Elementor Single Builder Addon Preparation

Installation

In the first step, Ensure that both MEC (Modern Events Calendar) and the Elementor Single Builder Addon are installed and activated.

Adjusting Single Builder Post Type

To configure Elementor with the MEC Single Builder post type, please head over to Elementor > Settings > General and enable the Events Single Builder post type.

Now, you can set different templates for the Single Event Page and then set them for all the Single Event Pages or only for a certain one.

Elementor Single Builder Settings

Once you have set the initial settings from the Elementor menu, please navigate to the M.E. Calendar menu > Single Builder.

On this page, you have the option to design your own Elementor template that will be showcased on your individual event page.

There is a category called MEC Single Builder in the Elementor sidebar, where you can add MEC widgets to the section using the Elementor drag-and-drop feature.

Now, using the new features in the Elementor, you can easily customize colors, fonts, sizes, etc.

Note: When adding some of these widgets, you might face a message and cannot see the widget’s preview. To resolve the issue, you must ensure that the displaying event already contains that widget and that you have activated that module from MEC Settings > Single Event > Sidebar.

Assigning Single Builder template Globally

Once you have finished designing the single builder template, navigate to MEC Settings > Single Event > Basic tab.

1- Single Event Style

This feature provides you with the ability to select from three distinct template options: Default View, Modern View, and Elementor Single Builder. These templates can be applied globally to the single event page and can be set here.
