It can display your events using available calendar or listing views and helps visitors find upcoming events more easily. > **Available in:** Eventixa Core > **Settings:** Eventixa → Settings → Display > **Related features:** Event Categories, Venues, Event Views, Filters ## How the Event Archive Works Published Eventixa events can appear in the frontend event archive according to your display settings. The archive can show information such as: - Event image - Event title - Date and time - Event category - Venue - Event status - Registration information - Recurring event indicators where applicable The exact presentation depends on the selected view and Eventixa display configuration. ## Event Archive Views Eventixa supports multiple event browsing views. Available views can include: - List - Month - Day - Grid - Map The views available to visitors depend on which options are enabled in Eventixa settings. ![Eventixa frontend event archive in list view](https://eventixawp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/eventixa-event-archive-list-view.jpg) The Eventixa event archive lets visitors browse published events using the enabled frontend views. ## Configure Available Views Go to: `Eventixa → Settings → Display` or use the corresponding setup options from the Setup Guide. Choose which views should be available on the event archive. For example, you may enable: - List - Month - Day and leave other views disabled. ![Eventixa display settings for event archive views](https://eventixawp.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/eventixa-display-settings-views.jpg) Choose the available archive views and default desktop and mobile views from Eventixa display settings. ## Default View The **Default View** controls which event view opens first when a visitor loads the event archive. For example: | Default View | Best suited for | | --- | --- | | List | General event directories | | Month | Calendar-focused websites | | Day | Sites with many events on individual dates | | Grid | Visual event browsing | | Map | Location-focused event discovery | Choose the view that best matches how visitors normally browse your events. ## Mobile Default View Eventixa can also use a separate default view for mobile devices. This allows you to provide a simpler browsing experience on smaller screens. For example: - Desktop Default View: Month - Mobile Default View: List This can make event browsing easier on phones. ## Event Cards and Listing Information Depending on the selected view, Eventixa can display event information such as: - Featured image - Title - Event date - Start time - Category - Venue - Event status Recurring events can also display recurrence information where supported. ## Event Filters Filters help visitors narrow the event archive. Depending on the enabled Eventixa functionality, visitors can filter events using available criteria such as: - Category - Venue - Organizer - Date-related options Enable filters when your website contains enough events that visitors would benefit from narrowing the list. ## Events Per Page The **Events Per Page** setting controls how many events appear before pagination is used. For example: | Setting | Result | | --- | --- | | 6 | Six events per page | | 10 | Ten events per page | | 20 | Twenty events per page | Use a value that keeps the page easy to browse without making it excessively long. ## Pagination When the number of published events exceeds the configured events-per-page value, visitors can use pagination to move through additional events. Pagination helps maintain performance and keeps large event directories manageable. ## Categories in Event Listings Event categories help visitors understand the type of event being displayed. Examples include: - Conference - Workshop - Webinar - Networking - Community For detailed category management, see **How to Create and Manage Event Categories in Eventixa**. ## Venue Information in Listings For in-person events, listing layouts can use venue information to help visitors understand where an event takes place. Venue details come from the venue assigned to the event. For detailed venue setup, see **How to Create and Manage Event Venues in Eventixa**. ## Recurring Events in Listings > **Requires Eventixa Pro** Recurring events can display occurrence-aware schedule information in Eventixa listings. Depending on the view, visitors can see information such as: - Next occurrence - Recurring status - Upcoming occurrences The recurrence rules themselves are managed from the event editor. ## Published, Upcoming and Past Events Eventixa uses event schedule information together with publication status to determine how events are presented. An event can appear as: - Upcoming - Ongoing - Past Only properly published events should normally appear in public event listings. ## Event Search Where available, visitors can use search controls to find events more quickly. Search is especially useful for websites with: - Many events - Long event archives - Multiple categories - Multiple venues Use clear event titles so search results are meaningful. ## Frontend Listing Best Practices For a clean event archive: - Use consistent featured images. - Keep event titles clear. - Assign meaningful categories. - Use accurate venue information. - Avoid unnecessary duplicate events. - Keep dates and times correct. - Use the most appropriate default view for your audience. ## If an Event Does Not Appear Check: 1. The event is published. 2. The event date is valid. 3. The archive view is configured correctly. 4. Active filters are not hiding the event. 5. The event belongs to the expected category or venue. 6. Cached frontend content has been refreshed. ## If the Wrong View Opens Go to: `Eventixa → Settings → Display` Review the configured **Default View** and **Default Mobile View**. Save the settings and reload the archive. ## If Filters Do Not Appear Check that: - Filters are enabled. - Relevant filterable data exists. - Events have categories, venues, or other supported values assigned. ## Related Documentation - [WordPress Event Management with Eventixa](https://eventixawp.com/docs/events-overview/) - [How to Create an Event in WordPress with Eventixa](https://eventixawp.com/docs/creating-an-event/) - [How to Create and Manage Event Categories in Eventixa](https://eventixawp.com/docs/event-categories/) - [How to Create and Manage Event Venues in Eventixa](https://eventixawp.com/docs/venues/) - [Single Event Page](https://eventixawp.com/docs/single-event-page/)
