Are there example of the exact syntax – how to use these shortcode arguments?

From this page: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/#common-to-all

“Common arguments

Whichever shortcode you opt for, you can always make use of these additional arguments:

before_widget
before_title
title
after_title
after_widget

These are, hopefully, pretty self-explanatory and often will not be required when you use shortcodes – but they are there if you need them.”

Hey @Th,

Thanks for reaching out. Those shortcode arguments work the same as any other, so in this sort of format:

before_widget=""

Now, what you put between the quotes there simply gets displayed in certain places depending on the argument.

So let’s say you have this shortcode:

[tribe_events_list before_widget="here are some events!"]

Well, then the text “here are some events!” will display before the widget:

A title argument adds a title; before_title and after_title add strings before and after the title; and so on.

If you’re curious how they all work, I recommend putting a widget shortcode in a sample page, and just tinkering around a bit, experimenting with the different attributes. It’s the best way to see what they do.

I hope this information helps,
George
