Hello,
One reason We don’t add “Next” and “Previous” on Single Events page is because Events are arranged based on Event Start-Date. Usually Next and Previous only works on Post that are based on their published date only.
If you’re on the Events List Page, A pagination of events would show and when you’re using shortcode and add attribute pagination="1"
The code below would limit to 10 events per page and will show a pagination.
[events_list limit="10" pagination="1"]
#_EVENTIMAGE{100,0}
[/events_list]

I’m not sure I completely understand the reasoning here. If it’s true what you’re saying that doesn’t make much sense. A publication date is for an event useless, unlike an article. The only date that is useful for events is the event date.
Also, how do the other shortcodes work (#_CATEGORYPASTEVENTS etc.), do they also work on published date?
The pagination option doesn’t work, I’m talking about the normal template in the settings page for a single event, I cannot add pagination to that. I’m not talking about the Events List Page.
Thanks for the great effort, if you have a solution for the second part of my question I would appreciate that.
BTW, I made a new support entry for the previous/next issue. Ignore at will 😉
Hello,
Events are WP Custom Post Types. For all WP Custom Post Types, Everything is required to have a “Publish Date”, This is a core function of WP. As for “Events” this is not used all the time. The Sorting of Events is based on “Events Start Date” or “Event End Date”. (ie: You could publish an Event Today April 24, 2020 but the Event would be on May 1, 2020)
Since those features (Single Event Paginations ) are currently not available, You could always do those by doing some custom coding: https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-a-custom-placeholder-for-event-formatting/
As for your question about placeholder “#_CATEGORYPASTEVENTS”, This placeholder will show a list of all past events with this category. (This is still based on the Event Start Date) More information about placeholders can be found here: https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/placeholders/ I would suggest testing the placeholders first hand to see on how they works.
