Styling of calendar

[Birgitte]

Hi guys, a couple of questions

– Where to start if I want to style my calendar like this one?

– Also – how can I get this image view by shortcode? (Want it on my frontpage)

– How to integrate my WordPress header / footer etc. in the calender view page (the page does not exist in pages?)

Thanks a lot

Good evening Birgitte and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to answer these questions.

– Where to start if I want to style my calendar like this one?

It depends what part of that style you want to replicate (since this is a customized theme). But a good first step would be to use the Photo view to display your calendar.

Perhaps you could expand on what you like about that specific example ?

– Also – how can I get this image view by shortcode? (Want it on my frontpage)

Currently, unfortunately, you can’t do that built-in. You would need to do custom page template that includes the Photo view.

You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works. Or, as an alternative, you could hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

The good news is that we are currently working on enhancing our shortcodes, so stay tuned!

You could either:

1. Integrate that through your theme’s archive.php file (the default one used by our calendar)
2. Switch the setting found at Events -> Settings -> Display (look for Events template)

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
