    171207== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    172208
    173 = What is Events Shortcodes for The Events Calendar plugin? =
    174 Events Shortcodes is an addon for [The Events Calendar](https://stellarwp.pxf.io/tec) plugin that lets you display events anywhere on your website using a shortcode or Gutenberg block. You can show events in list, timeline, or minimal list layouts created using The Events Calendar plugin.
    175 
    176 = How do I display events using a shortcode? =
    177 You can display events by adding the shortcode to any page, post, or widget area.
     209= Does The Events Calendar support shortcodes by default? =
     210No. The free version of events plugin does not provide built-in shortcodes to display events inside regular WordPress pages or posts.
     211
     212By 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.
     213
     214For example, you may want to display:
     215
     216* upcoming events on the homepage 
     217* a small events list in the sidebar 
     218* event schedules inside blog posts 
     219* event sections on landing pages 
     220* category-based event lists 
     221
     222This 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.
     223
     224= How can I display The Events Calendar events list using a shortcode? =
     225You can easily display an events list by placing the shortcode on any page, post or widget area.
    178226
    179227Example shortcode:
     228
    180229`[events-calendar-templates category="all" template="default" style="style-1" limit="10" order="ASC" time="future"]`
    181230
    182 You can customize layout, category, date range, sorting, and more using shortcode attributes.
    183 
    184 = Can I use Events Shortcodes with the Gutenberg block editor? =
    185 Yes. The plugin includes a dedicated Events Block for Gutenberg. 
    186 Just search for “Events Block” while editing a page and configure event display settings from the block panel.
    187 
    188 = What event layouts are available in the free version? =
    189 The free version includes:
    190 
    191 * [Events List layout](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/shortcode/events-list/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=demo_list&utm_content=faq)

    207 
    208 = Can I filter events by category, date, or event type? =
    209 Yes. You can filter events using shortcode options like:
    210 
    211 * Event category
    212 * Date range
    213 * Upcoming, past, or all events
    214 
    215 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) for advanced event searching.
    216 
    217 = Can I control event order and number of events displayed? =
    218 Yes. You can:
    219 
    220 * Sort events by date (ASC or DESC)
    221 * Limit the number of events shown
    222 * Choose custom date formats
    223 
    224 All these options are available inside the shortcode attributes and settings panel.
    225 
    226 = Is Events Shortcodes compatible with Elementor and Divi? =
    227 We suggest using dedicated addons for Elementor and Divi builders:
    228 
    229 * For Elementor, you can use [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) addon.
    230 
    231 * For Divi, you can use [Events Calendar Modules for Divi](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/plugin/the-events-calendar-modules-for-divi/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=faq).
     231Once the shortcode is added, WordPress will automatically render a list of events created with The Events Calendar plugin.
     232
     233The shortcode includes several attributes that allow you to control how the events appear on the page. For example, you can customize:
     234
     235* number of events displayed 
     236* event order (ascending or descending) 
     237* event categories 
     238* layout style 
     239* event date range
     240
     241= How can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar on my homepage? =
     242To show **upcoming events**, simply place the shortcode provided by Events Shortcodes addon inside your homepage and use this parameter in your shortcode attribute:
     243
     244`time="future"`
     245
     246This 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.
     247
     248= How can I use The Events Calendar inside Gutenberg block editor pages? =
     249Events Shortcodes extension also includes a dedicated Gutenberg block that allows you to display events visually without writing shortcode manually.
     250
     251To use it:
     252
     2531. Open any page or post in the WordPress editor 
     2542. Click **Add Block (+)** 
     2553. Search for **Events Block** 
     2564. Insert the block into the page 
     2575. Configure event display options from the block settings panel 
     258
     259The 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.
     260
     261= What free layouts are available with the shortcode for The Events Calendar plugin? =
     262The free version of Events Shortcodes provides multiple layouts that allow you to display events in different visual formats.

     265
     266* **[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.

     271
     272These layouts allow you to present event information clearly while maintaining the visual style of your website.
     273
     274= How can I show events Grid or Carousel using The Events Calendar shortcode? =
     275The Pro version of Events Shortcodes plugin includes additional layouts designed for more dynamic event displays.

