Pre sales questions – shortcodes / mobile

[Suzanne Heinrichs]

Hi there-

I had a few questions regarding Events Calendar Pro. I am working on a non-profit website where the team is interested in embedding the calendar into a wordpress page. The theme we are using leverages the “featured” tag and featured image to display in the homepage carousel.

My questions:
– Will using a shortcode require a lot of styling?
– Is it possible to display the full calendar as you’d see it on the “events” page with a shortcode? Or is it a less functional version?

On a separate topic – When using the community events plugin, is a user able to submit an event on a mobile device?

And one last question — is it possible to display a category of event in the main RSS feed?

Thank you very much,
Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for your interest in Events Calendar PRO! I’d be more than happy to take the time to answer these questions for you. 🙂

• Our shortcodes, like all of our other plugin views, are designed to integrate with your existing theme architecture as seamlessly as possible without needing additional styling. That said, shortcode-generated code uses CSS-friendly markup and can be easily re-styled using stylesheet tweaks if you should need to make any changes.
• Absolutely! You can display custom full-size calendar views on any post or page using the [tribe_events] shortcode in Events Calendar PRO. You can read more about this shortcode and how to use it on our Knowledgebase here!
• Our Community Events plugin uses responsive styling for our event submission forms, so users should be able to submit events using mobile devices.
• By default, events are only displayed on the separate RSS feed for their post type, but you can have events listed on your site’s main RSS feed, if you’d like–this Knowledgebase article provides all the info you should need to set this up.

I hope I was able to address all of your concerns here! 🙂 Thanks again, and let me know if there’s anything else I can assist with!
