How to use The Events Calendar Shortcode

You can use the shortcode or block to add a list of your events, filtered by various options. Here’s an example of how you’d show the next 8 events in the category festival:

[ecs-list-events cat="festival" limit="8"]

You can also filter the shortcode to choose from the following options:

• Category: show events from specific categories.
• Number of events: choose the number of events to show.
• Event order: Order in which your events are shown (latest first or last).
• Event dates: Show or hide the date.
• Event venue: Show or hide the venue.
• Event excerpt: Show or hide the event excerpt, and set an excerpt length.
• Thumbnail: Show or hide a thumbnail image.
• View all events link: Choose whether to include a “view all events” link or not.
• Events from a specific month: show only events from specific months (including current or next month).
• Previous events: Show previous events.
• Hide started events: Hide events when their start time passes.

This gives you full control over how your events are displayed, and is perfect for non-profits, charities, businesses, conferences, and anyone with a WordPress website showing events.

You’ll find a full list of how to use these options in the shortcode below in the plugin’s FAQs.
