I added the shortcode [ecs-list-events] to my page but it doesn’t work. It shows the shortcode as content. The page is donnyrod.com using Divi theme and most recent WordPress

Hi @donneljo!

Can you confirm you have this plugin (The Events Calendar Shortcode) installed and activated? You should see something like this when you go to Plugins on your WordPress admin area:

@donneljo great that the events do show up but that sidebar widget is from The Event Calendar rather than this separate shortcode plugin that works with it. If I take a look at your site it appears this “The Events Calendar Shortcode” plugin isn’t installed, since:

http://donnyrod.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/readme.txt

is found (the calendar itself) yet:

http://donnyrod.com/wp/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar-shortcode/readme.txt

(this plugin) is not found. Can you:

1) Go to Plugins then Add New on your site
2) Search for The Events Calendar Shortcode (by ‘Event Calendar Newsletter’)
3) Install then activate the plugin
4) Try the [ecs-list-events] shortcode again?
