If you want to modify or create your own single event page template with Elementor Pro you can. For this, you will have to check with Elementor Pro directly on how to modify custom post type page template..
The event is a custom post type so in WordPress a custom post type is a PHP file template (called single-event.php) in our case. Its not done via Elementor because its how WordPress works for CPT.
If you want to edit individual event, you can go to wp-admin > event and edit your event details.
If you want to modify the single event template with Elementor, your only choice is to create your own event template using the instruction below OR edit the single-event.php file code.
I think there is a confusion or I dont understand exactly what you are trying to do, but you can do everything with Elementor and Elementor Pro using our theme.
- building your event SINGLE page template is doable with Elementor Pro's theme builder as I shown in the previous screenshot. Once the layout is done IN elementor pro, all events will inherit from that template.
Now, if this is not working for you, let me know what is not working exactly.
What I would like to do is edit the existing Single Event page/template that you provided in the theme and I am unable to find it listed under Templates or pages in WP.
I know I can create a new one of my own, but I like yours and would just like to edit the template and use it for all events.
I am unable to find it listed anywhere to edit it.
As I said, you cannot edit the existing single page template WITH elementor because our own single page templates has been build with PHP only. Why? Because it's how WordPress works. Without a php template, there would be no custom post type.
And since our single template is very simple and dont have much details on it, Im wondering why you just dont recreate it (with Elementor Pro) to suits your need ?
If, for any reasons, you don't want to recreate it with Elementor, what do you want to change exactly on the existing template?
#1 in your example I accessed custom fields that were already part of the event setup
Can I access ones that I create myself at the bottom of the event, the naming convention seems different, so I wasnt sure.
#2 When I add two custom fields to the single page using "inline" is there a way to adjust the spacing, etc between them? I tried adding spaces before and after, but it only lets me add "1"
In my attached example, the two fields are too far apart. I wanted to put a | between them as a separator, but the spacing before and after it are way off.
#1 I never tried to use custom fields created "on the fly', i am sorry. This would require some research/test to see how it works. Unfortunately it's beyond the scope of our free support. If you want us to assist, check out our customization services here: https://sonaar.io/service/website-customization-service/
#2 What I would do is to add 2 separate custom field widget (1 for the date, and 1 for the time). And have the 2 widgets's positioning set "inline" so they can be beside each other. and then adjust padding/margin of each of your widgets to desired spacing..
In regards to #1, These are custom fields added in the area that is provided in the Events setup page that was part of the theme purchased. I would think the goal to give that ability is so that data can be accessed if needed?
Im not asking for custom dev, I would think when the theme and event module were designed, this was the thought behind providing the ability to add custom fields? I just want to know if they can be accessed and added to new pages.
I assume it should work as with any other theme and adding new custom field to custom post type should work as with any themes. Have you tried it? What does not work exactly?
I managed to get the date, time, venue and city with Post Costum field , Custom Key (event_city, event_venue). Awesome!
Now I also want to display the buttons (in the admin called 'Event Call to Action'). Can you tell me how I make them visible on my own created even template?
im not sure if your issue is the same than GertJan..could you please elaborate on what you are trying to change exactly. You can provide screenshot if it helps.
I bought the standup theme and am starting to work with it.
I already own Elementor Pro and use it pretty well.
Is there any basic walk through on the structure of the Standup theme and adding events, etc..
Also, can the single event template be edited via Elementor Pro? I cant find the page or template to edit for the single events...
Hi,
You can learn more about our theme and watch video tutorials to get started here: https://sonaar.io/video-tutorials/
If you want to modify or create your own single event page template with Elementor Pro you can. For this, you will have to check with Elementor Pro directly on how to modify custom post type page template..
Thanks,

I couldnt find your single event page to modify? Is that allowed in your theme?
I know how to make my own, but would prefer to modify the one already being used.
If you want to modify the template without Elementor, you can edit the file called single-event.php
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
Can it be edited with Elementor or just at the code level?
I am not at the point of doing code level modifications, so that may affect whether this theme template will work for me.
Yes it can if you use Elementor Pro's Theme Builder feature. That is why I was refering you directly to Elementor Pro.
You can modify any single CPT template by going to WP-Admin > Templates > Theme Builder > Add New and select Event for the template.
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
What is the name of the template you use for the single event ? I cannot find it.
See screenshot https://d.pr/i/cJ3Vlv
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
I am not sue if you understand what I am asking
That is where I can create a new single listing
Where can I find and edit the existing one that came with the theme?
The event is a custom post type so in WordPress a custom post type is a PHP file template (called single-event.php) in our case. Its not done via Elementor because its how WordPress works for CPT.
If you want to edit individual event, you can go to wp-admin > event and edit your event details.
If you want to modify the single event template with Elementor, your only choice is to create your own event template using the instruction below OR edit the single-event.php file code.
That is how WordPress and Elementor works.

Based on your answers this theme will not work for me. I thought the single event page would be customizable in Elementor as I have for other CPT.
I emailed [email protected] but havent received any response regarding this.
please send me a screenshot of what you want to edit in elementor exactly and Ill show you how.
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
Its not that easy.. I was wanting to create an event single page using Elementor and you said it cant be done that way with your theme.
Its not a specific item, I am trying to layout the single page to be used by all events
I think there is a confusion or I dont understand exactly what you are trying to do, but you can do everything with Elementor and Elementor Pro using our theme.

I will try to recreate the single page template
Can I access custom fields I add for events in the template ?
Yes, for the custom fields, you can use the field name: data-field_name
see screenshot: https://d.pr/i/2abbAx
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew
Max, thank you.. I think I can make this work.
Two last questions:
#1 in your example I accessed custom fields that were already part of the event setup
Can I access ones that I create myself at the bottom of the event, the naming convention seems different, so I wasnt sure.
#2 When I add two custom fields to the single page using "inline" is there a way to adjust the spacing, etc between them? I tried adding spaces before and after, but it only lets me add "1"

#2 below will work well enough, thank you.

Hi Maxime,
I found this issue as I am also working on my own template for events... got it almost working... not all.
Please a look at this: https://d.pr/free/i/jGvNOU
The venue and city are 2 seperate custom fields..
I managed to get them online, only below each other...
I want them next to each other like:
venue | city
Is that possible?
Kind regards,
GertJan
You can do it with custom css and have them display:inline-block etc..
unfortunately, custom css is beyond the scope of our support as well.

Hi Maxime!
I have made a new template for a single event :)
https://www.madonna.nl/concerten/madame-x-tour/07-03-2020
I managed to get the date, time, venue and city with Post Costum field , Custom Key (event_city, event_venue). Awesome!
Now I also want to display the buttons (in the admin called 'Event Call to Action'). Can you tell me how I make them visible on my own created even template?
Kind regards,
GertJan
Umm, not sure if acf / elementor are compatible with repeater field as the buttons use repeater field..I never tried it sorry.
Thanks,
Max from the Sonaar.io Crew

Thanks
Hello @Sandra,
