Fantastic, Great Customer Support

I love this plug in. It did exactly what the Event's Calendar couldn't, and I now have a beautiful page detailing only upcoming events in an efficient and easy-to-peruse manner. This way my users don't have to click through a month-by-month view in an attempt to find upcoming events.

It also looks great in my widget sidebar.

I really appreciate what you've done Brian and wish you all the best

Used to Extend The Events Calendar

This helped me to extend “The Events Calendar” so that I can better display past events. Having past events for an event plugin is a no-brainer, but somehow “The Events Calendar” plugin didn’t think it was important enough to include, and this plugin extends this basic functionality perfectly.

Simple to include

With this plugin, you can add a block or a shortcode (which is just some text between [ and ]) on a page to display a list of your events. For example the shortcode to show next 8 events in the category "festival":

[ecs-list-events cat='festival' limit='8']

What You Can Create With The Events Calendar Shortcode Pro

You get full control over how your events are displayed, with no code required: choose to show your events in multiple layouts, with or without images, a registration link, calendar view, description, and metadata such as the venue location.

And you can even have multiple shortcodes per page. Plus, it works with the free version of The Events Calendar!

Show your events with full description

This is the default view, which outputs data from The Events Calendar plugin to show your most recent events in a list, with all information; including the time and location, map link, event description, price, and a button to click through to the full event.

I was trying to solve issues with multiple The Events Calendar shortcodes on the same page and came across this plugin. After seeing the plugin had a no-questions-asked return policy I decided to give it a try. This plugin addressed my issues, and would highly recommend it to others.
