SOLVED. Now that I know it won’t work in the formatting area, I just added the shortcode to each event. A little extra work but it works.

Ugh, I guess I just don’t have enough experience to quite get this working. I will take out the shortcode in the event formatting, just thought that may work. The events manager really doesn’t give you the options like posts do for a blog. In posts I can choose sidebar layouts which makes things easier. Thanks for your help though. I don’t want to take up anymore of your time. ??

I had categories called “events” and “announcements”. I since deleted the categories and just have all the events without a category. I call this shortcode on the homepage [events_list limit=10] and it brings up all my events. If I use that same shortcode in the formatting under “Single event page format” [events_list limit=10]#_EVENTDATES #_EVENTLINK <br/>[/events_list] it just repeats the same event I a viewing.

It really doesn’t make sense why it is doing this. I guess I will have to try and add the events widget somehow on that single events page. I’m just stuck on that for right now.

Thanks for your input. If you have any other ideas I appreciate it.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to do that. I can do it if I know exactly what code to add and where to put it. ??

I thought it should be easy too but I tried this several times but it keeps repeating same event that I am viewing. It won’t bring in the other events from the category. What am I missing?
[events_list category=”events” limit=”10″]#_EVENTDATES #_EVENTLINK <br/>[/events_list]

Sorry, I’m still having a little trouble. If I take the date out of the settings then the date would come out of the category “events” as well.

In the case of listing just the events with the category “announcements”, how would that be written with the short code? Nothing I’ve tried seems to work. I am using Elementor with my template so not sure if that is messing some things up.

I am not using it on the events list page. I am trying to show current events on the homepage and want to split them out between the two categories.

How would I write that with the [events_list][/events_list] tags?
