Hi Rose,
Ok, let’s take these one at a time.
First, is there a way to have the events list be the site’s home page. The answer is yes, it is possible. I’ve a couple of things you can try. The first is a little older and refers to an earlier version of the plugin. Be careful of
include(‘wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/gridview.php’);
as it’s been updated in 3.0 and will need to reflect the current php file name. The second one is at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/events-views-in-the-homepage/ and might be an easier approach and one you might want to try first.
Second, you want to have an RSS feed of those events. The Events Calendar can do that and you can find some good information at https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/
And lastly you asked about the photo view. Yes, that is only available in the Events Calendar PRO plugin.
Does that answer your questions? Can I help you with anything else?
