Events with image shortcode

[JN]

Hi there

I purchased the pro-version because of seeing the attached showcase. Now I’ve been on this all day. Your pro version overview before purchase promises shortcodes… then you read the readme.txt and you find the excerpt I put at the bottom of this post.

But if you are not a quitter you find some short codes on this site (it takes a while and is not easy, but it’s there). After even more digging I come across a forum post where you specifically say that what is in this showcase is not possible. This is of course confusing.

Therefore, before requesting the guaranteed 30-day refund – I would like to ask. Can I, or can I not use shortcodes for listing x-amount of events horizonally with the featured image?

I am VERY confused here. Overall, this is a very well made events plugin so that’s not the issue. I just don’t think I can use it.

No, this plugin does not use a shortcode nor is one available at the time being.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out! I’m sorry about all the confusion here…I’m glad you’re liking the plugin otherwise though!

You can absolutely use shortcodes with Events Calendar Pro. We have widget shortcodes and shortcodes to display full calendar views. I believe what you are looking for here is the [tribe_events view=”photo”] shortcode, which will display your events horizontally with the featured image. There is not currently an option to set a limit for the number of posts within the shortcode, however, you can do this by adding the code found in this post to your functions.php file of your child theme (let me know if you need help with this). You can change the $numberOfPostsInShortcode = 3; line to whatever number of posts you would like.

If limiting the events in shortcodes is a feature you would like to see added in the future, we would really appreciate your vote here in our Feature Ideas forum! We use it to gauge user interest in features and help plan future development activity.

I hope that clears up the confusion! Please let me know if you have any questions on this!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
