Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Events Shortcodes For The Events Calendar
No. The free version of events plugin does not provide built-in shortcodes to display events inside regular WordPress pages or posts. By default, events created with The Events Calendar appear on the main calendar archive page and individual event pages. This works well for basic event websites, but many website owners want more flexibility to show events in different sections of their site. For example, you may want to display: upcoming events on the homepage a small events list in the sidebar event schedules inside blog posts event sections on landing pages category-based event lists This is where Events Shortcodes becomes useful. The plugin adds shortcode and Gutenberg block support so you can display events created with The Events Calendar anywhere on your website without modifying your theme files.
You can easily display an events list by placing the shortcode on any page, post or widget area. Example shortcode: [events-calendar-templates category="all" template="default" style="style-1" limit="10" order="ASC" time="future"] Once the shortcode is added, WordPress will automatically render a list of events created with The Events Calendar plugin. The shortcode includes several attributes that allow you to control how the events appear on the page. For example, you can customize: number of events displayed event order (ascending or descending) event categories layout style event date range
To show upcoming events, simply place the shortcode provided by Events Shortcodes addon inside your homepage and use this parameter in your shortcode attribute: time="future" This tells the plugin to display only upcoming events. Displaying upcoming events helps visitors quickly see what events are scheduled next and encourages them to explore event details.
Events Shortcodes extension also includes a dedicated Gutenberg block that allows you to display events visually without writing shortcode manually. To use it: Open any page or post in the WordPress editor Click Add Block (+) Search for Events Block Insert the block into the page Configure event display options from the block settings panel The block allows you to control event layout, number of events, and other display settings directly inside the editor. This makes it easier for users who prefer a visual configuration instead of editing shortcode attributes.
The free version of Events Shortcodes provides multiple layouts that allow you to display events in different visual formats. Available layouts include: Events List layout â Displays events in a structured vertical list format that is ideal for schedules and announcements. Events Timeline layout â Shows events in chronological order using a timeline design, which works well for highlighting sequences of activities. Events Minimal List layout â A compact event list layout designed for smaller content areas such as sidebars or short event sections. These layouts allow you to present event information clearly while maintaining the visual style of your website.
The Pro version of Events Shortcodes plugin includes additional layouts designed for more dynamic event displays. Available advanced layouts include: Grid layout for card-style event displays Carousel layout for sliding event sections Slider layout for featured event highlights Masonry layout for flexible event grids Accordion layout for compact event lists Highlighted event layouts These layouts allow you to create more interactive event sections and visually engaging event showcases across your website. đ View All Layout Demos
The shortcode parameters allow you to filter events in many ways. You can display events based on: event categories specific date ranges upcoming events past events all events For example, you could create different sections such as: upcoming workshops past conference events category-specific event listings seasonal event schedules The Pro version also includes a frontend Events Filter Bar that allows visitors to search and filter events directly from the page.
The shortcode attributes allow you to control both the number of events displayed and the order in which they appear. For example, you can: limit the number of events shown on a page sort events by date display events in ascending or descending order change how event dates are formatted These options allow you to create sections such as past events, upcoming schedules or featured event highlights.
Yes. The plugin uses event data generated by The Events Calendar plugin, which already includes structured event information. Search engines can recognize event details such as: event title event date and time event venue organizer information This structured data helps search engines better understand your event content and can improve how event pages appear in search results.
Yes. The Pro version of Events Shortcode plugin includes an Events Filter Bar feature that allows visitors to search and filter events directly on the page. Visitors can filter events by: event category event venue event organizer other available filters This feature is especially helpful for websites that publish many events, as it allows users to quickly find the events that interest them.
