FooEvents shortcodes kunt u overal drop evenement informatie, ticket formulieren, en kalenders in uw WordPress site zonder aangepaste codering. Ze zijn flexibel, beginnersvriendelijk, en geven je controle over hoe evenement inhoud wordt weergegeven. Deze gids leidt je door de belangrijkste shortcodes, wanneer je ze moet gebruiken en waar je extra hulp kunt vinden.

Introduction

If you’ve spent time setting up events with FooEvents, you’ve probably noticed that sometimes you want more control over where things appear. Maybe you want to display a calendar on your homepage, or insert an event’s ticket form into a landing page. That’s where FooEvents shortcodes come in handy.

Shortcodes are simple text snippets wrapped in square brackets—no programming required. Once you know the basics, you can start mixing them into your posts and pages like a pro.

What Are FooEvents Shortcodes?

WordPress shortcodes are placeholders that automatically pull in dynamic content. FooEvents includes its own set, designed specifically for events, tickets, and bookings.

[fooevents_events_list]

Drop that in a page or post, and you’ll instantly get a simple list of all your events—no need to copy/paste HTML.

Why Use Them?

Shortcodes are useful when:

• You want event content outside the default WooCommerce product page
• You’re building landing pages and need only certain event details
• You’re customizing layouts without editing theme files

They’re flexible but still safe—if you remove a shortcode, the content disappears, but your event data stays intact.

Other FooEvents Shortcodes

Below are some of the most popular shortcodes from the FooEvents Shortcodes Help Doc:

Event Calendar

[fooevents_calendar]

Displays an interactive calendar showing upcoming events. Handy for dedicated “Events” pages.

Simple Event Product

[fooevents_event product=123]

Display the image and description of a specific event using the event id. Lets you drop event information into any page.

Tips for Using Shortcodes

• Test on a draft page first. Shortcodes don’t break your site, but previewing ensures the layout works.
• Combine with columns or page builders. Shortcodes fit inside most block or builder layouts.
• Use clear page names. If you’re creating multiple ticketing or calendar pages, give them simple URLs like /event-calendar of /book-class.

[Note: FooEvents shortcodes work with Classic Editor and most page builders. For Block Editor (Gutenberg), add them via a “Shortcode” block.]

Troubleshooting

• Nothing shows? Double-check that you have installed the FooEvents Kalender-invoegtoepassing on your website and that your event has tickets and dates set up.
• Wrong event? Make sure the id="123" matches the correct product ID.
• Formatting looks off? Some themes override shortcode styling—test with a default theme to isolate issues.

FAQ

Q: Can I use multiple shortcodes on the same page?
Yes—stack them or use columns. For example, put a calendar above a ticket form.

Q: Do shortcodes work in widgets?
Yes, most widget areas (like sidebars) will process shortcodes. Use the “Text” or “Shortcode” widget.

Q: Can I style the output?
Definitely. Shortcodes generate HTML you can target with CSS in your theme or child theme.
