 * Hi guys,
 * is there a shortcode to show a count of the events in a certain range.
 * Right now I am using events_list_grouped mode=”monthly” which outputs Events 
   in August, Events in July etc. I would like to have it say: 23 Events in August,
   45 Events in July etc.
 * Is that feasible?

 * you can try custom placeholder to make this work eg. [https://pastebin.com/iWVxwweE](https://pastebin.com/iWVxwweE)(
   replacing location with event)
