Showing events on Home/Frontpage

  • hi there,

    i try to show some events on my hompage.. on the index homepage. but the shortocdes do apply as text there. on all other subpages they work fine.
    i read your post to select the main event page as static homepage but that is what i want to avoid because then i dont have a homepage anymore.. then i will just have a eventpage. My index main homepage is built via widtgets (+ is a static page) and could this be the reason why the shortcodes are not working there? because i put the shortcodes into a widget there.

    I am currently testing the standard events calender .. dont have the pro version yet. But i would like to test how it looks like when i show up some events on the index homepage.

    Cheers and beste regards
    Joerg

    Hi!

    I’m not sure which widgets exactly you are using to build up your frontpage but they would of course need to have support for shortcodes to pull this off.

    Can you clarify what you are using? Is it the regular text widgets that ship with WordPress? Have you looked for a plugin that adds shortcode support if so?

    hi,
    i attach some screenshots of the widgets overview.. and the big red circle is the index page of the homepage .. the little red circle is the text widget where i would like to show some specific events.

    the blue circle on the left handside of the screenshot is the events-widget but there i can only select how much i will show up and have no chance to add something like a shortcode. because i would like to decide which events need more attraction.

    the other second screenshot is the widget inside that i currently use.

    it is a regular text widget that i use, yes. no i did not look for another plugin that addes shortcodes except yours. and your plugin works on all the subpages that i have except the home/index page.

    this is a subpage that shows up event via shortcodes from your plugin.

    If you need more information, just let me know.

    So what I meant was, the text widget itself would need to support shortcodes or you’re out of luck:

    Try the snippet suggested in the codex article I linked to – otherwise, you’d need to source a plugin that enables this.

    Does that help?
