Shortcode Generators

The shortcode generator is located under My Calendar > Shortcodes. You can use the shortcode generator to create shortcodes for the Main, Upcoming, and Today shortcodes.

These are the most commonly used events displays, but there are several other shortcodes available:

• Calendar filters
• Locations list
• Calendar event
• Happening now
• Happening next

There are a few other older shortcodes that still exist, but are no longer supported.

Main

The general Calendar. Will show the default calendar view based on the selections in the Main tab screen. You can also go directly to the backend My Calendar page and modify the shortcodes seen on the bottom in the meta boxes.
