Hello,
I’m new to EE and would like to create a custom query that lists all events on my front page with the appropriate metadata. What is the best way to do this? I’ve tried the EVENTLIST shortcode, but this was not parsed as a shortcode when added to the page’s content. I need to list:
1. Title
2. Duration
3. Location
4. Featured image.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Using: Event Espresso – 4.1.10

Hi, unfortunately the event list shortcode won’t run for Event Espresso 4 because it is for Event Espresso 3. There is a similar shortcode available:
Show a list of all of your events
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS]
You can view the options available for this shortcode in WordPress admin –> Event Espresso –> Help & Support.
Let me know if that one runs on your front page.

Thanks for the tip. This shortcode definitely runs on the homepage, but it’s output is very verbose listing all of the info for each event. Is there any way to query for all events + meta data and only display the needed info? I only need the following displayed:
1. Title
2. Duration
3. Location
4. Featured image.

Hello,
The shortcodes don’t have separate templates for themselves. If you made the needed customizations to the templates, then they would apply to your shortcodes and other front end pages for Event Espresso.
With that mentioned, you should be able to hide most of that information on only that page by using some CSS that uses the post id + classes and ids for Event Espresso content.
What is the URL for the page?
