How to insert calendar on Home Page??

You can use a grid, for example visual composers Grid, to display posts (events) on your homepage. You don’t need the Pro version.

Hi there, we are in the same position, I looked at this plugin last week and got stuck.

Alfateefje – you have not answered the question. We most likely can put the calendar into a visual composer, page, post and even sidebar, but how do we get it in there?
There’s no short code or instructions….

@bloohair: This is not your topic. If you require assistance then, as per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

Sorry, I will start a new question

If you have created a grid, for example a “Post Masonry Grid” on your homepage or wherever, then you can edit this grid.
Select Tribe-events in the data_source tab:

I believe @bloohair has successfully stated the inadequacies of the previous post’s answer. I completely agree with what he/she said… HOW do we get a calendar to show up? The instuctions for this particular topic in the plugin are quite vague.

I apologize, but it seems silly to post a duplicate question, as that is also frowned upon in the forum. Feel free to follow-up with this @bloohair unless you are able to find answers elsewhere!

@alfateefje I’m not familiar with a visual composer grid… It sounds like your solution is a workaround to create our own calendar, rather than use the calendar that’s already built in the plugin. Is this correct?

Also, is the grid you suggest responsive?

KDardis,
Visual Composers and Masonry grids are responsive.

But my website isn’t designed to have a grid system. It should not matter whether a website uses a grid or not. Simply inserting a shortcode into a sidebar, page or post should suffice?

However, I will have a look at Alfateefje’s link.

@bloohair and anyone else who needs help with this: I was actually able to get a response elsewhere on this topic. Here is what I received from a support representative:

We are actually in the process of building a feature that would allow you to embed full calendar views on any page or post using a shortcode and that should come out in Events Calendar PRO version 4.3 if all goes according to plan.

In the meantime, I’m afraid there is no easy way to embed full calendar views so that the calendar is both on the homepage and the main calendar page. Events Calendar PRO does indeed include several shortcodes that allow you to embed the calendar widgets (i.e. the mini calendar) on any page or post, so that may very well get you what you need for now, but I at least wanted to throw that out there.

OK, I found it! (Sort of)
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/linking-to-specific-event-views/
This page tells you where the calendar is hidden.

So on your website you have link like this:
https://www.mywebsite.com/events/month

So that’s getting a link to it, would be handy to have it embed onto the page. Or is that only available in the Pro version?

Unfortunately this calender plugin doesn’t provide any shortcodes…

But why not use a grid?
I thinks most themes come with a grid builder like VC Grid or The Grid or something like that. Or you can buy at themeforest.com

@bloohair the calendar itself can be viewed on the /events page of your site… just make sure you don’t already have a page called /events as it may cause conflict with the plugin.

But yes, you are correct. In order to use their calendar elsewhere on the site, they have a “Mini calendar” that you could use in a sidebar. That is in the PRO version.

Thanks Kdardis,
I hope my discovery above is also useful to you.

I can now at least put a button on the course pages that will take you to the month view.

No, not all themes use a grid system actually.
