Hi Mike,

Update: EE4 has a shortcode parameter that lets you start the display for a month in the future:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-calendar-add-on/#ee4usage

While there is not a shortcode parameter for EE3’s calendar that does this, you can add one line of code to change the first month that gets displayed. This is for the current version of the calendar plugin: v.2.1:

Another Update:

Newer versions of WordPress have the wp_add_inline_script() functions, so no need to alter the calendar’s code directly as previously mentioned. Instead, you add this code to your website:

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/18dc736a58c2f95ca1858293cfea7e6e

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

Note that January = 0, so March is 2.

The function reference:

Hi Mike,

That’s correct, modifying the code in that way will make every instance of the calendar go to that page.

However, looking at this it is quite simple to add in a shortcode parameter to change the behaviour.

https://gist.github.com/Apina/8051946 Does that. it requires a line change in the espresso-calendar.php (it provides the full file) and also a line added to the espresso_calendar.js, hopefully the instructions are clear.

I will make a request (though I cannot guarantee it will be accepted) for this or something similar to be added to the core calendar.

Hi Mike,

If you are using version 2.1 of the calendar you can just copy all the code and replace it in the espresso-calendar.php file.

The JavaScript will need to be added to the other file as well, the same place Josh told you to place it, but this line si a little different to the one Josh suggested.

$('#espresso_calendar').fullCalendar( 'gotoDate', eeCAL.custom_year, eeCAL.custom_month);

It looks like my suggestion is being considered for future calendar updates, but yeah if you update the calendar and the feature hasn’t been added you will lose the changes made.

Thanks for the feedback over the calendar, and I’m really happy you like it, we have tried to make it cleaner and faster
