Highlighted event (featured event)

[Christopher]

I would love to have the upcoming event listed on my homepage update automatically using the featured event function on the event setup. Can this be done with short code to pull the necessary information into the highlighted section?

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for getting in touch! I’m glad to hear you’re considering our plugins for your project and I hope they’re a great fit. 🙂

Good question and, yes, it is totally possible to (1) embed events on your homepage using a shortcode, (2) only display featured events in that list, and (3) have that list automatically updated.

There are a number of ways to go about it. For example, you could:

• Embed a full calendar view on the homepage and show only featured events.
• Embed an event widget on the homepage and show only featured events.
• Embed a single event on the homepage and include only the details you want.

Each one gives you a little different level of control for what you want to do, but you should be able to do exactly what you want with at least one of those options.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Thanks,
Geoff
