Display upcoming events on non WP homepage?

[John Fradella]

I have installed the event calendar on https://www.hawaiidiscount.com/events/ but my homepage is http://www.hawaiidiscount.com which is not WordPress? Is there a way to display thee upcoming event widget on my homepage if it is not WP?
Thanks!

Good evening John and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

Is there a way to display thee upcoming event widget on my homepage if it is not WP?

That is a great question.

The short answer is that you could probably achieve that with some coding or the use of an iframe in your non-WordPress website.

Unfortunately, it is slightly outside of the scope of the support we can provide for our plugin.

With that in mind, I would:

• Read on how to use iFrames on an HTML site
• Give the following a shot: http://www.web-source.net/embedding_web_pages.htm#.V39JApMrI6s

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Thanks for this reply Geoff.
I can do iftame but I have a question about [tribe_events_list] shortcode. Where in WP do I need to put this so it works correctly. For example I created new page https://www.hawaiidiscount.com/events/upcoming-events/ using this shortcode but it doesn’t work. Thanks!

I also read this article https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-the-calendar-widget/ but there is no Event Calendar widget available in my widget area. How can I add it?

There is only Event List which works only if it is added in the sidebar – see here https://www.hawaiidiscount.com/events/upcoming-events/

In this case the Event List is the only thing that the template shows. Above you can see the shortcode for [tribe_mini_calendar] which doesn’t work. Basically no shortcodes work for me. What’s wrong?

Good evening John,

Thanks for writing back.

Where in WP do I need to put this so it works correctly. For example I created new page https://www.hawaiidiscount.com/events/upcoming-events/ using this shortcode but it doesn’t work. Thanks!

That’s a great question.

Shortcodes come as a feature for customers using the Events Calendar Pro: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/.

There is unfortunately no shortcodes built-in in the Events Calendar free or in Community Events.
This is why they have not been working on your site so far.

But there is also the following third-party plugin that is available for free: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/

I also read this article https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-the-calendar-widget/ but there is no Event Calendar widget available in my widget area. How can I add it?

Those extra widgets are also a part of the Events Calendar Pro : https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/

So in short, it sounds like you might be a prime candidate for our Pro add-on.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hi Geoff, I am already a PRO member and if you wish I can provide you with my License Key. That being said, I come back to what I already said – the shortcodes dont work for me.

Ok I see that what we have is actually the Community Events plugin, not the PRO. Will discuss this with team members and decide if we get pro. Thanks.
