I am attempting to create a loop on the homepage which works fine here http://www.webbuster.us/query.php however when we apply this loop to the live site it fails. As well we are trying to split the Date short format split in two css class.

Hi Robert,

Could you explain in a bit more detail about what you are trying to achieve please? Are you trying to do something with the template files or with the JSON API?

I am trying to display a loop of the 3 most recent event on the home page of this site http://cawpc.staging.wpengine.com/ . I would like to split the dates so the css. displays in the circles.

I am working with the template files.

Hi,

Well, one way to do it would be to set up a page (or wherever) and use the shortcode [EVENT_LIST limit=3]. This will just list the next 3 upcoming events.

You could turn off the themeroller settings to allow you to style the events a little cleaner (this will effect all events site wide).

Regarding the CSS, well you could change the template code to something like this:

<p id="event_date-<?php echo $event_id ?>"><span class="section-title"><?php echo event_date_display($start_date, 'M'."<b\\r/>".'d') ?></span></p>

Which will output the short month, a line break and then the numerical day, which can then be styled accordingly.
