Overview
The plugin helps site owners choose how event information appears across their website. Use shortcodes to add event displays to posts, pages, widgets, or custom post types, then select from layouts such as lists, grids, calendars, and sliders. Its templates give event pages a consistent presentation that can be adjusted to fit the site’s design.
Events Shortcodes Pro works with The Events Calendar and lets you choose which event details to show, including dates, categories, venues, and custom fields. You can adjust date and time formats, colors, fonts, and layouts, and filter events by date, category, venue, or organizer. It also supports recurring events and countdowns for upcoming events.
