Customizing category pages

Hello,

I would like to use my own layout for the category pages. So I understand that I need to create a template.

I have followed this advice events manager website tutorial . The structure I have created is the following:

wp-content/themes/mytheme/plugins/events-manager/templates/taxonomy-events-categories.php

I have changed ‘override to formats’ to NO.

When I view one of my category pages in the browser, it doesn’t display the template I’ve created. It uses the standard home one.

My code in taxonomy-events-categories.php :

<?php get_header(); ?>
 <div class="post-inner">
 <?php
  global $post, $EM_Category, $wp_query;
     $EM_Cat = em_get_category($wp_query->queried_object->term_id);
       <h1><?php echo $EM_Cat->output('#_CATEGORYNAME'); ?></h1><br/>
       <p><?php echo $EM_Cat->output('#_CATEGORYNOTES'); ?></p><br/>
       <h3>Next Events</h3><br/>
       <div>
        <p><?php echo $EM_Cat->output('#_CATEGORYNEXTEVENTS'); ?></p>
       </div>

 </div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Please can someone explain the problem? So that I can make my template display for the category pages? Thank-you
