### Events Shortcodes Plugin Features

   You can place an event feed inside posts, landing pages, or widgets without modifying
   your theme files.

   additional layouts such as grid, carousel, slider, accordion, and masonry views.

   as future events, past events, or all event archives. This allows you to create
   separate sections for upcoming schedules or previous event archives. You can

   and control how they appear on the page. You can sort events in ascending or

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Does The Events Calendar support shortcodes by default?

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.

### How can I display The Events Calendar events list using a shortcode?

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

### How can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar on my homepage?

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.

### How can I use The Events Calendar inside Gutenberg block editor pages?

Events Shortcodes extension also includes a dedicated Gutenberg block that allows
you to display events visually without writing shortcode manually.

To use it:

 1. Open any page or post in the WordPress editor
 2. Click **Add Block (+)**
 3. Search for **Events Block**
 4. Insert the block into the page
 5. 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.

### What free layouts are available with the shortcode for The Events Calendar plugin?

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](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/shortcode/events-list/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo_list&utm_content=faq)**–
   Displays events in a structured vertical list format that is ideal for schedules
   and announcements.
 * **[Events Timeline layout](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/shortcode/events-timeline/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo_timeline&utm_content=faq)**–
   Shows events in chronological order using a timeline design, which works well
   for highlighting sequences of activities.
 * **[Events Minimal List layout](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/shortcode/events-minimal-list/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo_minimal_list&utm_content=faq)**–
   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.

### How can I show events Grid or Carousel using The Events Calendar shortcode?

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

event showcases across your website.

### How can I filter The Events Calendar events by category, date or event type?

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](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/shortcode/filter-bar/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo_filterbar&utm_content=faq)**
that allows visitors to search and filter events directly from the page.

### How can I control the number of events and events order in the shortcode?

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.

### Does the shortcode support SEO-friendly schema markup for events?

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.

### Can I add an events search and filter bar above the events list?

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.

### How can I display events like Today Events or This Week Events using shortcode?

You can customize shortcode parameters to display events based on specific date 
ranges.

For example, you can create sections such as:

 * today’s events
 * this week’s events
 * upcoming events
 * past events

### Can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar in a sidebar widget area?

Yes. Since the plugin outputs events through shortcode, you can display event lists
inside WordPress sidebar widgets, footer widgets, or any widget area that supports
shortcodes.

Simply place the shortcode inside a shortcode widget or block widget, and the events
will automatically appear in that location. This is useful for displaying upcoming
events in the sidebar or footer.

### How can I display featured events from The Events Calendar on homepage?

The Pro version allows you to display **featured events only** using advanced shortcode
filters.

This is useful for highlighting important events such as:

 * conferences
 * webinars
 * workshops
 * community meetups

Featured events can be displayed on the homepage or landing pages to attract attention
and promote important upcoming events.

### Is Events Shortcodes plugin compatible with most WordPress themes?

Yes. The plugin is designed to work with almost all modern WordPress themes because
it uses shortcode and Gutenberg block output.

It works well with popular themes such as:

 * Astra
 * GeneratePress
 * OceanWP
 * Kadence
 * Blocksy
 * Neve

It can also be used with custom WordPress themes developed by agencies or developers.

### Can I use Events Shortcodes with Elementor or Divi page builders?

Yes. Because the plugin uses shortcode and block output, it works with most WordPress
page builders including:

 * Elementor
 * Divi
 * Beaver Builder
 * WPBakery

For deeper integration with specific builders, you can use dedicated addons:

 * **[Events Widgets for Elementor](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/plugin/events-widgets-pro/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=faq)**

Makes shortcodes so much easier to display. I’ve had to contact support in the past
for a plugin, but Vishali with Cool Plugins went above and beyond to help me out
with my issues. I highly suggest using their products.

### 󠀁[Block based](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/block-based/)󠁿

 [jdaniel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jdaniel/) 22 de Setembro, 2025

I used it several years ago. Now I needed it again for a client. The best thing:
It’s already block based with lot’s of customization. Great job, thanks! (It would
be perfect to be able to select custom fonts that are being added through Kadence
Custom Fonts plugin)
