Here’s some documentation on how to create custom scopes like “this-weekend” or “this-month”: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/
It would look something like this:
add_filter( 'em_events_build_sql_conditions', 'my_em_scope_conditions',1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args) {
if (!empty($args['scope'])) {
$set_scope = false;
if( $args['scope']=='this-weekend' ) {
$start_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Saturday'));
$end_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('next Sunday'));
$set_scope = true;
}
else if( $args['scope'] == 'this-month' ){
$start_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first day of this Month'));
$end_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('last day of this Month'));
$set_scope = true;
}
if ( $set_scope == true ) {
$conditions['scope'] = " (event_start_date BETWEEN CAST('$start_date' AS DATE) AND CAST('$end_date' AS DATE)) OR (event_end_date BETWEEN CAST('$end_date' AS DATE) AND CAST('$start_date' AS DATE))";
}
}
return $conditions;
}
add_filter( 'em_get_scopes','my_em_scopes',1,1);
function my_em_scopes($scopes){
$my_scopes = array( 'this-weekend' => 'This weekend', 'next-month' => 'This Month' );
return $scopes + $my_scopes;
}
After that you can use the following shortcodes:
[events_list scope="this-weekend"]
[events_list scope="this-month"]
