Hi Ryan,

EE4’s events are now Custom Post Types. As such the styling is done via the theme.

Here’s some docs, though it is a little developer heavy in its tone – http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-themes-templates/

Basically, the best course of action would be to create a child theme for your theme, and then create a new archive and single page based on that called archive-event_espresso and single-event-espresso.

You would also need to hook into the right Custom Post Type.

In EE4 files /templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014 is a full Child Theme based on the default twentyfourteen theme that can be used as an example.

You can skip making a child theme and copy the necessary files in your own theme but that runs the risk of theme updates deleting those changes.

Also you could just use CSS to style it without the need to change files (display:none the content for example).

:( Personally I think this is why Themes should not use Custom Post Types, but I suppose that’s a discussion for a different forum.

You could either try a different theme or see if you can disable the themes Event custom post type.
