Event Shortcode Errors

    I would like to have a featured event section on my landing page, and when I use the [event] shortcode it says the map is unavailable and the featured image is not displayed. Ideally, I would like the featured image and underneath it would have the event information, and perhaps a link to the event page where the map would be displayed. Is this possible? Please and thank you for any help.

    just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Thank you for responding angelo. I deactivated all other plugins and nothing changed, and I switched to Twenty Fourteen and nothing changed.

    hmm, can I know the actual shortcode you used ?

    This is the shortcode I used: [event post_id=”1″][/event]

    You either need to use the shortcode without a closing tag…

    [event post_id="1"]

    …or put placeholders between the tags:

    [event post_id="1"]
#_EVENTNAME
[/event]

    Okay so I wasn’t aware of this. Everything shows up properly by using the placeholders between the tags.

    For future reference for anyone that encounters the same problem:

    If you want to have the featured image on the left with information about the event on the right first you create two columns.

    In the first column: [event post_id=”#”]#_EVENTIMAGE[/event]
    In the second column: [event post_id=”#”]#_EVENTNAME #_EVENTDATE….[/event]

    Here is a link to all the placeholders that can be used (https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/placeholders/)

    There wasn’t great documentation for this on the website unfortunately, it would help if that were added. Thank you for your help angelo and caimin_nwl!
