Dear customers We won’t be operating from October 31st to November 3rd because of the Diwali celebration.
How can we help?

The event listings

To display all the event listings, users need to create a new page from the Pages menu at the Admin Panel and add the shortcode  [events] or can add the shortcode in the Template file that is attached to the page created.

The shortcode shows the list of your events along with Search filters.

Event Listing Page set-up:

Create a new page following the below mentioned steps:

WP-admin >> Pages >> New Page

[events]

Wp Event Manager The Event Listings Setup

Add a suitable title to it  and add the shortcode [events] inside the content area.

It is recommended for you to paste the shortcode into the ‘text’ view of the visual editor to ensure it gets formatted correctly.

Layout of the event listings

Users get mainly two types of layouts to display all the event listings on the website: Box Layout and List layout.
