How it works

EventON provides the filter `evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode` that lets you modify the shortcode arguments right before the upcoming events list is rendered.

Filter signature:

add_filter( 'evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'your_function_name', 10, 3 );
function your_function_name( $shortcode_args, $taxonomy_slug, $term_id ) { 
  // modify $shortcode_args here return $shortcode_args; 
}

add_filter( 'evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'your_function_name', 10, 3 );
function your_function_name( $shortcode_args, $taxonomy_slug, $term_id ) { 
  // modify $shortcode_args here return $shortcode_args; 
}

• $shortcode_args — array of shortcode parameters (what you want to change)
• $taxonomy_slug — current taxonomy (event_type, event_location, event_organizer, etc.)
• $term_id — ID of the current term/archive being viewed

Where to place the code

Paste your custom code in one of these locations (best practice order):

1. Child theme’s functions.php
2. Custom functionality plugin
3. Code Snippets plugin (recommended for non-developers)

Example: Basic customization

add_filter('evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'customize_eventon_tax_upcoming', 10, 3);

function customize_eventon_tax_upcoming($args, $taxonomy, $term_id) {

    // Apply changes to all taxonomy archive pages
    $args = array_merge($args, [
        'number_of_months'   => 6,           // look ahead 6 months
        'event_count'        => 10,          // show max 10 events
        'show_et_ft_img'     => 'yes',       // display featured images
        'eventtop_style'     => '2',         // clean / minimal layout
        'hide_mult_occur'    => 'yes',       // hide duplicate repeating events
        'hide_empty_months'  => 'yes',
        'ux_val'             => '3',         // open events in lightbox
        'show_location'      => 'yes',
        'show_etime'         => 'yes',       // show end time
        'show_year'          => 'no',
    ]);

    return $args;
}

add_filter('evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'customize_eventon_tax_upcoming', 10, 3);

function customize_eventon_tax_upcoming($args, $taxonomy, $term_id) {

    // Apply changes to all taxonomy archive pages
    $args = array_merge($args, [
        'number_of_months'   => 6,           // look ahead 6 months
        'event_count'        => 10,          // show max 10 events
        'show_et_ft_img'     => 'yes',       // display featured images
        'eventtop_style'     => '2',         // clean / minimal layout
        'hide_mult_occur'    => 'yes',       // hide duplicate repeating events
        'hide_empty_months'  => 'yes',
        'ux_val'             => '3',         // open events in lightbox
        'show_location'      => 'yes',
        'show_etime'         => 'yes',       // show end time
        'show_year'          => 'no',
    ]);

    return $args;
}

Conditional customization (recommended for most projects)

Apply changes only to specific taxonomies or even specific terms.

Example: Different style only for event locations

add_filter('evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'custom_location_archive_events', 10, 3);

function custom_location_archive_events($args, $taxonomy_slug, $term_id) {
    if ($taxonomy_slug !== 'event_location') {
        return $args;
    }

    $args['eventtop_style']     = '0';          // boxed style
    $args['show_et_ft_img']     = 'yes';
    $args['number_of_months']   = 4;
    $args['event_count']        = 8;
    $args['show_location']      = 'no';         // redundant on location archive
    $args['ux_val']             = '3a';         // lightbox + external link when available

    return $args;
}

add_filter('evo_tax_archieve_page_shortcode', 'custom_location_archive_events', 10, 3);

function custom_location_archive_events($args, $taxonomy_slug, $term_id) {
    if ($taxonomy_slug !== 'event_location') {
        return $args;
    }

    $args['eventtop_style']     = '0';          // boxed style
    $args['show_et_ft_img']     = 'yes';
    $args['number_of_months']   = 4;
    $args['event_count']        = 8;
    $args['show_location']      = 'no';         // redundant on location archive
    $args['ux_val']             = '3a';         // lightbox + external link when available

    return $args;
}

Most useful shortcode parameters for taxonomy archives

Read Shortcode Guide for more Shortcode Parameters.

Tips

• Use event_count when you want a fixed number of events instead of time-based.
• Combine hide_mult_occur=yes with event_count for cleaner lists.
• Test lightbox behavior (ux_val) — 3 is usually the best balance.
• If you want completely different content, consider overriding the template instead of just modifying the shortcode.

Important Warning: Downgrading can lead to data loss if not done carefully—always back up your site first. Older versions may lack bug fixes or compatibility with current WordPress. Contact support before downgrading to confirm if it’s necessary.

