the events calendar Pro + Weekly view + on homepage

[Linda]

Hi,

I’m now trying to add the calendar to my homepage, in weekly view. The problem is that it’s not possible, in any way I try to. I can see the right calendar on the ‘events page’, but I can’t add it to my homepage.

Do you have any options? It’s not a problem if it’s a php solution, as long as it appears on my homepage.

Kind regards,
Linda

Hey @Linda,

Because of the way The Events Calendar works you can’t really pull of having the events calendar on a homepage of a site, unfortunately 🙁

It might be possible with some extensive code customization that we wouldn’t be able to help with, or with some method of just redirecting users to /events on your site so that it essentially acts like the homepage.

I’m sorry about this; we’re working on better solutions for this because many people have been requesting this, but unfortunately at this time the only way to really get events showing well on a homepage is with our Widgets 🙁

Please let me know what you think and if there’s anything else I can help with Linda – thank you!

As a work around I am testing out the plugin “amr shortcode any widget”. This allows me to add the calendar sidebar widget directly on the page which seems to work well. Unfortunately I can’t provide a link since I am still testing in a local server environment. It would be great to hear other solutions and especially if a native solution can be found because we have constantly changing events which I need to show on the homepage.

Hey @bunyaadrugs,

Thanks for chiming in here. It’s not quite clear from your post if you’re referring to the exact same things as @linda or not, but in any case, I will be closing up this thread for now since our code doesn’t support Linda’s original question 🙁

Sorry to disappoint about that limitation!

Best of luck with both of your sites 😀

George
