Mac

2. Browse to this location: /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates

3. Locate the following files and download a copy of them to your local computer:

event_list_display.php

event_list.php

AND

registration_page_display.php

registration_page.php

4. Using your preferred FTP or SFTP client, browse to this location: /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates

5. Upload the four files that you recently downloaded to the location above

6. Open the event_list_display.php file for editing and go to line 43. You’ll see some coding like this:

	<h3 id="event_title-<?php echo $event_id ?>" class="event_title ui-widget-header ui-corner-top"><a title="<?php echo stripslashes_deep($event_name) ?>" class="a_event_title" id="a_event_title-<?php echo $event_id ?>" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event_name) ?></a>

7. Replace the coding with this and save changes:

	<h3 id="event_title-<?php echo $event_id ?>" class="event_title ui-widget-header ui-corner-top"><a title="<?php echo stripslashes_deep($event_name) ?>" class="a_event_title" id="a_event_title-<?php echo $event_id ?>" href="<?php echo $registration_url; ?>"><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event_name) ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($start_date, get_option('date_format')) ?></a>

8. Open the registration_page_display.php file for editing and go to line 12. You’ll see some coding like this:

	<h3 class="event_title ui-widget-header ui-corner-top" id="event_title-<?php echo $event_id; ?>">
		<?php echo $event_name ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($start_date, get_option('date_format')) ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'EXPIRED' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event Expired</span>' : ''; ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'PENDING' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event is Pending</span>' : ''; ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'DRAFT' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event is a Draft</span>' : ''; ?>
	</h3>

9. Replace the coding with this and save changes:

	<h3 class="event_title ui-widget-header ui-corner-top" id="event_title-<?php echo $event_id; ?>">
		<?php echo $event_name ?> - <?php echo event_date_display($start_date, get_option('date_format')) ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'EXPIRED' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event Expired</span>' : ''; ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'PENDING' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event is Pending</span>' : ''; ?> <?php echo $is_active['status'] == 'DRAFT' ? ' - <span class="expired_event">Event is a Draft</span>' : ''; ?>
