 * Hi,
 * at first glance the plugin seems to be a good alternative for TEC.
   But as it 
   seems, it’s difficult to use with Polylang.
 * As it is not possible, to use the standard event-page with Polylang (we get 404
   page not found on the translated page), we want do use **shortcodes** to display
   the event-list.
 * But there doesn’t seem to be a parameter / option to change the view of the event
   list, eg to grid-view.
   There is no hint in the documentation ([https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/](https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/shortcodes/))
   and the setting “Default view” does not apply to the shortcode [events_list]
 * So is there another trick to get it done?
 * Similar question for the search bar, there is no shortcode… no possibility to
   include it?
 * Regards
   Claudia
