Adding calendar to front page (Genesis – searched forums first)

[Tim]

Hi guys
I need to add a calendar to the front page of my site.

Where is the tutorial for this?

(it would be awesome if this was widgetized or shortcoded to allow drag and drop in Genesis layouts).

Hey Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Unfortunately we don’t have a shortcode for pulling the full calendar into your homepage layout. There are a couple of options you could pursue though:

1. We do have shortcodes that allow you to include the widgets wherever you would like. This includes the mini calendar widget which you could add to your homepage using [tribe_mini_calendar] shortcode.
2. You can try out the Event Rocket plugin. There is an option there that allows you to set the Calendar page as the front-page of your site using the Settings > Reading tab within your WordPress dashboard.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

that worked a treat, thanks.
Be handy if in the future, shortcoding was available…

Hey Tim,

No problem, happy to help.

I know we are continuing to further some of our shortcode support. I don’t know if or when we’ll have full shortcode support for the full calendar but it definitely is something on our radar.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new thread.

Thanks!
