Hi Guys – I’m keen to use your events calendar pro however I was wondering if this is possible
1 – does your plugin use templates or shortcodes or both. I ask this as I need to add events to the home page of my site like here http://27.131.66.24/~larrakia/ (scroll down) and shortcodes would be handy for that.
2 – I’d like to have my events page look similar to this – a list view I guess, is this possible (image on the left, info on the right) If so can you show me an example of the type of page layout?http://27.131.66.24/~larrakia/events/
3 – Can I have a single events page with a featured image at the top similar in dimensions to this page. Images are really important for this site. If so can you show me an example of the type of page layout?

4 – do you have recurring events
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to inquire about our plugins! I’m more than happy to answer any and all questions you have. Before going into your questions I just want to mention that you can see a demo of The Events Calendar and you can download the free version at :http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar<span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>/</span>. Pro version and other add-ons enable new functionality but the majority of functionality you discussed is available in the free version. Please feel free to download and experiment.
1 – does your plugin use templates or shortcodes or both. I ask this as I need to add events to the home page of my site like here http://27.131.66.24/~larrakia/ (scroll down) and shortcodes would be handy for that.
The Events Calendar uses templates for display. You can use them to display events throughout your site. We have put together some tutorials outlining various customizations and setup that could come in handy for what you are looking to do.
2 – I’d like to have my events page look similar to this – a list view I guess, is this possible (image on the left, info on the right) If so can you show me an example of the type of page layout?
We do support a list view of events and you can customize the template to meet your display needs. You can see a sample on the demo site here. You can see other views by using the View As feature above the event listing.
3 – Can I have a single events page with a featured image at the top similar in dimensions to this page. Images are really important for this site. If so can you show me an example of the type of page layout?
Each Event has it’s own page and you can do featured images, inline images, galleries or modify the content to fit your needs just like any other post/page in WordPress. If you click on a event in the demo site you can see what a standard event page looks like.
4 – do you have recurring events
Yes as part of Events Calendar Pro. The free version does not support recurring events.
Please let me know if the above answered your questions or if you need any additional information.
Thanks again,
– Matthew
July 2, 2014 at 5:13 pm #268563Sofia WoodsGuestThanks Guys – I really love the calendar but I need to be able to show events on the home page of the website – do you know if there’s any way to do this currently? Am I able to pull this in using my theme’s functions.php
Cheers

My apologies, I somehow overlooked that you had responded on this thread. I know it has been a while since your query but yes you can display the calendar on your site’s home page using template tags. For example the below snippet used in your site’s theme would display the calendar on the home page.
if( is_home() ) {
tribe_show_month( );
}Again my sincerest apologies for the delay in responding!
