Insert calendar on page using shortcode

[Kathryn]

Hello, I’m using the Events Calendar Pro here: http://www.littlefoxwebdesignnewbuilds.co.uk/ripleyrascals/events/ and you can also view the two Events categories here: http://www.littlefoxwebdesignnewbuilds.co.uk/ripleyrascals/events/category/lifesaving/ and here: http://www.littlefoxwebdesignnewbuilds.co.uk/ripleyrascals/events/category/competitive-swimming/. I need to password protect all three views of the calendar so could you tell me how I can either password protection those permalinks/categories or can I insert each calendar as a shortcode into a normal page and then I can password protect the page?

Many thanks!

Kathryn

Hey Kathryn,

Thanks for reaching out.

There unfortunately isn’t a way to password-protect those specific links you shared unless you were to add a Content Restriction plugin to your site, like Restrict Content.

As for inserting calendar views via shortcode, this is unfortunately not possible at this time but WILL be possible in our very next release of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro, version 4.3.

We are planning on launching version 4.3 in early October—so, very soon!

For now, the only ways to insert calendar content into posts or pages is to use the methods described here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/inserting-calendar-content-posts-pages/

Please let me know what you think of all this and what other questions you might have!

Hi George

Okay that’s great thanks – I’ll perhaps use a plugin for now and then update the Events Calendar when the new version is released so that I can insert calendars via shortcode instead which I think would be a cleaner way of doing it.

Thanks for your help!

Sounds good, Kathryn. Thanks for your follow-up here.

Stay tuned to http://theeventscalendar.com/blog for release news—the new versions are coming soon!

And if issues or questions ever arise, open a new thread any time.

For now: best of luck with your project! 😀
