Is there a way to display the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode with multiple variables? For example: [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”day-camp”, css_class=”event-boxes”]

I tried the above, but it’s not working. It’s still displaying all events and not just the category. The css_class variable is working though. Thanks

Hi,

Is this using EE3 or EE4?

I’m using EE4. Sorry about that.

And sorry about the “shortcake” in the title. Autocorrect on my mac 🙂 It should obviously say “shortcode”

I have fixed the shortcake title so no-one will ever know 😉

You’ll need to remove the comma between the parameters, so this should work:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”day-camp” css_class=”event-boxes”]

Also when copying and pasting shortcodes from here (or anywhere with formatting) be sure to paste the shortcode in ‘Text’ mode and check that no extra formatting has been copied with it (such as being wrapped in span tags)

Thanks,
Can I have 2 of those shortcakes on the same page? I want 2 sections on the page. Each section shows a specific category. Like the following…

Summer Camps Ages 9-18
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”day-camp” css_class=”event-boxes”]

Summer Camps Ages 5-8
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”youth-day-camp” css_class=”event-boxes”]

The first group shows up fine, but the second group is showing the events that belong in the first group and they get all out of order. They’re not ASC properly.

Thanks!
