Events Shortcodes Pro extends The Events Calendar with more ways to add event listings to WordPress pages, posts, landing pages, widgets, and custom sections. It requires The Events Calendar and supports shortcodes, a Gutenberg Events block, and a Bricks Builder Events component.

Choose a listing layout

Pro adds Grid, Carousel, Slider, Masonry, Accordion, Calendar-style, and highlighted layouts. Use Grid for event cards, Carousel or Slider for sliding showcases, Masonry for a flexible grid, or Accordion for compact expandable listings. Calendar-style layouts present events as a schedule, while highlighted layouts give selected events more emphasis. List, Timeline, and Minimal List styles are also available for straightforward schedules and compact sections.

Set the events visitors can find

The frontend filter bar lets visitors search and narrow listings by category, venue, organizer, and other available filters. You can also configure listings to display events by venue, organizer, tag, or featured status. Choose a date range or show future events, past events, or all event archives.

Shortcode controls let you select event categories, set the number of events, choose ascending or descending order, and select a date format. Additional show settings include venue visibility and time selection, with social sharing where supported by the listing configuration.

Add and review the listing

Use a shortcode and adjust its attributes for the layout and event selection. In the WordPress editor, insert the Events block and set its settings in the block panel. In Bricks, add the Events component to a page or template and configure the listing visually.

1. Install and activate The Events Calendar and Events Shortcodes Pro.
2. Open the page, post, widget, or supported builder template where the events should appear.
3. Insert a shortcode, the Gutenberg Events block, or the Bricks Events component.
4. Choose a layout and configure filters, dates, categories, sorting, and the event limit.
5. Save or publish the content, then review the listing on the page.
