Hey @adventuresneo,
Sorry to hear you’re still having issues. I’m also sorry to admit to relay that the best step from here would be to run through our full set of troubleshooting steps, which are outlined here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/
Those steps may seem tedious, but truly are not and are faster to go through than it may seem. They’re also essential for revealing or ruling out possible theme or plugin conflicts, which seem very likely here if neither the shortcode or the Events List widget are working correctly.
Let us know if you run through those steps, and if so, what you find by doing them.
Thank you!
George
