Customization: Overriding/Customizing the Template Files

For overriding or customization, the template files can be found in the wp-event-manager-contact-organizer/templates/ directory.

To override a template file, you need to follow the below mentioned steps.

  1. Create directory “wp-event-manager-contact-organizer” under your theme folder
  2. copy the template file to “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-contact-organizer/” directory.
  3. Your theme will use all the template files from the “/wp-content/yourtheme/wp-event-manager-contact-organizer/” directory instead of the plugin’s template file (/wp-content/plugins/wp-event-manager-contact-organizer/).
  • contact-organizer.php – generates contact form.
  • content-contact-organizer-email.php – sends mail to organizer.

Remember: If you have overrided template file and plugin frequently updating then you need to sync template file with new updates from the plugin’s template file for better functionality and new features.
