Hi @fra11,
This would be a custom feature. Currently the calendar doesn’t exactly work this way, but there are alternatives.
You can use a shortcode to display a limited number of events (2) and filter them in various ways, then, you can add a button below it that says “Events” which links to your full calendar.
See this guide for shortcodes:
https://time.ly/document/user-guide/using-calendar/display-multiple-calendars-site/
An example would be like:
[ai1ec view=”posterboard” events_limit=”2″]

thank you. Also i need to view only the last two events that i have insert. How can i set up this? And to add a button below it that says “Events” which links to my full calendar: is it possible to do this to insert a shortcode of the plugin or with a shortcode to add in style.css
Thank u
Hi @fra11,
There is no way to filter by post date (the date/time that you created the event).
By default, the calendar will display the events in chronological order of the event date (when the event is set to occur). So it will always show the next upcoming events, starting from today.
Alternatively, you can tag the 2 events you wish to display (such as “featured”). Then filter the calendar by that particular tag, to display just those 2 events, like this:
[ai1ec events_limit=”2″ tag_name=”featured”]

Hi @fra11,
What shortcode are you using to display the calenadr on this page?
Also, do you have a default start date set in Events > Settings > Viewing Events tab?
Generally, the calendar loads newest events in chronological order.

Can you provide the answers to my last 2 questions:
What shortcode are you using to display the calenadr on this page?
Also, do you have a default start date set in Events > Settings > Viewing Events tab?

i have some category events, but now it is setting only one .. understand?
Hi @fra11,
If your question is how to add more categories to your shortcode, you can do it like this:
Filter by event category names (separate names by comma):
[ai1ec cat_name=”Halloween, Thanksgiving Day”]
See this page for more options:
https://time.ly/document/user-guide/using-calendar/display-multiple-calendars-site/
Also, your calendar is set up to start showing past events starting from this date:
1/1/2017

Hi @fra11,
You have to remove this setting under Events > Settings > Viewing Events tab >

but now i do not see the events in the home page and on events page i see only the last one events not the past events.
Hi @fra11,
The calendar will display event starting from today, or, you default start date, and only in chronological order. You can’t display the evetns in reverse chronological order. You can display your last events by giving them a category display that category with the shortcode in my previous message.
