Events Pages need better markup and corrected Schema/hAtom

[andrebu]

Basic obstacle where the markup is a pain to reach and may be overwritten on update.

According to "The Events Calendar" documentation, It may be possible to customize the template files for this plugin such that the customizations are not overwritten on plugin update:

Overhaul is complete for both hAtom (removed hEntry and added h-event markup) and Schema.org markup.

Tests can confirm here:

Both the Events Archive Page at /events as well as Single Event Pages are now both almost perfectly compliant with both hAtom and Schema structured data markup standards.

Several errors remain on the Events Archive page as several Event Posts are simply missing location data, while others have the price set as a range rather than as a fixed value. Both simply must be entered and properly in order for these 14 pictured errors to be eliminated.

A custom PHP template file is being used for the EVENTS Archive page.

If this customization is desired, the custom archive PHP template usage must be enabled in WP Left Admin Nav Panel > Events > Settings > Display > Basic Template Settings > Event Template:
