Embedding calendars within pages

[Nigel Ball]

Hi

Seriously considering your pro plugin but struggling with how to integrate into my site, I’m still new to wordpress. I want to be able to add different views of the calendar on different pages. As an example, I want to add something like your showcase (https://theeventscalendar.com/showcase/medspeaks/) to a page only displaying training events for our volunteers. However I need to add information before the calendar on the page. I would like to do this on a number of different pages, each with different categories/calendars and different wording before and/or after the calendar. How can I achieve this? It’s not clear from the shortcode information I’ve found on your site. The instructions for templates I’ve read also only seem to be overriding the exiting versions and even then it’s not ideal as I’ve never written php and want to keep management of the site as simple as possible for volunteers who’s may have to manage it after me.

Hey Nigel,

Thanks for reaching out, and for your interest in our plugins!

This is unfortunately not possible with our plugins at this time:

I want to be able to add different views of the calendar on different pages.

A simple template modification is unfortunately not enough to facilitate the addition of the calendar views on other pages. At this time, the plugins only support having the main calendar views at one location. 🙁

The closest thing we have is the set of widgets that come with Events Calendar Pro. The “Mini Calendar” widget is similar to the “month” view, for example—but not quite the same. To learn more about these widgets, check out this page here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/events-calendar-widgets/

The Pro widgets can also be displayed via shortcode, as described on this page ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

I hope this helps!
George
