About making a shortcut in Events+

With a shortcut I want to show all the event titles (linked te the eventpage) from a event category which I made (namely category “Germany” (cat ID =”31″:wink:. How should the shortcut look like and can I place it in a textfield of the WP texteditor) ThanX

    Hi @ kreij006,

    I’m not quite sure what you mean by shortcut. Do you just mean shortcode. This can be done with the shortcodes Events+ provides. Here’s an example. Just include either code in a post or page.

    If your category slug is “gemany” you can do this:

    [eab_archive category =”germany”]

    Or simply use the ID:

    [eab_archive category =31]

    Thanks for being a WPMU DEV member. Let us know if we can be of any further assistance.

    Best regards,

    Hi Maarten,

    I can see the screenshots ok. I just tested this myself and the archive shortcode displays the list of events with a button linking to the event page.

    Can you try removing the <p></p> tags from your page and see if that helps?

    Also, in my test I used [eab_archive category=”germany”] I can’t quite make it out in the screenshot, but can you confirm that you’re using exactly the slug for the category, or the ID without quotes?

    Thanks!
