The Events Calendar Customizations in Genesis

In my tutorial requests Trello board a user asked,

The Event Calendar by Modern Tribe - they don't have a way to add the holidays. So I created a category called Holidays. When displayed in List View or Monthly Calendar, I do not want them "clickable" and I do not want the "Read More" or "Find out More" links to display in List View on Mobile. I only want the holidays to display to tell people they are holidays not an actual event. I use this to force list view on mobile - https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/forcing-list-view-on-mobile-only/#dl_post-964243.

This tutorial covers the steps to customize The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe Inc. such that events belonging to "Holidays" event category are displayed without hyperlinks in Month and List views.

Step 1

To fix the display of month, list etc. event templates on /events page when Content Archives are set to either Excerpts or Content Limit in Genesis theme settings, add the following in your child theme's functions.php (if not already present):

/**
* The Events Calendar - Bypass Genesis genesis_do_post_content in Event Views
 *
 * This snippet overrides the Genesis Content Archive settings for Event Views
 *
 * Event Template set to: Admin > Events > Settings > Display Tab > Events template > Default Page Template
 *
 * The Events Calendar @4.0.4
 * Genesis @2.2.6
*/
add_action( 'get_header', 'tribe_genesis_bypass_genesis_do_post_content' );
function tribe_genesis_bypass_genesis_do_post_content() {

    if ( class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Main' ) && class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Main' ) ) {
        if ( tribe_is_month() || tribe_is_upcoming() || tribe_is_past() || tribe_is_day() || tribe_is_map() || tribe_is_photo() || tribe_is_week() || ( tribe_is_recurring_event() && ! is_singular( 'tribe_events' ) ) ) {
            remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
            remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
            add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'the_content', 15 );
        }
    } elseif ( class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Main' ) && ! class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Main' ) ) {
        if ( tribe_is_month() || tribe_is_upcoming() || tribe_is_past() || tribe_is_day() ) {
            remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_image', 8 );
            remove_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'genesis_do_post_content' );
            add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'the_content', 15 );
        }
    }

}

Step 2

Copy

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/month/single-event.php

to

your-child-theme/tribe-events/month/single-event.php

and edit it.

Replace

<h3 class="tribe-events-month-event-title"><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $link ) ?>" class="url"><?php echo $title ?></a></h3>

with
