Events to Homepage

[George Smith]

I would like to display two latest events from two categories, one from each category, on my homepage. The look I want is similar to the photo view.

I tried the following shortcode

[tribe_events view=”photo” limit=”1″ category=”upcoming-events”]

The thing is the there is no limitation if you use tribe_events. Also, one of the articles you published mentioned that two shortcodes cannot be used with tribe_events.

I am not sure how to achieve what I want. Ideally, if I could generate two shortcodes similar to below would help

[tribe_events view=”photo” limit=”1″ category=”academic”]
[tribe_events view=”photo” limit=”1″ category=”sport”]

I very much appreciate your answers/suggestions.

Thank you.

Good afternoon George and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

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

There are a couple of things you could do.
The simplest idea would be to create a new category called home-page.

This will let you hand pick what events you are promoting. The downside being that you will need to manually update it. That is unless you make all of the events from those categories also in the new category.

Another idea worth exploring is tweaking the widget list view for your home page.
This can be achieved with CSS which would get you a look that is very close to the photo view.

The upside of this is that widget shortcodes offer way more options: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
