The Events Calendar: Disable Organizer and Venue Pages

Disables public organizer and venue pages in The Events Calendar while keeping organizer and venue data available on event pages.

What It Does

• Disables public single organizer pages.
• Disables public organizer archives.
• Disables public single venue pages.
• Disables public venue archives.
• Removes clickable organizer links from event pages.
• Removes clickable venue links from event pages where TEC outputs them.
• Keeps organizer names, venue names, phone numbers, email addresses, websites, and other event-level metadata available where templates already display them.
• Forces disabled organizer and venue requests to resolve as 404 responses until rewrite rules are refreshed.

Default Behavior

By default, the package disables both of these linked post types:

• tribe_organizer
• tribe_venue

Code-Level Configuration

Use the disable_tec_organizer_venue_pages_post_types filter in project code to control which linked post types should be disabled.

Disable only organizers:

add_filter('disable_tec_organizer_venue_pages_post_types', static function () {
    return ['tribe_organizer'];
});

Disable only venues:

add_filter('disable_tec_organizer_venue_pages_post_types', static function () {
    return ['tribe_venue'];
});

Disable both organizers and venues explicitly:

add_filter('disable_tec_organizer_venue_pages_post_types', static function () {
    return ['tribe_organizer', 'tribe_venue'];
});

Installation

This package is intended for Composer-managed WordPress projects that support must-use plugin directories installed as package subdirectories.

composer require kevin-terry/disable-tec-organizer-venue-pages

If your project uses Composer installers, ensure wordpress-muplugin packages install into your mu-plugin directory.

Example installer path:

{
  "extra": {
    "installer-paths": {
      "public_html/mu-plugins/{$name}": ["type:wordpress-muplugin"]
    }
  }
}

After installing, resave permalinks once in WordPress admin.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.2+
• PHP 7.4+
• The Events Calendar plugin

Notes

• This package is designed for Composer-managed mu-plugin workflows.
• In stacks that do not autoload mu-plugin subdirectories, you will need your existing mu-plugin autoloader strategy.
• The package does not remove organizer or venue management from the WordPress admin.
