Flexible event displays for WordPress
Events Shortcodes Pro extends The Events Calendar with additional ways to place and present event listings throughout your website. It supports shortcodes, a dedicated Gutenberg events block, and a Bricks Builder Events component, giving you several practical methods for adding event content to pages, posts, landing pages, widgets, or custom sections.
The Pro edition is designed for websites that need more than a basic list. It adds interactive layouts, advanced filtering, and display controls that help you organize event information for schedules, program pages, category sections, homepage highlights, and archive-style content.
Advanced layouts for different page designs
Choose a layout that suits the content area and the way visitors need to browse your events. Pro includes a Grid layout for structured event cards, a Carousel for sliding event showcases, and a Slider for featured event highlights. Masonry provides a flexible grid arrangement, while Accordion presents event listings in a compact expandable format. Calendar-style displays offer a schedule-focused view, and highlighted layouts help give selected events more visual emphasis.
The plugin also includes list, timeline, and minimal list styles. These formats can be useful when you want a straightforward schedule, a chronological sequence, or a compact listing for a smaller section of a page.
Filtering and display controls
Events Shortcodes Pro includes an advanced frontend filter bar so visitors can search and narrow event listings directly on the page. Available filtering options include categories, venues, organizers, and other available filters. This is useful for sites that publish many events or present multiple programs and locations.
You can also filter event content by date range or event status, including future events, past events, or all event archives. Shortcode controls allow you to select event categories, set the number of displayed events, choose ascending or descending order, and select a date format. Additional display settings include options such as venue visibility, time selection, and social sharing where supported by the listing configuration.
Use it with your preferred editor
For shortcode-based workflows, add the Events Calendar shortcode to the required content area and adjust its attributes for the desired category, layout, dates, order, and limit. In the WordPress editor, insert the Events block and configure the event display settings from the block panel. If you build with Bricks, add the dedicated Events component to a page or template and customize the listing visually without writing shortcode attributes or custom code.
