Events v1.3.3 Released

Events allows events such as webinars or conferences to be created via a custom post type; categories, excerpt, details, start and end dates and times and a featured image are all supported.

In the options set defaults for the widget and shortcode.

Multiple widgets can be created, each assigned to display a category; settings for title, image size and limit for number of events to list can be set per widget.

The event shortcode accepts three parameters:

• slug to select specific event.
• width to set the size of the featured image.
• height to set the size of the featured image.

Shortcode usage is [event slug="december-2021" width=150 height=150]; all parameters are optional and will use the defaults set via the settings page if not supplied.

The events shortcode accepts four parameters:

• category to restrict the output to the selected category.
• width to set the size of the featured image.
• height to set the size of the featured image.
• limit to restrict the number of events to display.

Shortcode usage is [events category="webinars" width=150 height=150 limit=5]; all parameters are optional and will use the defaults set via the settings page.
