shortcode for event category

Hi,
I am trying to use MEC for a sports club page. Currently, because we are in between seasons and because of the virus, we have no schedules matches. I am using this time to overhaul the look and feel of the page and so far I liked MEC.
However, I have now run into a problem. I have created two categories for events, “adult teams” and “youth teams” with a matching shortocde each. I then want to use those shortcodes in calendar widgets.
When I add the widget and go to select the shortcode, neither of them is shown. I first thought this was due to there being no events in either category. But when I added an event into each for later today, the shortcodes still did not show up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi,

My problem is not that the events are not found, they are. My problem is that the shortcodes are not found in a widget.

If you look at this page https://hsg-eppla.de/ on the right hand side, next to the first blog post I would like to show upcoming games for the adult teams. So I created a shortcode that filters by category. I have a category for adult teams and a different one for the youth teams.

The calendar on the front is a widget, for which I want to use the MEC widget. I can add the widget but when I try to select the shortcode, I can only see monthly view, upcoming events (list) and upcoming events (grid) as the options. I cannot see the short codes I created myself.

Thanks

Hi @warhonowicz,

Please don’t worry, use the code of the shortcode – Carousel widgets are included in the MEC WordPress widget.

So, please follow and do the steps below:

1- Create a new shortcode: https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/making-advance-shortcodes-in-modern-event-calendar/

2- Copy the shortcode (explained on the number 15).

3- Head over to WP > Appearance > Widgets

4- Drag and Drop “Text Widget” to the desired sidebar

5- Go to the text tab and put your code here.

6- click on the Save Button and done.

Hi @webnus,

Thanks, that works perfectly … now all we need is for this virus to go away so we can actually schedule matches etc.

best regards
