Can event calender pro do this?

[Stuart Alleyne]

So we’re currently using the free version of event calendar with the venue X theme. This allows us to put different calendars on different pages for display. Please take a look at the provided website link.

Before I pose my question let me explain the set up.
1) On the home page are events open to the public. This is driven by an event category.
2) On the calendar page is the default event page generated by Events Calendar.
3) Under Education>performances for young adults>School-time performance schedule, is the listing for School time performances. Again driven by a category.

My question is, If we purchase the pro version can we have the front page and School-time event list look like how it is on those pages? Additionaly will those listings auto update based on when shows expire?

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately the link to your site didn’t come through, so I am not able to see how your events look now. However, the Pro version only builds on the free version of the Events Calendar and adds additional features (it does not replace it), so you should be able to keep the look that you currently have. In other words, you would not lose anything you have with the free version by upgrading to Pro.

To answer your second question, it depends on the view. List views typically do not show past events by default, while month views do show them but in gray to indicate that they are over. With Pro, you get many more options for displaying different views around your site, including by date and category. I would recommend taking a look at this article for displaying event widgets with shortcodes and this article for displaying full calendar views on different pages of your site.

Your current styling should be safe with the upgrade, but if you’d like to try sending the link to your site again, I will be happy to take a look for you!
