Hm, now I am looking at my plugin again, I see it still needs quite a bit of work. I have basically built it around my own events site, and a lot of things that would normally be user settings, or at the very least sensible defaults, are now hard coded.

Good to hear it.

Add something to your theme’s stylesheet like:

div.event-date div {
display: inline-block;
margin-right: .75em;
}

.event-list .startdate,
.event-list .enddate {
width: auto;
}

You will probably need to do some more CSS tweaking to get it right.

If you are using a third party theme, make sure you add these changes to the child theme – if you do not, the next update of the theme will erase your changes. Some third party themes also have an Extra CSS field in their Settings where you can paste the above code.

Which version of the plugin are you using?

Which WordPress version are you using?

Which PHP version are you using?

Did you check the filter settings in the backend?

If for example the filter on your management page is set to only show Upcoming events, but you have not entered any upcoming events, the page will be empty.

What is the user level you are trying to access the backend with?

I am not the developer. The developer has been ‘away’ from the plugin for 18 months now, so I don’t know how and if this is going to develop. He has mentioned before that once he finishes work on one of his other plug-ins, he will return to maintaining this one.

I also really like this plug-in, which is why I try and help out in this support forum. If it hadn’t been programmed using a methodology I don’t really understand (OOP using a singleton pattern, if that means anything to you), I would have offered to help maintain it myself.

As for your question, I do not see an easy way to achieve this in Event List.

In fact I started work on a companion plug-in that achieves this and a number of other things, but I never got around to using it myself, so I would be loth to recommend it to others. If you like, I can upload it to Github though for you to check out. It is quite complete.

Note that Akismet is only free for personal sites, not for commercial sites.

You seem to already have solved this? When I click the event, I am lead to a separate page showing just the event.

In fact you appear to be using a completely different plugin, The Events Calendar.

To be honest, I don’t see anything wrong with the image in the event list. The plugin displays the large image, and your theme then scales it down to the width of the column.

Which browser are you using?

To be clear, plugin versions starting with 3.0 require at least WordPress 3.9; version 2.0 of the plugin should work with WordPress 3.3 and newer.

I cannot help you with Forminator, but have checked that the filters in the All Events admin page are set correctly? I.e. the ‘Dates’ and ‘Categories’ filters near the top of the page.

To build upon what Rolf said, but keep it more succinct, add the following to your child-theme’s stylesheet or your theme’s custom CSS field:

li.event {
    margin-bottom: 5em;
}

Change the value of ‘5em’ to whatever you like. You can use fractions, e.g. margin-bottom: 1.6667em.

I take it this is the Pro version of Elementor that contains the Theme Builder and that allows you to read out custom fields from a custom post type?

Starting with version 0.8.0, if I remember correctly, the Event List plugin transitioned to using custom post types instead of using its own database tables. The following metadata (custom fields) can be stored with an event: ‘startdate’, ‘enddate’, ‘starttime’, ‘location’. These are the machine names, in the event editor they are labelled as “Date (required)” (one or two date fields depending on whether or not you checked “Multi-Day Event”), “Time” and “Location”.

I imagine that if you have access to Time and Location, you should also have access to the date(s). If you don’t, the reason may be that there is no one-on-one relation between the Date field in the event editor and a custom field in the back-end.

Do you perhaps see fields called ‘startdate’ and ‘enddate’? I don’t own Elementor Pro, so this is not something I could look up.

To reproduce this problem, create a Text widget and paste the above-mentioned shortcode into it. (Your theme may need to allow shortcodes in text widgets first.)

I can confirm this behaviour for all values of initial_date except ‘upcoming’.

In other words, it seems that num_events only works when initial_date is set to ‘upcoming’.

A solution for you might be to set initial_date to ‘upcoming’ or to use the Event List widget instead (which by default only shows upcoming events). If you also want to show past events, I would not know how to go about that.

Is this in the frontend or in the admin event? How many future events do you have? Do you have a link?

Not that I am aware.
