Limit Photo View widget to 3 events

[J Robert McKinney]

I am trying to do the exact same thing as this person by limiting the photo view widget to 3 events:

Limit amount of events on a home page

In that post, it says its possible. However, the shortcode [tribe_events view=”photo” limit=”3″] does not work for me. If I switch it to list view it works. But it does not limit the events in photo view. You can see under “Upcoming Events” that it’s not working on my dev site: http://webserver.yorklibraries.org/

Any reason why that shortcode doesn’t work in photo view?

Good evening J Robert and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

As far as I know, the full view shortcodes do not support the “limit=” argument for now: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/

That argument is only available for widgets: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

With that in mind, there are a couple ways to work around that:

1. Use an event category (e.g.: homepage) that you will add to your shortcode. Once that is done, only assign 3 events to that category
2. Try adding the following CSS rule to your style.css file or in your Custom CSS metabox:
   .home .type-tribe_events+.type-tribe_events+.type-tribe_events+.type-tribe_events {display: none !important;}

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
