I just want to display the next two events with their title and date. Shortcode?

[Anders]

Hi, I just want to display the next two upcoming events in a simple list with
1) the date and time and
2) the event title
from a specific category.

Doesn’t seem that hard, right?
A shortcode is perfectly acceptable. But I cannot find any shortcode that doesn’t give me a ton of extra stuff. Is there a simple and easy way to get this information. Any ideas?

Hello Anders

Can you add the following code to your child theme, or in Appearance » Customize » Additional CSS?
.tribe-mini-calendar-event .list-date {display: none !important;}

Then add

[tribe_events_list category="many-many-events" limit="2"]

to where you’d like the shortcode to appear.

Modify the name of the category to match one of your categories.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂

Thanks for the reply Courtney,

The shortcode you suggest still lists the featured image. While I am reluctantly ok with hiding the nicely formatted date through css, it’s not ok to load and then hide all the featured images.

Is there a way in the shortcode to exclude featured images from the shortcode?

If anyone else has the same problem, I gave up on the default shortcodes and installed a third party plugin that worked great for my needs. Even has a simple way to reorder the elements inside the shortcode.
