What it does
The Events Calendar handles the work of creating and managing events, but its default listings may not fit every page or design. This add-on, titled Events Showcase For The Events Calendar, gives you more ways to present those same events. You can show upcoming conferences, festivals, classes or meetups as a simple list, a tidy grid or a moving carousel, and pick which events appear using filters so visitors see the ones that matter to them.
It works on top of The Events Calendar, which must be active on your site. You build a display, choose a layout and filters, adjust colors, fonts and display settings, then generate a shortcode to drop into a page or post. No coding is needed. Layouts and carousels are responsive, so they adapt to phones, tablets and desktops. There is also an option to determine event status by the event start date. It suits business sites, community pages and conference websites.
Best for
- Sites already using The Events Calendar
- Community groups and venues listing upcoming events
- Conference and festival websites

Questions about Eventful
Does this work without The Events Calendar?
No. It is an add-on for The Events Calendar and uses the events you create there. You need that plugin active on your site, and this one adds extra layouts, filters and shortcodes for displaying those events.
What layouts can I use to display events?
You can choose list, grid or carousel layouts. The carousel has three modes: Ticker, Centered and Standard. Each display can also be styled with your own colors, fonts and display settings.
Can I show only certain events on a page?
Yes. The filtering options let you select which events appear in a display. You can then place that filtered display on a page or post using a generated shortcode.
Will the event layouts look right on phones?
All of the layouts and carousels are responsive, so they adjust to different devices and screen sizes, including phones and tablets.
