Integrating with The Events Calendar and using a Toolset Starter theme.

Problem: Pages generated by The Events Calendar plugin include duplicate menus and constrained site proportions.

Solution: Integrate the events calendar template files with Layouts by using dd_thelayout().

I am trying to: correctly display an individual event from the "The Events Calendar" plugin.

I visited this URL: hidden link

I expected to see: the site display as it does on on individual pages other than this, such as this: hidden link

Instead, I got a duplicate menu and the total website loading into a smaller box.

Hi, The Events Calendar plugin uses its own PHP templates that override Layouts templates, so custom code is required to integrate the two. Here is some information about Theme integration:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/layouts-theme-integration/

In your case, the PHP templates are created by The Events Calendar plugin, but the process for integration remains the same as described above.

Please let me know if you need additional clarification on any of these, and I'll be happy to help.

Thanks for your help. This post provided just the code I needed (at least I think so) to get things working at least partially.
