by 2 Comments

  1. Ensure the Timber Plugin or Composer dependency is installed

  2. Install the Events Calendar Plugin

    This works for the free version. If using the paid version of the plugin – you might have to modify the other steps.

  3. Activate the Events Calendar Plugin

  4. Create the template file for the override

    Create a file at the following location inside the Timber theme tribe/events/v2/default-template.php

  5. Add the code to the template file

    See code snippet 1 below

  6. Render the markup in twig

    See code snippet 2

<?php
/**
 * Default Events Template

use Tribe\Events\Views\V2\Template_Bootstrap;

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	die( '-1' );
