Hi there,<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to purchase the Pro Edition of the calendar ASAP (and await, fingers crossed the inclusion of an iCal auto sync solution) but before purchasing, I’ve been trialling the Demo to ensure it’s fit for my requirement.<\/p>\n

The first requirement was for the calendar to display individual category content. I’ve achieved this by allowing a different url (URL\/calendar\/category\/*categoryname*\/) for each category.<\/p>\n

I now need to embed each one within the website – as per this screen;<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, in the absence of shortcodes, despite literally hours of searching and reading, all proposed solutions are too technical for me. If someone could kindly explain how to insert this calendar (showing selected individual categories) into a pre existing page, I’d be massively grateful. The existing documentation is way over my head and I’d need a novice guide – I’m sure it would be very well received for others like me. I’ll purchase the very second I can see the calendar on an existing page.<\/p>\n

If I can’t work it out I’ll reluctantly have to revert back to time.ly’s solution *shudders.<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-73130","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nShortcode Alternative -<\/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\/shortcode-alternative\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Shortcode Alternative -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi there, I’m hoping to purchase the Pro Edition of the calendar ASAP (and await, fingers crossed the inclusion of an iCal auto sync solution) but before purchasing, I’ve been trialling the Demo to ensure it’s fit for my requirement.
