# Multisite setup problem or misunderstanding?

 * Hi there!
 * Either I misunderstood something about how Events Manager works in multisite,
   or something’s wrong – perhaps someone can help me. 🙂
 * Here’s the setting:
 * There are three pages that all are supposed to use the same calendar in a multisite:
 * Main Region Events Page
    Page of TownA Page of TownB
 * *Almost* everything works as expected, EM is installed, set to global and all
   that.
 * On the Main page I want to see all the events, so there’s the following shortcode(
   with replaced brackets to prevent funny behaviour in the forum 😉 ):
 * (event_search_form)
    (events_list limit=”10″ pagination=”1″ blog=”1,2,3″)
 * That one correctly shows all the events, no matter whether they’ve been entered
   in the main site or a Town site.
 * And since I set EM to use all events on the main page when I select one category
   in the search form it then goes to the page set as the “list page” in EM settings
   and displays the filtered correct results from all sites there.
 * Here’s the Problem:
 * On the Two town sites the search only shows the “local” results, not the global
   ones.
 * The global ones sure are available on that level, since the shortcode to show
   the results for that Town on one of the pages works (and minus the category ALL
   Events show, correctly):
 * (event_search_form)
    (events_list limit=”10″ pagination=”1″ category=”towna” 
   blog=”1,2,3″)
 * BUT
 * When I select a category in the search form and then submit – this again leads
   me to the page the EM on that page is set to use as it’s List page, but there
   no global events will appear – only the events I entered into EM on that website.
 * Did I do something wrong? Or is this “Works as designed” and only the main site
   can search through ALL Events like I want?
 * If the answer is “works as designed”:
 * Is there a possible workaround? Other than to link to the Search on the main 
   site…
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmultisite-setup-problem-or-misunderstanding%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * at the moment this is how it works, however, you can try to use EM default events
   search and list and then you can hook into em_content_events_args filter to set
   the blog filters or modify the template file under events-manager/templates/templates/
   events-list.php
 * to use templates: [http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/](http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/)
 * eg. wp-content/themes/Your Theme/plugins/events-manager/templates/events-list.
