Hi Patricia,
Regardless of whether you have the PRO version or not, you unfortunately cannot set the Events page as your home page. The reasons for this are technical: we use a method of sort-of “faking” the Events “page” so that the /events URL can exist on your site, but operates instead as more of a “feed” or “endpoint” for events. If that doesn’t make sense, it basically just makes it much easier/faster/smoother to have dates and all of our custom filtering to show events in various views and such.
However, the PRO version does have a Mini Calendar widget included in it that might be useful to you. This is basically a duplicate of the main calendar in terms of functionality, though it doesn’t look quite the same and is usually used in Sidebars. If you instead used the widget in a main content section of your site, and then used CSS to make it larger and look more like a “main” calendar instead of a widget, it may work well for you.
If you’re not familiar with CSS, or how to make widgetized areas in your theme, then unfortunately there is little that could be done here. I’m sorry to disappoint!
Please let us know if this helps and/or if you have any other questions or concerns 🙂
