# Shortcode for starting month?

 * I have a small calendar with three events in April. The calendar shows March,
   but I want it to skip right to the month with active events.
   Documentation says
   month=”4″ should do the trick, however that does not work. Any help much appreciated,
   this should be simple, right?

 * I don’t see anything in the documentation about month=”4″. The search attributes
   are only for the [events_list] shortcode. The scope attribute doesn’t work for
   the [events_calendar] shortcode. When I go to Formatting tab in Events Manager
   settings and look in the Calendar section, I don’t see any settings to specify
   the starting month.

 * Thanks for writing back, I see…
   No way to make this work then?
