Overview

Events pulled from a calendar plugin often look the same everywhere, and changing the layout usually means editing code. Events Shortcodes Pro addresses this with a set of shortcodes and templates you can adjust without coding. You pick a layout, choose which event details to show, and match the result to your site's branding.

The plugin offers lists, grids, countdowns, calendars and sliders, so one event source can appear in several forms. You decide how dates are formatted and whether categories, venues or custom fields are displayed. Because the output is a shortcode, you can place events in posts, pages, widgets or custom post types. It suits community listings, workshops, festivals and corporate event schedules.

Features

  • Wide range of shortcodes: Use shortcodes to place events in blog posts, pages, widgets or custom post types, so your schedule can appear wherever it makes sense on your site.
  • Multiple layout templates: Choose from responsive templates including lists, grids, calendars and sliders, then pick the one that fits the design of your website.
  • Works with The Events Calendar: The plugin is built to integrate with The Events Calendar, so the event data you already manage there can feed your shortcode layouts.
  • Filtering by event details: Filter events by date, category, venue or organizer, which lets visitors find the events that matter to them more quickly.
  • Customizable event details: Adjust date and time formats, colors, fonts and layouts, and choose which fields show, including categories, venues and custom fields.
  • Countdowns and recurring events: Display upcoming event countdowns and work with recurring events, giving visitors timely reminders about what is coming next.
  • Responsive display: Event layouts adapt to different screen sizes, so your schedule reads clearly on desktops, tablets and smartphones.

Best for

  • Sites already running The Events Calendar plugin
  • Community groups and organizations publishing event schedules
  • Agencies building custom event layouts without code
