 * I am having issues getting your shortcode to work. The problem… you shortcode
   does not work. Finding was hard enough. There seems to be multiple websites for
   your plugin. Very confusing.
 * This shortcode does not display a calendar. It displays shortcode. (I have tried
   with several themes). The shortcode I am using.

 * ALSO – I want to display a list of events that show ALL events, including past
   events. I do not see any documentation on this. Is it possible? If so… how??
 * Thanks.

 * I found out why. Shortcode only works with your premium plugin.
 * You should make that more clear. I only found this answer because other people
   have had the same problem.

 * Hi Steve,
 * I am so sorry for the lack of information around that. I will make sure this 
   gets relayed internally on Modern Tribe so we can update our Knowledgebase and
   documentation to warn folks about that.
 * Where did you see that information that led you to think it was on the base plugin?
   I really want to make sure we are not putting people on that situation.
 * My best regards,

 * I found it by searching this support forum for “shortcode”. There was a similar
   post from about a year ago that got answered and informed them that shortcode
   only worked for paid versions.
 * The plugin download page ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/))
   makes no mention of shortcode in any way. That might be a good place to start.
