Overview
Event shortcodes can be fiddly to set up by hand. You pick a skin, adjust options, paste the result into a page and hope it looks right. This plugin moves that work into Elementor, where you build the shortcode visually and see the changes as you make them. You can try different shortcode styles and filters before anything goes live.
Once the shortcode is in place, you can adjust how it looks and what it shows. Typography, element visibility and custom CSS are all in your hands, and you can add a search bar with its own fields to an event display. It suits event managers, marketers and web developers who already use Modern Events Calendar and want more control over how events appear. Paired with Modern Events Calendar Pro, shortcode usage has no limit.
Features
- Real-time visual builder: Build and modify shortcodes inside Elementor and see changes as you go, so you can check how an event display looks before you publish it.
- Use shortcodes anywhere: Add and configure shortcodes on any part of your website, with multiple skins and types available to match the design of your site.
- Search bar integration: Place a search bar with customizable search fields directly inside a shortcode, so visitors can find events from the display itself.
- Show or hide elements: Toggle the visibility of individual shortcode components to keep the event presentation clean and relevant to what your visitors need.
- Typography controls: Set fonts, sizes, colors and spacing across all shortcode elements to keep event displays consistent with the rest of your branding.
- Custom CSS styles: Add your own CSS to fine-tune details of your event shortcodes, from the distance between elements to hover effects.
- Featured image resolution option: Control the resolution of the featured image shown in your event displays, so images fit the layout you have designed.
- Unlimited use with MEC Pro: When paired with Modern Events Calendar Pro, you can use shortcodes without limits across your site.