     282* Masonry layout for flexible event grids 
     283* Accordion layout for compact event lists

     289
     290= How can I filter The Events Calendar events by category, date or event type? =
     291The shortcode parameters allow you to filter events in many ways.
     292
     293You can display events based on:
     294
     295* event categories 
     296* specific date ranges 
     297* upcoming events 
     298* past events 
     299* all events 
     300
     301For example, you could create different sections such as:
     302
     303* upcoming workshops 
     304* past conference events 
     305* category-specific event listings 
     306* seasonal event schedules 
     307
     308The 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.
     309
     310= How can I control the number of events and events order in the shortcode? =
     311The shortcode attributes allow you to control both the number of events displayed and the order in which they appear.
     312
     313For example, you can:
     314
     315* limit the number of events shown on a page 
     316* sort events by date 
     317* display events in ascending or descending order 
     318* change how event dates are formatted 
     319
     320These options allow you to create sections such as past events, upcoming schedules or featured event highlights.
     321
     322= Does the shortcode support SEO-friendly schema markup for events? =
     323Yes. The plugin uses event data generated by The Events Calendar plugin, which already includes structured event information.
     324
     325Search engines can recognize event details such as:
     326
     327* event title 
     328* event date and time 
     329* event venue 
     330* organizer information 
     331
     332This structured data helps search engines better understand your event content and can improve how event pages appear in search results.
     333
     334= Can I add an events search and filter bar above the events list? =
     335Yes. 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.

     337Visitors can filter events by:
     338
     339* event category 
     340* event venue 
     341* event organizer 
     342* other available filters 
     343
     344This feature is especially helpful for websites that publish many events, as it allows users to quickly find the events that interest them.
     345
     346= How can I display events like Today Events or This Week Events using shortcode? =
     347You can customize shortcode parameters to display events based on specific date ranges.
     348
     349For example, you can create sections such as:
     350
     351* today’s events 
     352* this week’s events 
     353* upcoming events 
     354* past events 
     355
     356= Can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar in a sidebar widget area? =
     357Yes. 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.
     358
     359Simply 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.
     360
     361= How can I display featured events from The Events Calendar on homepage? =
     362The Pro version allows you to display **featured events only** using advanced shortcode filters.
     363
     364This is useful for highlighting important events such as:
     365
     366* conferences 
     367* webinars 
     368* workshops 
     369* community meetups 
     370
     371Featured events can be displayed on the homepage or landing pages to attract attention and promote important upcoming events.
     372
     373= Is Events Shortcodes plugin compatible with most WordPress themes? =
     374Yes. The plugin is designed to work with almost all modern WordPress themes because it uses shortcode and Gutenberg block output.
     375
     376It works well with popular themes such as:
     377
     378* Astra 
     379* GeneratePress 
     380* OceanWP 
     381* Kadence 
     382* Blocksy 
     383* Neve

     386
     387= Can I use Events Shortcodes with Elementor or Divi page builders? =

     389
     390* Elementor 
     391* Divi 
     392* Beaver Builder

    171207== Frequently Asked Questions ==
    172208
    173 = What is Events Shortcodes for The Events Calendar plugin? =
    174 Events Shortcodes is an addon for [The Events Calendar](https://stellarwp.pxf.io/tec) plugin that lets you display events anywhere on your website using a shortcode or Gutenberg block. You can show events in list, timeline, or minimal list layouts created using The Events Calendar plugin.
    175 
    176 = How do I display events using a shortcode? =
    177 You can display events by adding the shortcode to any page, post, or widget area.
     209= Does The Events Calendar support shortcodes by default? =
     210No. The free version of events plugin does not provide built-in shortcodes to display events inside regular WordPress pages or posts.
     211
     212By 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.
     213
     214For example, you may want to display:
     215
     216* upcoming events on the homepage 
     217* a small events list in the sidebar 
     218* event schedules inside blog posts 
     219* event sections on landing pages 
     220* category-based event lists 
     221
     222This 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.
     223
     224= How can I display The Events Calendar events list using a shortcode? =
     225You can easily display an events list by placing the shortcode on any page, post or widget area.
    178226
    179227Example shortcode:
     228
    180229`[events-calendar-templates category="all" template="default" style="style-1" limit="10" order="ASC" time="future"]`
    181230
    182 You can customize layout, category, date range, sorting, and more using shortcode attributes.
    183 
    184 = Can I use Events Shortcodes with the Gutenberg block editor? =
    185 Yes. The plugin includes a dedicated Events Block for Gutenberg. 
    186 Just search for “Events Block” while editing a page and configure event display settings from the block panel.
    187 
    188 = What event layouts are available in the free version? =
    189 The free version includes:
    190

    207

    209 Yes. You can filter events using shortcode options like:
    210 
    211 * Event category

    214 
    215 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) for advanced event searching.
    216

