Enabling "The Events Calendar"
---

### 1. Install "[The Events Calendar Plugin](https://theeventscalendar.com/products/wordpress-events-calendar/)" and "The Events Calendar Pro Plugin" - the pro version is found in Google Drive under WordPress/Plugins.

### 2. Go into functions.php and uncomment line 55
This will enable featured images for events. Don't forget to recommend image dimensions as the second paramater of that function (ex: dimensions: 380px by 250px).

```php
vws()->featured_image( 'tribe_events' );
```

### 3. Uncomment the following from app.scss
This will enable our custom styling for the calendar (all views)
```php
@import 'e_components/_events';
```

### 4. Move page-events.php and single-tribe_event_series.php from extras/events/ into the theme root (and modify as necessary)

### 5. Go to events settings in WordPress. Under "Display" tab, select the new "Events" template as the page template.

### 6. Enter test events with all different options and confirm styles look good (and modify as necessary)

### 7. If you need to update the base slug of events (which is /events/ by default), go into public/themes/vector/tribe/events/v2/components/top-bar/actions/content.php and update the base URL of the category filter.
