Hi, i’ve taken over our club website from the original developer and have worked out how to edit everything except our Event Entry buttons etc. that are located on our Home page and Event page. Where do I start?

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @scmsc Congratulations on taking over the club website. I hope you have fun tinkering with it using WordPress!

I realize that you would like to update the Event Entry buttons etc, located on your home and event pages. It would be slightly difficult to comment on the same looking at the site from the front end. But from what I can gather, this site is built using the Fusion Builder and the Avada theme. Perhaps you might need to tinker with the Fusion builder tool to update the same.

I can also see that you may be referring to this section which highlights the events. Those features seem to be coming from The Events Calendar Plugin that is installed in the site. You might want to navigate to the site’s dashboard (WP-Admin), and look for a section titled Events Calendar and make any changes as required there. If you want to tinker with events, the plugin has its own knowledgebase which might be of help.

I hope that guides you in the right direction. If you have specific questions on the plugin and its functionality, feel free to ask directly in their support forum as well.

Hi Hari,

Thankyou for your quick response. I’ve tried finding the Events Calendar everywhere but can’t seem to find it – see the screenshot of our Dashboard below…is there something missing perhaps?

I checked that we’re listed as an Administrator under Users also, incase that was the issue…

Thanks for getting back to us, @scmsc The screenshot you shared was not visible. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to upload images directly here. You can upload the screenshot to your media library and share the link with us, or you can use a service like Droplr or CloudApp to share the image file. I would proceed with caution before sharing your dashboard information here in public though, as this is a public forum. So you might want to be sensitive with the same before sharing.

In any case, to find the Events Calendar admin screen, uou might want to look for a section that looks like Events on the right hand sidebar. Something that looks like this:

If that’s not visible in the backend, it is possible that you might be using another Events plugin. If that’s the case, I would navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for any plugin with the title “Events” or so. The events data that you’re seeing might be coming from those spaces.

Let us know what you find!

@scmsc Actually, please ignore my previous message. I did some more digging, and found out where this was coming from! Your site is not using the Events Calendar plugin. It looks like your previous site developer used a platform called Elfsight to set up this calendar. They might have used this integration: https://elfsight.com/event-calendar-widget/wordpress/ which is available as a widget. I was able to identify this by going through your site’s code in detail.

I am not familiar with the platform, so I don’t know how it works. They might have created an account with Elfsight to manage the same. If you’re able to retrieve the credentials, please log in to Elfsight to make changes to or update the widget. That should help you fix this. If you can’t find the credentials, please reach out to the other developer.

Unfortunately, Elfsight is beyond the scope of our support and we’re not able to help further on how to customize the same. With that said, I do hope that this guides you in the right direction!

Hi Hari,

Thankyou for all your help, i’ll look into that and will try contacting the developer again. I thought they must have used something we didn’t have access too…but will do some investigating.

Thanks again 🙂
