All events as articles on Homepage

Hi Michi,

Yes it is possible you can follow this tutorial to show events as you like
https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/placeholders/

Just to give an idea in your case, you can place this shortcode on your homepage where you want to show events:

[events_list scope="all" limit=5 pagination=1]

To show in another style:

Please let me know if you have any questions.?

HI imranpixelite,
thank you for your fast reply.
The solution you discribed is perfectly for the content of single pages or articles.
But I want, that all events are listet in the main area of my blog.
If I released a new event it is also shown at the main are of my blog.
My Blog is configured to show the latest articles, not a static site.
I hope you know what I mean ??
Thank you!! ??

Hi MichiL,

You can try?the code snippet below in the?functions.php?file?of your child theme:

add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'my_get_posts' );
function my_get_posts( $query ) {

	if ( is_home() && false == $query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] )
		$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'event' ) );
	return $query;
}

Hi imranpixelite,
thanks again for your help, the solution you are talking about worked with a theme I used, several years ago, but not with the one I use now (Sydney). Do you have any other ideas?

This solution worked for me:

function custom_event_posts( $query ) {
    if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        if ( $query->is_home() ) {
            $query->set( 'post_type', array ('post', 'event') );
            $query->set( 'posts_per_page', 10 );
        }
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_event_posts' );

I added this code at the end of your functions.php of your theme
Thanks for your help!!

Hi MichiL,

You’re welcome! Glad to hear that your problem is solved now.

Have a nice day! ??
