The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Pro

The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Pro places events from The Events Calendar Plugin by StellarWP, formerly Modern Tribe, in WordPress content. The calendar extension must be installed and contain events.

Choose a display and placement

Add an event listing with a shortcode, the WordPress block, an Elementor widget, or a Bricks element. Pro includes seven designs, such as a calendar view, compact and column-based layouts, and events grouped by day. For a custom presentation, use Shortcode Variables or templates. You can place multiple shortcodes on one page with various options, and the extension works with any WordPress theme.

For example, this shortcode displays up to eight events in the festival category: [ecs-list-events cat="festival" limit="8"].

Filter which events appear

Set listings to show events from selected categories or tags, a particular month or year, a specific day or date range, or events happening within the next number of days. You can filter by location using a city, state, or country, and show only featured events.

• Include previous events or conceal events after their start time.
• Hide recurring events to show only the first instance.
• Use the full event description instead of an excerpt.
• Show only an event’s start time.

Set details and user controls

Choose whether to show dates, venues, thumbnails, excerpts, and a link to view all events. You can change the order of event details, add pagination for browsing additional pages, and enable a filter bar so visitors can narrow the listing by available settings such as category, location, or venue.

Install and configure

First, make sure The Events Calendar Plugin is installed on your WordPress website and has events. Install and activate The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Pro, then add a listing using the placement method that fits your editing process. Configure its design, filters, visible details, and visitor controls, then preview the page and adjust the settings. Pro includes premium support for plugin questions.
