Trusted by 20,000+ WordPress sites and a 4.6 star rating on WordPress.org, The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block is the solution you’ve been after 🙂
<h3>How to use The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block</h3>
You can use the shortcode or block to add a list of your events, filtered by various options. Here’s an example of how you’d show the next 8 events in the category festival:
<pre><code>[ecs-list-events cat="festival" limit="8"]
</code></pre>
With the WordPress block editor, just add a block and search for The Events Calendar Shortcode.
When editing a post or page with Elementor, you can add The Events Calendar Shortcode widget (under “General”) and customize the display options.
You can also filter the events in the shortcode and choose from the following options:
<ul>
<li>Category: show events from specific categories.</li>
<li>Number of events: choose the number of events to show.</li>
<li>Event order: Order in which your events are shown (latest first or last).</li>
<li>Event dates: Show or hide the date.</li>
<li>Event venue: Show or hide the venue.</li>
<li>Event excerpt: Show or hide the event excerpt, and set an excerpt length.</li>
<li>Event content details: Change the order the event details are displayed.</li>
<li>Thumbnail: Show or hide a thumbnail image.</li>
<li>View all events link: Choose whether to include a “view all events” link or not.</li>
<li>Events from a specific month: show only events from specific months (including current or next month).</li>
<li>Previous events: Show previous events.</li>
<li>Hide started events: Hide events when their start time passes.</li>
</ul>
This gives you full control over how your events are displayed, and is perfect for non-profits, charities, businesses, conferences, and anyone with a WordPress website showing events.
You’ll find a full list of how to use these options in the shortcode below in the plugin’s FAQs or <a href="https://eventcalendarnewsletter.com/events-calendar-shortcode-pro-options/?utm_source=wordpress.org&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=tecs-readme&utm_content=description" rel="nofollow ugc">on our documentation page</a>.

<h3>Why Use Event Single Page Builder with The Events Calendar?</h3>

Display all events from a specific venue on its own page, show all events by a particular organizer, or organize events by category in a clean and structured format using this powerful WordPress event plugin setup.
