Modern Tribe Events Calendar Replace Default Event Link with Event Website

When using the WordPress plugin The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe the default link in the calendar will point to the Event page. However, sometimes we want to point this link somewhere else.

When creating the event you can add an Event Website. In my case, the Event Website is what I want to use in place of the default link.

The following code will replace the default event link with the Event Website link. If the Event Website link is not set, the original default event link will still be used.

add_filter( 'tribe_get_event_link', function( $link, $post_id, $full_link, $url ) {
    $event_url = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventURL', true );
    return $event_url ?: $link;
}, 10, 4 );
