 * Hello, Thanks for the great plugin!
    I am trying to customize the plugin but 
   can’t find a way to customize the /template-tags/general.php file. It doesn’t
   matter where I put it (my-theme/tribe-events/src/functions/template-tags/ or 
   my-theme/tribe-events/functions/template-tags/ or my-theme/tribe-events/template-
   tags/ or even my-theme/tribe-events/views/) there is no override happening. Any
   help is much appreciated!

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for using The Events Calendar. I can help out here.
 * It does not work that way you can only move templates found in the plugins _/
   src/views/_ directory to edit them.
 * The only files the plugin looks for are found in our themer’s guide:
 * [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/)
 * No other files can be moved to your theme to override plugin files.
 * Cheers
