Shortcode generator for Upcoming Events

    Site is under construction, username and password are “splashtech” to view frontend. I put a red border around the problem area with 2 examples.

    I want the Upcoming Events to show on the homepage, but without the time. When I go to shortcodes>upcoming and delete the time from the templating area, the shortcode doesn’t work properly.

    It would also be great if I could take the year off, but that’s not essential.

    I’m also using Oxygen Builder with the Intentionally Blank theme. I tried to add some custom templates by copying the mc-templates into the theme but I’m not sure it will work since Oxygen disables the theme. Even if that did work, the php is a bit over my head. I’m a fast learner, and do well in html/css. Haven’t gotten to php yet but I’d be happy to work on that if you could point me in the right direction.

    Thank you for making this plugin and focusing on accessibility.

    The {link_title} template tag seems like the right one, but it actually fetches the title with the link you’ve added into the event’s custom URL field; to get the permalink, you’d want to use {permalink} or {details_link}.

    I’m not at all familiar with Oxygen Builder, so I don’t really know what steps you’d need to take to use php templates with that, honestly. It’s a pretty unique approach, and I haven’t looked at it to see how it works exactly.

    Amazing, thank you so much! I was able to do it from the shortcode generator area and not worry about copying files and how it would work with Oxygen, etc.