    219

    223 
    224 All these options are available inside the shortcode attributes and settings panel.
    225 
    226 = Is Events Shortcodes compatible with Elementor and Divi? =
    227 We suggest using dedicated addons for Elementor and Divi builders:
    228 
    229 * For Elementor, you can use [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) addon.
    230 
    231 * For Divi, you can use [Events Calendar Modules for Divi](https://eventscalendaraddons.com/plugin/the-events-calendar-modules-for-divi/?utm_source=ect_plugin&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=get_pro&utm_content=faq).
     231Once the shortcode is added, WordPress will automatically render a list of events created with The Events Calendar plugin.
     232
     233The shortcode includes several attributes that allow you to control how the events appear on the page. For example, you can customize:
     234
     235* number of events displayed 
     236* event order (ascending or descending) 
     237* event categories 
     238* layout style 
     239* event date range
     240
     241= How can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar on my homepage? =
     242To show **upcoming events**, simply place the shortcode provided by Events Shortcodes addon inside your homepage and use this parameter in your shortcode attribute:
     243
     244`time="future"`
     245
     246This 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.
     247
     248= How can I use The Events Calendar inside Gutenberg block editor pages? =
     249Events Shortcodes extension also includes a dedicated Gutenberg block that allows you to display events visually without writing shortcode manually.
     250
     251To use it:
     252
     2531. Open any page or post in the WordPress editor 
     2542. Click **Add Block (+)** 
     2553. Search for **Events Block** 
     2564. Insert the block into the page 
     2575. Configure event display options from the block settings panel 
     258
     259The 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.
     260
     261= What free layouts are available with the shortcode for The Events Calendar plugin? =

     266* **[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.

     273
     274= How can I show events Grid or Carousel using The Events Calendar shortcode? =
     275The Pro version of Events Shortcodes plugin includes additional layouts designed for more dynamic event displays.
     276
     277Available advanced layouts include:

     289
     290= How can I filter The Events Calendar events by category, date or event type? =
     291The shortcode parameters allow you to filter events in many ways.
     292
     293You can display events based on:
     294
     295* event categories 
     296* specific date ranges 
     297* upcoming events 
     298* past events 
     299* all events 
     300
     301For example, you could create different sections such as:
     302
     303* upcoming workshops 
     304* past conference events 
     305* category-specific event listings 
     306* seasonal event schedules 
     307
     308The 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.
     309
     310= How can I control the number of events and events order in the shortcode? =
     311The shortcode attributes allow you to control both the number of events displayed and the order in which they appear.
     312
     313For example, you can:
     314
     315* limit the number of events shown on a page 
     316* sort events by date 
     317* display events in ascending or descending order 
     318* change how event dates are formatted 
     319
     320These options allow you to create sections such as past events, upcoming schedules or featured event highlights.
     321
     322= Does the shortcode support SEO-friendly schema markup for events? =
     323Yes. The plugin uses event data generated by The Events Calendar plugin, which already includes structured event information.
     324
     325Search engines can recognize event details such as:
     326
     327* event title 
     328* event date and time 
     329* event venue 
     330* organizer information 
     331
     332This structured data helps search engines better understand your event content and can improve how event pages appear in search results.
     333
     334= Can I add an events search and filter bar above the events list? =
     335Yes. 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.
     336
     337Visitors can filter events by:
     338
     339* event category 
     340* event venue 
     341* event organizer 
     342* other available filters 
     343
     344This feature is especially helpful for websites that publish many events, as it allows users to quickly find the events that interest them.
     345
     346= How can I display events like Today Events or This Week Events using shortcode? =
     347You can customize shortcode parameters to display events based on specific date ranges.
     348
     349For example, you can create sections such as:
     350
     351* today’s events 
     352* this week’s events 
     353* upcoming events 
     354* past events 
     355
     356= Can I show upcoming events from The Events Calendar in a sidebar widget area? =
     357Yes. 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.
     358
     359Simply 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.
     360
     361= How can I display featured events from The Events Calendar on homepage? =
     362The Pro version allows you to display **featured events only** using advanced shortcode filters.
     363
     364This is useful for highlighting important events such as:
     365
     366* conferences 
     367* webinars 
     368* workshops 
     369* community meetups 
     370
     371Featured events can be displayed on the homepage or landing pages to attract attention and promote important upcoming events.
     372
     373= Is Events Shortcodes plugin compatible with most WordPress themes? =
     374Yes. The plugin is designed to work with almost all modern WordPress themes because it uses shortcode and Gutenberg block output.
     375
     376It works well with popular themes such as:
     377
     378* Astra 
     379* GeneratePress 
     380* OceanWP 
     381* Kadence 
     382* Blocksy 
     383* Neve 
     384
     385It can also be used with custom WordPress themes developed by agencies or developers.
     386
     387= Can I use Events Shortcodes with Elementor or Divi page builders? =
     388Yes. Because the plugin uses shortcode and block output, it works with most WordPress page builders including:
     389
     390* Elementor 
     391* Divi 
     392* Beaver Builder 
     393* WPBakery 
     394
     395For deeper integration with specific builders, you can use dedicated addons:
     396
     397* **[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)**
