 * I am using the paid plugin and none of the shortcodes are working. Any idea why?
 * I have tried everything in this link and nothing works:
 * [https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/events-calendar-pro-widget-shortcodes-overview/#event-list-shortcode](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/events-calendar-pro-widget-shortcodes-overview/#event-list-shortcode)
 * I have found something in this forum that explained a similar problem but it 
   looks like that turned out to be someone that was using the free version.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi! I use the free vesrion and the shortcode [tribe_events] that I got form this
   [link](https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/k/the-events-calendar-shortcode-block/)
   doesn’t work either. How can I show the events on a page whithout having to install
   another plugin?
    Thanks

 * Hey [@lcm404](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lcm404/)
 * Thank you for reaching out and sorry to hear that the shortcodes are not working.
   Yikes!
 * Since you are a paid customer, I would recommend [opening a premium support thread here](https://theeventscalendar.com/support/)
   so that you can get speedier and more in-depth support.
 * [@carolaword](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carolaword/) to answer your
   question, you will definitely need another plugin to show the calendar on a specific
   page. With that in mind our Pro add-on does have a ton of other cool features
   too (along with premium support).
 * Cheers,
    Geoff