Prerequisites:

• Full site backup (database and files) using tools like UpdraftPlus, BackWPup, or your host’s backup system.
• WordPress admin access and FTP credentials (if manual method).
• EventON license key for reactivation.
• Knowledge of your current EventON version (check via Plugins > Installed Plugins).

For general setup help, see our Quick Starter Guide. If you’re new to EventON, start with the Installation Guide.

Method 1: Restore from a Backup (Recommended if Available)

If you backed up your site before updating EventON, this is the fastest and safest way to revert.

1. Access Your Backup:
   • Log in to your backup plugin (e.g., UpdraftPlus) or host’s control panel.
   • Select a backup from before the EventON update (check dates and notes).
2. Restore the Site:
   • Choose to restore plugins and database (EventON data is stored here).
   • Follow the restore instructions from your webhost—exclude unrelated files if possible to speed up.
   • Confirm the restore; your site may go into maintenance mode briefly.
3. Verify the Revert:
   • Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and check the EventON version.
   • Test your calendars and events to ensure everything works.

Tip: Always create a new backup before restoring. If using a host like SiteGround, use their built-in staging tools to test the revert without affecting your live site.

Note: This method reverts your entire site, not just EventON. If you only need to downgrade the plugin, use Method 2.

Method 2: Manually Downgrade EventON (Request Older Version from Support)

If you don’t have a pre-update backup, request an older version from our support team and install it manually.

1. Request the Older Version:
   • Email support at support@myeventon.com or submit a ticket with:
     • Your license key.
     • The specific version you want (e.g., “EventON 4.5.2”).
     • A brief reason for the request (helps us assist better).
   • We’ll send you a link to download ZIP file (e.g., eventon-4.5.2.zip) via email or in the ticket, usually within 24-48 hours.
2. Disable “Delete eventon settings & data when EventON is uninstalled”
   • In EventON Settings > General make sure this option is Off — otherwise all your eventON data will be deleted when eventON is deactivated.
3. Deactivate and Remove Current Version:
   • In WordPress, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins.
   • Deactivate EventON (this preserves your data).
   • Click Delete—confirm, but note: This removes files, not database data (events, settings).
4. Upload and Install the Older Version:
   • Use the automatic method (preferred):
     • Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
     • Select the older ZIP file and click Install Now.
   • Or manual (via FTP):
     • Unzip the file to get the eventon folder.
     • Upload to wp-content/plugins/ via FTP (overwrite if needed).
   • Activate the plugin.
5. Reactivate Your License:
   • Go to EventON > License, enter your key & email, and activate.

Warning: Downgrading without a backup risks data incompatibility (e.g., new features in database). Test on a staging site first. If events disappear, restore from backup.

Step 3: Verify and Test the Reverted Version

1. Check the version in Plugins > Installed Plugins.
2. Visit EventON > Settings to confirm options load.
3. Test frontend: View a calendar page (e.g., via [add_eventon]) and check events display correctly.
4. Clear cache (browser and plugins like WP Rocket) to see changes.

If issues persist, it may not be version-related—see All Events Not Showing.

Troubleshooting

• Activation Fails? Ensure your license is valid for the version—contact support.
• Data Loss? Restore from backup immediately. Older versions may not support new data structures.
• Conflicts? Deactivate other plugins one by one to isolate issues.
• No Email Response? Check spam folder or use the ticket system for faster tracking.

Next Steps

Once stable:

• Update Safely: When ready, update to the latest via Plugins > Installed Plugins. See Installation Guide for tips.
• Create Events: Add new ones with How to Add and Publish Events.
• Customize Calendars: Explore views in Calendar Display Types.
• Add Features: Use the Shortcode Generator or add locations with How to Add Locations to Events.

We recommend staying updated—older versions miss security patches. For personalized help, submit a support ticket or browse our Documentations.

The post Guide to Reverting to an Older Version of EventON first appeared on Documentation.

Key Benefits:

• Display interactive Google Maps in event cards.
• Reuse saved locations across events for consistency.
• Customize defaults for easier workflow.

Prerequisites:

• EventON version 5.0+ installed and activated (see Installation Guide).
• At least one event created (see How to Add and Publish Events).
• Admin access to WordPress and a Google Cloud account for API key.

For a full setup overview, check our Quick Starter Guide.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Google Maps API Key

EventON uses Google Maps for location mapping, so an API key is required for maps to display correctly. Without it, maps may appear grayed out or not load.

