The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Pro places events from The Events Calendar on WordPress posts, pages, and widgets. The Events Calendar plugin by StellarWP, formerly Modern Tribe, must be installed and have events added first.

Choose a placement and design

Add a shortcode, insert the WordPress block, or use the Elementor widget or Bricks element. Pro includes seven designs, with a true calendar view, compact and column-based layouts, and events grouped by day. For a custom presentation, use Shortcode Variables or templates. You can display multiple shortcodes on one page with various settings, and the plugin works with any WordPress theme.

For example, this shortcode shows the next eight events in the festival category: [ecs-list-events cat="festival" limit="8"]

Filter the event list

Set each display to show events from selected categories or tags, a particular month or year, a specific date or date range, or the next number of days. Location filters can use a city, state, or country. You can also show only featured events, include past events, conceal events after their start time, or show only the first instance of a recurring event.

Set the details users see

Choose whether to show dates, venues, thumbnails, excerpts, or a link to all events, and set the order of event details. Pro can show the full event description instead of an excerpt, or display only the event start time. Its filter bar lets visitors narrow the displayed events, and pagination lets them view additional pages.

Set up the display

Install and activate The Events Calendar, add events to its calendar, then install and activate The Events Calendar Shortcode & Block Pro. Add the display using the placement method that fits your editor, configure its design, filters, details, and visitor controls, then preview the listing on the page. Pro includes premium support for plugin questions.
