Placing Blocks
Eventonomy ships nine blocks in the Free plan (and nine more in Pro). You add them to any WordPress page or post with the Block Editor, just like any core Gutenberg block.
What You Will Learn

Finding the Blocks

Shortcodes
If you use the Classic Editor or a page builder that does not support Gutenberg blocks, every block has an equivalent shortcode:
| Shortcode | Equivalent block |
|---|---|
[eventonomy_calendar view="month"] |
eventonomy/calendar |
[eventonomy_events per_page="6" view="list" category="music"] |
eventonomy/events-list |
[eventonomy_upcoming count="3"] |
eventonomy/upcoming |
[eventonomy_event id="42"] |
eventonomy/single-event |
[eventonomy_my_events] |
eventonomy/my-events |
[eventonomy_search] |
eventonomy/search-filter |
[eventonomy_submit event_id="0" redirect_url="/events/"] |
eventonomy/event-editor |
Recommended Page Setup
The activation wizard creates the two required pages automatically. If you need to set them up manually:
Events page - Create a page, add the eventonomy/search-filter block at the top, then eventonomy/events-list below it. This gives visitors both search and browsing in one place.
My Events page - Create a page and add only the eventonomy/my-events block. That block contains the full dashboard shell (overview, create, list, attending). Mark this page as requiring login with your membership plugin or a redirect rule.