1. Get Your API Key:
   • Go to the Google Maps Platform.
   • Create a Google Cloud project if you don’t have one.
   • Enable the Maps JavaScript API in your project.
   • Generate an API key from the Credentials page (restrict it to your domain for security).
   • Note: You may need to set up billing, but Google offers a free tier for low usage.
2. Enter the API Key in EventON:
   • In your WordPress dashboard, go to EventON > Settings > Google Maps API.
   • Paste your API key into the Google Maps API Key (Required) field.
   • Optional: Toggle Disable Google Maps API if you don’t want maps loading (but enable for locations).
   • Click Save Changes.

Tip: If maps don’t load after saving, check for errors in your browser console or verify the key in Why is Location Google Map Grayed Out?. You can also customize map styles (e.g., Roadmap, Satellite) here.

Step 2: Adding a Location to an Event

Locations are added in the event editor and can be new or reused from saved ones.

1. Open the Event Editor:
   • Go to Events > All Events and click Edit on an existing event (or Add New).
2. Navigate to Location Section:
   • In the Main Event Details metabox (usually in the sidebar or below the editor), scroll to the Location tab.
3. Add or Select a Location:
   • New Location: Click Add New.

Location Options Explained.

Adding a New Location

• Enter the Location Name (e.g., “Conference Center”) and Address (full street address for accurate mapping).
• Add optional details: Latitude/Longitude (leave blank for auto-population), Location Image (upload via + button), Link for Location (e.g., venue website), Related Locations, and Location Type (e.g., venue, online).
• Click Save—if the Google Maps API is set, lat/lng will auto-populate using the address.
• Existing Location: Search and select from saved locations. Edit if needed (changes apply globally).

Adding new Location Options Explained.

Note: When editing a saved location, a Generate Location Coordinates button appears next to Save Changes to refresh lat/lng if the address changes.

Step 3: Enabling Google Maps for the Event

To display a map in the event card:

1. In the Location section, check the Generate Google Map option (under Location Options).
2. Optional: Enable Location Image, Hide Location Name, or Location Info over Location Image for custom display.

Step 4: Setting Default Options in EventON Settings

To make “Generate Google Map” checked by default for all new events:

1. Go to EventON > Settings > Location.
2. Look for the Enable generate google maps from address for all newly created events, by default.
3. Enable the option to auto-check Generate Google Map for locations.
4. Save changes.

This saves time when creating multiple events.

Step 5: Ensuring Location Displays in Event Cards

Locations won’t show until added to the event card layout:

1. Go to EventON > Settings > EventCard > EventCard Designer.
2. Drag the Location fields (Location, Location Image, Google Maps, Get Directions) into your layout (e.g., below description).
3. Save changes.

For more on customization, see How to Make Sure EventCard Data is Visible.

Step 6: Verifying Locations on the Calendar

1. Publish or update your event.
2. Add or view a calendar on a page using a shortcode like [add_eventon] (see Adding Calendar to Your Site).
3. On the frontend, click an event to expand the card—check for the address, map (if enabled), and image.
4. Test interactions: Click the map for zoom/directions (requires API key).
5. On mobile, ensure responsiveness.

If the map is grayed out or missing, revisit your API key or check browser console for errors (see Why is Location Google Map Grayed Out?).

Troubleshooting

• No Lat/Lng? Ensure API key is set and address is valid—use Generate Location Coordinates button.
• Map Not Showing? Confirm Generate Google Map is checked and location field is in EventCard Designer. Clear cache.
• API Errors? Check Google Cloud Console for quota issues or restrictions.
• Conflicts? Disable other map plugins or test with a default theme.

Next Steps

• Explore Calendar Types: Display locations in lists or maps with Calendar Display Types.
• Add Organizers: Similar process for organizers in How to Add and Publish Events.
• Enhance with Addons: For full event maps, try Events Map Addon.
• Customize Shortcodes: Use the Shortcode Generator for location-focused calendars.

Need more help? Browse our Documentation Hub or submit a support ticket. Happy mapping!

The post Adding Locations to Events first appeared on Documentation.

This guide focuses on core types available in EventON (no addons required). We’ll explain each, provide key shortcodes/parameters, and show how to modify your basic setup. Start by editing your existing shortcode or generating a new one in the WordPress editor.

Prerequisites:

• EventON installed and events created (see Quick Starter Guide or How to Add and Publish Events).
• Familiarity with shortcodes (review our General Shortcode Guide for all parameters).

For advanced customizations, like adding filters, check How to Set Up and Use the Filter Bar.

Main Monthly Calendar (Default with Event Tops)

The core monthly view shows one month of events as compact “event tops” (rows) that expand into event cards on click. This is your basic calendar upgraded with more options for filtering, layout, and interaction.

