How to properly display an event listing in Events +

I’ve installed the Events + plugin hoping to replace my current calendar plugin. I’m having some trouble understanding how to display the calendar.

On my temporary testing site (http://ctdev.moretango.org/) I’ve created a page called calendar 2 (http://ctdev.moretango.org/calendar-2/) and added the shortcode [eab_calendar]. This displays a month calendar for the current month with no way to move to the next month. Also, I would like to display a list of upcoming events as is shown in the image example for the plugin.

I’ve tried the template overrides but they have no effect.

I’m sure I’m missing something very basic. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Benjamin,

    Hope you’re well?

    for the navigation, you need to add the navigation parameter to the shortcode (as per the shortcodes page)

    Dashboard > events > shortcodes

    [eab_calendar navigation="1"]

    For upcoming events in the image you mention, this is actually a widget. You need to add the upcoming events widget to your sidebar. (screenshot 1)

    There’s also an archive shortcode you can use on a page too which lists upcoming events in more detail.

    [eab_archive paged="1" limit="10" page="1" lookahead="1" weeks="20"]

    The above shortcode will list upcoming events upto 20 weeks ahead with page navigation & limiting to 10 events per page.

    Hope this helps
