 * Dear all,
 * Suppose I have created the following custom fields for Venue of The Events Calendar
   Pro:
    (a) district (b) area according to this guide: [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/additional-fields-for-venues-and-organizers](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/additional-fields-for-venues-and-organizers)
 * Am I correct that I can use the following shortcodes to display events of a particular“
   District”?
    (i) [tribe_events_list district=”ST 沙田”]
 * and for a particular “area”：
    (ii) [tribe_events_list area=”MeiLam 美林”]
 * Thanks for any kinds of help！

 * Can some Guru give some comments?
 * or
    Actually Events Calendar Pro does NOT support short codes for custom fields?
 * This is a pre-sales question and will affect my decision to
    buy the Pro version
   or NOT!
 * Rgds.

 * Hi [@hhtmp88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hhtmp88/),
 * Thanks for your message!
 * Our legacy V1 views are no longer supported, but you can [Show Events Based on Custom Fields](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/show-events-by-custom-field/)—
   this article will walk you through how to set this up, while using our updated
   V2 views.
 * But, there is not a built-in way to use these custom fields within Events Calendar
   Pro’s shortcodes.
 * Hope this helps!
 * Thanks,
    Erica

 * Dear Erica,
 * Am I right that:
    (c) the direct use of the following shortcodes to display events
   of a particular “District” (which is a custom field), will NOT work? — [tribe_events_list
   district=”ST 沙田”]
 * (d) we have to write our own plugin according to “Show Events Based on Custom
   Fields”
    [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/show-events-by-custom-field/](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/show-events-by-custom-field/)-
   > before we can using this own-made plugin to display events of a custom field?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@hhtmp88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hhtmp88/),
 * That’s correct, this would require custom development — it wouldn’t work “out
   of the box” with your custom fields.
 * Thanks,
    Erica
