It&#8217;s also entirely possible I&#8217;m doing something wrong, as this is Day 1 for me working with the Pro plugin.<\/p>\n<p>On this page: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/pro-widget-shortcodes\/<\/p>\n<p>It says I can access a list of events using the &#8220;tribe_events_list&#8221; shortcode (I&#8217;m not using the proper [ symbol )<\/p>\n<p>Which I got going, but when I went to modify it, it was showing ALL the categories, not just the ones I asked for.  Here&#8217;s the actual shortcode I used:<\/p>\n<p><code>[tribe_events_list categories=&quot;misc, mens, womens, childrens\u201c limit=&quot;6&quot;]<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The problem is that it&#8217;s showing ALL the categories.  There are two other categories besides the one in the example here (Bible Study &amp; Services)  Bible Study doesn&#8217;t currently have any entries, but services does.  If I understand the docs right, that shortcode above should NOT show items from the others not explicitly listed, but it is for &#8220;services&#8221;.   Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem?<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, I thought about using the &#8220;Upcoming Events&#8221; widget, but you only let me pick ONE category in the dropdown.  It would be far more useful to let me choose what is in there, vs just one.  That&#8217;s the reason I was trying to use the shortcode solution, which either isn&#8217;t working right, or I did something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The first two on the attached screenshot are from the &#8220;services&#8221; event category, and in theory shouldn&#8217;t be on this list.  (I used this screen capture in another post I just made &#8211; but I did read your documents about making multiple requests in a single message, so I didn&#8217;t. )<\/p>\n<p>This is a church, and I bought the Pro for repeating, regular events.  But i don&#8217;t want those repeating Sunday services to show up on the events list &#8211; everyone knows about those (plus they&#8217;ll clog the list) &#8211; they&#8217;ll just be on the calendar\/events page.  <\/p>\n<p>Please note that you cannot see this version of the site. If you go to it, you\u2019ll see an old version that doesn\u2019t use this plugin or theme. I\u2019m constructing it on a private server, and would require you to change the hosts file on your machine to see it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1120489","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Calendar Pro Shortcode Problem -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/calendar-pro-shortcode-problem\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Calendar Pro Shortcode Problem -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Getting things set up, and I believe I found a problem.
