Use only the /events/ page and disable other auto-generated views

Hi!

I’m setting up a new website using The Events Calendar, and I only want to use the main /events/ page to display my events.

However, I’ve noticed that the plugin automatically generates additional views and URLs — for example /events/2025-11-06/, /events/month/, /events/week/, etc.

For SEO and design reasons, I don’t want those extra views to exist or be accessible at all.

My question:
Is there a way (through settings or code) to disable all those automatically generated views and keep only the main /events/ page active?

I’m using Divi as my theme, if that matters.

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Best,
Lena

Hi @lapg ,

Thank you for reaching out.

We strongly advise against deactivating URLs, as this may cause some undesired behaviors. But, at your discretion, you can hook into the tribe_events_rewrite_base_slugs filter, which is applied in the Tribe__Events__Rewrite::get_bases function.

On the other hand, since you’re worried about SEO, I recommend you go over our Improving SEO with The Events Calendar knowledge base article to get insights about the plugin’s approach to SEO.

My main concern is (I use DIVI), is also that I don´t know how to edit the layout of all those pages with DIVI builder. But I actually don´t want them to be indexed or be able to be found when searching on e.g. Google.

I have, on on website added this. Is that the wrong way to go?
```
add_action( 'wp_head', function() {
    // Blockera månadsvy
    if ( function_exists( 'tribe_is_month' ) && tribe_is_month() ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
    }

    // Blockera dagsvy
    if ( function_exists( 'tribe_is_day' ) && tribe_is_day() ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
    }

    // Blockera veckovy
    if ( function_exists( 'tribe_is_week' ) && tribe_is_week() ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
    }

    // Blockera listvy (kommande, tidigare)
    if ( function_exists( 'tribe_is_list_view' ) && tribe_is_list_view() ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
    }

    // Blockera eventarkiv (kalenderstartsidan /events/)
    if ( is_post_type_archive( 'tribe_events' ) ) {
        echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">';
    }
}, 1 );
```

No I don´t have premium och pro version.

But now I might think I solved my problem. Please confirm. I had both List, Month and Day selected in the View settings. Now I only have List selected. That should solve my problem right? I only want my event list to be indexed. Dont need the other pages.

Hi @lapg ,

Thank you for your message.

Yes, enabling only the List view in Events -> Settings -> Display (tab) -> Calendar (sub-tab) -> Calendar Display (section) -> Enable event views, should disable all the other views along with their URLs.
