The Events Calendar Shortcode and Templates Pro is a premium WordPress plugin designed to bridge the gap between the core “The Events Calendar” functionality and your site’s design. While the free version of the calendar is powerful, it can be notoriously difficult to display events exactly where you want them without code; this plugin fixes that.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page Live Demo
Shortcode Engine: Uses [events-calendar-templates] to embed event feeds anywhere (posts, pages, or sidebar widgets).
Gutenberg Native: Includes a dedicated “Events Block” with a live preview and sidebar configuration toggle.
Page Builder Support: Native widgets/elements for Elementor, Bricks, and Beaver Builder.
Deep Integration: Specifically built to fetch and style data from The Events Calendar (free and Pro versions).
The Pro version unlocks several high-end display templates that the free version lacks:
Grid & Masonry: Card-style layouts perfect for visual-heavy events.

Monthly Calendar View: Embed a full-sized calendar mini-grid inside a blog post or page.
