Display Event List on Page

[Ben]

I at gone through all the topics and can’t find a discussion about this in a way that I understand. I simply want to display a list of “x” number of events on a page.. specifically my home page. Isn’t there some way to do this?
If so, could you explain it in a remedial way that a novice like me could understand?

Thank you

Hi Ben,

There are a few ways to do this. One way would be to use our Events List widget. That’s going to be the easiest as it doesn’t involve inserting any code. The other options all involve creating a custom query. You can create a custom query by using either our built in query function: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-general-functions/#functiontribe_get_events or using WP_Query: https://gist.github.com/jo-snips/4447338

You can insert the query code directly into your theme’s template files somewhere like in header.php, page.php, sidebar.php, etc. Or, you could also create a custom page template as instructed here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates and insert one of the query code examples into the template. Then you can assign that template to any page and have it display your events on the page.

I hope that helps!

Jonah,

Is it possible to output the total number of upcoming events like “Upcoming Events 100”? Like this site: http://www.pacificstandardtimepresents.org/calendar/

I figured it out using:
$count_posts = wp_count_posts(‘tribe_events’);
echo $count_posts->publish;
