Hi Karen,
What you could do is set up a new events page using shortcodes. So for example if your 3 event categories are webinars, trainings, and conferences you’ll add the following shortcodes to a WordPress page:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=webinars]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=trainings]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=conferences]

Please note that if you’re using other add-ons like the Table template to display the event, the shortcodes will be different than the above.

Hi Karen,

The above link works for me but I’m guessing not as expected?

What should be shown on the above?

Ah, ok, now I understand.

It looks like you have the EE ‘Event Slug’ option set to ‘event-registration’ which in effect means the above link doesn’t go to a ‘page’ (even if you have a page with that slug, WordPress will ignore it in favour of the post type archive, which is what shows currently) it goes to an archive.

So to use your page above (assuming you have one with the same slug currently) you’d need to either change the slug of the page to something else and direct your users there, or change the EE event slug and direct users to /event-registration/ which would then display the page, and not the archive.

I have the the slugs placed on the page and have the headings on the page. Unfortunately only the headings show up.

Can you reply and include the shortcodes placed on that page? They may not have the correct syntax.

Also to reroute people to this page will I need to use a plugin like “Redirection”?

Not necessarily, but you could use the Redirection plugin if there’s a older page that you want to redirect them away from.
You could add the new page as an item to the site’s navigation menu. Also, if you want that page to be linked to from the event cart, you can add a code snippet to direct them to that URL instead of the /event-registration/ page. This is an example you could add to a site functions plugin:

function act_mer_change_event_list_url(){
	return 'https://actmissouri.org/event-reg/';
}

add_filter( 'FHEE__EED_Multi_Event_Registration__set_definitions__events_list_url', 'act_mer_change_event_list_url' );

Oh OK, that’s a simple fix. You can change those to:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=webinar]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=training]
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=conference]

The reason nothing was showing up is because your site doesn’t have events assigned to a “trainings” category, but there are events assigned to a “training” category, for example.
