Filters

[TimChase]

Hello
I’m building an events company website and the client specifically wants the following:

• Events displayed in a grid view (I guess your ‘Picture view’)
• Filter events by:
– event date
– Event category (sport, music, etc)
– Venue
– date asc and desc.

Can I do this with the EC Pro and Filter bar plugins?
How easy is it to style to the site design?

Many thanks!

Hi Tim,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

Events Calendar Pro does come with photo view, which is similar to a grid. Between the default search bar and Filter Bar, you can filter events by start date, category, and venue, but unfortunately there is not an out of the box way to change between ascending and descending date views.

You could potentially accomplish that with a bit of code customization. While we are currently unable to provide such customizations, we do have a themer’s guide with great info on customizing our plugins. As a premium license holder, you would also have access to our premium support forums, where we are always happy to answer questions and help point you in the right direction.

Regarding styling, we do offer a few settings under Appearance > Customize > The Events Calendar. These are mostly colors, and also the ability to change the pin for map view. Otherwise, you can always use CSS, but the display will vary depending on your theme. We do have some guidelines on theme compatibility, and we also have settings under Events > Settings > Display > Default stylesheet used for events templates that let you choose between 3 stylesheets, depending on how much you would like your theme to influence the styles for events pages. You can see this setting in the free version as well, The Events Calendar.

I would definitely recommend taking a look at wpshindig.com to see Pro and Filter Bar in action! Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,

Jennifer
