Events Shortcodes & Block Pro For The Events Calendar is an advanced WordPress addon that extends the display capabilities of the popular The Events Calendar plugin. Designed by CoolPlugins, this addon allows you to display event listings anywhere on your website using shortcodes and Gutenberg blocks, without needing to modify theme files or write custom code.
The plugin is aimed at event organizers, venue managers, educational institutions, marketing agencies, and website owners who need to present their events in a more professional and conversion-oriented way. With over 10,000 active websites using it, it has established itself as a reliable solution for those looking to go beyond standard calendar pages.
Among its main features, it stands out for offering multiple presentation layouts: list, grid, carousel, slider, masonry, accordion, and timeline. Each of these formats is fully customizable in terms of colors, typography, and styles, allowing events to visually integrate with your brand identity. Additionally, it includes a dedicated block for the Gutenberg editor that facilitates visual configuration without handling shortcode attributes.
The plugin offers powerful filtering and organization options. You can display events by category, organizer, venue, or tag, as well as highlight featured events with special designs. It also allows filtering by date range, showing only future or past events, and controlling the order and number of visible events. The search bar and advanced filters on the frontend help visitors quickly find the events they are interested in.
For sites with many events, it includes AJAX loading functionality with a "load more" button and pagination, avoiding page reloads. SEO schema support for events helps search engines better understand your content, improving visibility in search results. The plugin is fully responsive, ensuring an optimal experience on mobile devices, tablets, and desktops.
Thanks to its shortcode-based nature, the plugin is compatible with major page builders such as Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Beaver Builder, as well as most WordPress themes. This makes it a versatile tool for creating dynamic event sections on homepages, landing pages, widgets, or any area that supports shortcodes.
