Good evening Ronald and welcome back!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear about the struggles you are having with displaying the mini-calendar to your liking.
I would love to help you with this topic.
I would recommend reading the following article on the topic of including filters on non-tribe pages: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/understanding-the-tribe-events-bar/
Basically, to load any filter outside of the calendar “pages”, you will need to do some tweaking to your WordPress theme.
The good new is that we are currently working on expanding the way you can use our shortcodes to be able to do many things including embedding full calendars on pages.
Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point. But stay tuned!
Let me know if that helps.
Have a great day!
Geoff B.
