    I need to get the current event. At the moment it outputs all events for the day.

    Here is my shortcode so far:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[my_calendar format="list" above="none" below="none" time="day" before="0" after="0" type="event" fallback="No events coming up!" template="{title before="<h4>" after="</h4>"} {time after="-"} {endtime} {image} {host} {description}" order="asc" skip="0"]'); ?>

    You’ll see the results if you visit this page and scroll down. The events show up under the date on the right-hand sidebar. https://www.radioherzclub.com

    Also {host} is not working, although each event has a host set.

    The host shortcode shows the display_name; if there is no display_name, it’ll be blank. But the shortcode should work if that is set.

    My Calendar doesn’t have a specific method to show what event is happening right now – if I were to consider adding such a thing, what would you expect it to show if there were no event happening?

    With the shortcode you’re supplying, you won’t necessarily get the results you’re expecting – you’re mixing and matching attribute between different shortcodes. The “before” and “after” attributes, for example, have no meaning at all in the [my_calendar] shortcode; they’re only used in the [my_calendar_upcoming] shortcode. This is all documented on the Help page, so you may want to review the Help notes on shortcodes.

    Got it. Thanks for getting back to me. I’ll check the display_name on the users I added as hosts.

    If there is no current event it could just offer a notice like “there is no current event” and/or you could have it show the next upcoming event with a title saying “upcoming”.

    One other question, is there a way to add multiple hosts, when more than one person is hosting the event?

    Thanks!

    No, I’m afraid not – although that might not be too difficult to add. I’ll think about it – nobody has ever requested it before.
