Overview

Modern Events Calendar gives you event listings, but changing how they look can mean working within fixed layouts. This addon moves that job into Elementor. You build a shortcode by dragging widgets and modules into place, then arrange them to match the rest of your site. Grid, list and calendar-style views are all possible.

Display settings sit alongside the design tools. You can set how many events appear, add a map view, and pick a simple view or a modal pop-up for event details. Shortcodes are managed much like the native Modern Events Calendar ones, which keeps changes straightforward. It suits sites that run anything from a small meetup to a large conference.

Features

  • Custom shortcode creation: Design your own event shortcodes with Elementor's drag-and-drop interface, so the layout of each event listing matches the look you want for your site.
  • Central settings page: Shortcode settings are gathered on one page, which makes it simpler to manage event display options and filters without hunting through separate screens.
  • Simple or modal display: Show event details in a clean simple view, or open them in a modal pop-up so visitors can read more without leaving the current page.
  • Full element placement control: Rearrange and reposition every element inside a shortcode to get the visual and functional order you prefer for your event listings.
  • Map above the event list: Add a map view above your events so visitors can quickly see where each event venue is located before browsing the list.
  • Event filter options: Configure filters to limit and tailor which events appear, giving visitors a more focused list of the events relevant to them.
  • Search with MEC fields: Include a search bar that works with all Modern Events Calendar fields, so visitors can find a specific event by the details they know.
  • Familiar shortcode management: Manage and adjust your shortcodes the same way you handle native Modern Events Calendar shortcodes, which keeps setup and later edits straightforward.