How to Modify from Basic:

• Edit your existing [add_eventon] shortcode.
• Add parameters for customization (e.g., limit events or add tiles).
• Use the Shortcode Generator: Select “Main Calendar” as the type, then tweak options like navigation or images.

Shortcode: [add_eventon]

Key Parameters (Build on Basics):

• cal_id (string/integer): Unique ID for multiple calendars (e.g., “main_cal”).
• event_type (integer): Filter by category IDs (comma-separated, e.g., “3,19”).
• event_count (integer): Limit events per month (e.g., “10”).
• month_incre (string): Offset start month (e.g., “+1” for next month).
• fixed_month & fixed_year (integer): Lock to a specific month/year (e.g., “10” and “2025”).
• hide_past (yes/no): Hide past events.
• event_order (ASC/DESC): Sort order.
• ft_event_priority (yes/no): Prioritize featured events.
• number_of_months (integer): Show multiple months (e.g., “3”).
• jumper (yes/no): Add month/year jumper dropdown.
• etc_override (yes/no): Use category colors instead of event colors.
• evc_open (yes/no): Open all event cards by default.
• ux_val (0-4): User interaction (e.g., “3” for lightbox popup).
• show_et_ft_img (yes/no): Show featured images on event tops.
• only_ft (yes/no): Display only featured events.
• tiles (yes/no): Switch to tile layout (modern grid); tile_count (integer) for tiles per row.
• hide_mult_occur (yes/no): Hide repeats in multi-month views; show_repeats (yes/no) to override.

Example Upgrade from Basic:

[add_eventon cal_id="main" event_count="5" hide_past="yes" ux_val="3" show_et_ft_img="yes" tiles="yes" tile_count="3"]

This creates a tiled monthly calendar with images, lightbox interaction, and only 5 future events.

Key Benefits:

• AI-powered suggestions for faster creation (available in EventON Full version).

If you’re new to EventON, check our Installation Guide first.

Step 1: Accessing FAQs in the Event Edit Page

• Navigate to your WordPress dashboard and open the event you want to edit (Events > All Events > Edit).
• In the Main Event Details section, scroll to the FAQs tab.

From here, you can add new FAQs or select existing ones.

“Tip: FAQs are stored globally, so reusing them promotes consistency across your site.”

Step 2: Adding a New FAQ

• Click Add New to open the lightbox form.
• Enter the Question (e.g., “What is the dress code?”).
• Enter the Answer (supports rich text, links, and basic formatting like bold or lists).
• Click Save to add it to the event.

This creates a reusable FAQ that can be selected in future events.

Step 3: Selecting and Reusing Existing FAQs

If you’ve added FAQs to other events, reuse them to avoid duplication:

• In the FAQs tab, click Select Existing FAQs.
• Search or browse the list of saved FAQs from all events.
• Check the boxes for the ones you want and click Add Selected.

Editing Reused FAQs: After selecting, you can edit the question or answer inline.

“Warning: Changes to a reused FAQ update it everywhere it’s used. If you edit the question text, it creates a new FAQ entry to prevent breaking links.”

This is ideal for common questions like parking info or COVID policies.

Step 4: Displaying FAQs on the Event Card

By default, FAQs won’t appear until you add them to the layout:

• Go to EventON > Settings > EventCard > EventCard Designer.
• Drag the FAQ data field into your desired position in the event card layout (e.g., below the description).
• Save changes.

Learn more in our EventCard Designer Guide.

How FAQs Appear on the Frontend

Once saved, FAQs show as an accordion on the event page, single event lightbox, or calendar view:

• Styling matches your theme, with options for customization via CSS.
• The first FAQ is expanded by default.
• Users click questions to expand/collapse others.

Using AI Assist to Generate FAQs

EventON 5.0 includes AI-powered suggestions to speed up creation:

• Enable AI in EventON > Settings > Third Party APIs > OpenAI (included in Full version; requires an API key if needed).
• Back in the event edit page, bottom right corner, find the AI Assist button. — AI features on eventON
• The AI uses the event’s title and description to suggest set number of FAQs.
• Review and add the suggestions with one click.

“Note: AI suggestions are based on OpenAI —review for accuracy and privacy. Disable if not needed to save resources.”

Troubleshooting and Tips

• FAQs not showing? Double-check the event card layout and clear cache (e.g., via WP Rocket or browser).
• Too many FAQs? Limit to 5-7 per event for best UX.
• Common Issues: If reuse fails, ensure no plugin conflicts (test by disabling others).
