Events list widget on Pro

[Dick Pepper]

Hi, would you mind taking a look at my page and telling me if Events Calendar can duplicate (and obviously improve) the way we are displaying our events now? We show events on the homepage and repeat them on a Meetings page. Ideally we’d like to show events and then hide them once time has passed. We sometimes have to add notes to events as well that should display.

Hey there, and thanks for getting in touch!

Do you happen to have a URL you can share that I can use to look at your events? I may be missing it somewhere, but wasn’t able to see one in your thread.

Thanks!
Geoff

Sorry Geoff, the url is http://orthomeetings.com. There is a list on homepage and a larger meeting page list. We also have a couple of other calendars that are currently done as a PDF that I’d like to look at redoing.
One thing I couldn’t find in documentation – can you make an event hide once date has passed? Or perhaps on homepage using widget, only show upcoming events?

Thanks so much for the link!

I really do think that The Events Calendar will not only be a suitable replacement for the events you are managing on the site now, but an improvement as well. The base plugin is actually free and probably will do everything you need without any of the premium add-ons:

The Events Calendar

Right out of the box, The Events Calendar has both a Month View and a List View that you can switch between. The list view is sort of like what is on your site now, but with a bit more flair and design. Month View looks like your standard calendar, with a full month grid.

If you’re looking for more features, like advanced widgets to embed on other pages and posts (like your homepage), then I would suggest Events Calendar PRO to run alongside The Events Calendar, but that may be unnecessary depending on your needs. 🙂

can you make an event hide once date has passed? Or perhaps on homepage using widget, only show upcoming events?

Events that have passed will automatically be filed away into an archive of other past events that is located at: [your-site]/events/past. The calendar’s List View and Event List widget (both included in the free base plugin) will only display what is upcoming.

Does that sound like what you’re looking for? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there!

I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but defintely let us know if any other questions come up and we’d be more than happy to help.

Cheers and hope you had a great weekend!
