Plugin Description

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.

Integrates with To Twitter from azurecurve for automatic tweeting of announcement each time the announcement is made and a retweet after a specified amount of time.
