Eventixa includes several built-in shortcodes that allow you to display events and Eventixa pages anywhere on your WordPress website. Simply add a shortcode to any page, post, or widget, and Eventixa will automatically display the corresponding content.
Note: During the Setup Wizard, Eventixa automatically creates the required pages and inserts the appropriate shortcodes. In most cases, you won’t need to add them manually.
Using a Shortcode
Adding a shortcode is simple.
- Go to Pages → Add New or edit an existing page.
- Paste the desired shortcode into the page content.
- Publish or update the page.
- Visit the page on the frontend to verify the output.
