Hi,
How can i limit the list of events under a specific category using shortcode [EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”abc”] . Currently this shortcode [EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”st%e2%80%a2art-1334218016″] is listing all the events but i want only to list latest 2 events .How can i do it ?

Hi there,

You should be able to use:

[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=st%e2%80%a2art-1334218016 limit=2]

EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY is basically a wrapper for EVENT_LIST.

Thanks for your reply .
Can we just show normal lists without any register buttons or so .I mean i just want to show the name of the event not any graphics or register button .

One way to show a list without any register buttons would be to make edits to the event_list_display.php & event_list.php templates. There’s more information about how to do that in the documentation:

Thanks Josh,
How can we do ascending and descending in shortcodes ?
Will it work : [EVENT_LIST event_category_id=st%e2%80%a2art-1334218016 limit=2 DESC]

I can point you to the documentation which includes all the syntax for filtering and ordering:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-list

Please note when you set sort you will also need to set order_by.
