Upcoming events shortcode skip

    I’m wanting to create upcoming events listings for church services in different time frames “This week” [my_calendar_upcoming category=”11,12″ template=”0507dd96a0f710a4e458113143c99295″ before=”0″ after=”6″ skip=”0″ type=”days” order=”asc”] and that’s working ok.
    But when I want “next week” the skip function appears to revert to skipping a number of
    EVENTS rather than the DAYS as specified in the parameters.

    I bought the manual to see if it would help but I can’t find what I’m looking for. There’s a “from” parameter mentioned in the manual on p26 but I can’t see how to set that to “current date+7” to get a start date a week in the future.

    This is a website for a group of churches and I want to replicate the functionality across all of them using categories, but I need to get it working first.

    The product detail for the pro version doesn’t appear to what I need but do I have to go Pro just to get support? It’s a charity site so expenditure is from my personal funds!
    Thanks in advance for any help. regards, Charles

    The ‘skip’ parameter always skips events, so that’s behaving as expected. With the manual, you have to be careful to pay attention to which attributes relate to which shortcodes; the ‘from’ shortcode doesn’t apply to the upcoming events shortcode.

    The upcoming events shortcode is primarily event oriented, while most other shortcodes are oriented towards dates – if you want to skip dates, you’ll probably want to use one of those.

    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    I will do some more experimenting as you suggest.
    The plugin is really good – I did a presentation of the website and the upcoming events feature this evening and it was really well received.
