When I try to use the Events Grid View Template it is showing the code itself i had it one time showing them but it wasn’t in a grid it was in a straight line down.

Hi there,
I checked your website and the shortcode you see there,
[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name="grid" sort="ASC" order_by="start_date"]
is actually for the Event Espresso 3 event custom view add-on. You’ll need to use the Events Grid View Template add-ons shortcode instead. Here’s a link to the documentation that shows how to use that add-on:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/events-grid-view-template-add-on/#ee4usage
The simplest form of the shortcode is as follows:
[ESPRESSO_GRID_TEMPLATE]

Ok that is why it worked once then didn’t work when i was playing with it. Now I have that one back there and it is putting them in a line downwards and not in a grid.

The reason for the layout issue is because the shortcode is being used within a widget area. The shortcode is really only intended to be used within the main content section of a page or post. You can work around that limitation by manually enqueueing the Grid add-on’s assets. Are you familiar with how to add a function to either the theme’s functions.php file or into a site specific plugin?

I can probably do either with instructions. Is it listed somewhere how to.

You add this code to your website:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'mtc_add_grid_scripts_to_home_page', 11);
function mtc_add_grid_scripts_to_home_page() {
if(is_front_page() && class_exists('EES_Espresso_Grid_Template')){
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', array('EES_Espresso_Grid_Template', 'enqueue_scripts'), 12);
}
}
You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file. We recommend the plugin method so you won’t lose your changes when you update your WordPress theme.
