Title: Event spanning multiple days Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Event spanning multiple days * Resolved [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/) * Hello, I have an empty page that Events Manager is targeting to display a calendar, so no shortcodes, etc. are being used. On that page displays the calendar with events, but events that span multiple days are only displaying on the start date. * How do I display the full span on each day the event takes place? * I understand “Show Long Events” may have an impact, but I cannot locate that option anywhere within the plugin’s settings or on the entry itself. * I’m using WordPress v3.5.1 and Events Manager v5.5.52 with full admin privileges. * Thanks * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Plugin Support [angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/) * (@angelo_nwl) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938333) * try events > settings > pages > event list/archives > Are current events past events * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938352) * Yes, I did set that, but the week-spanning event in question takes place in June, so it’s not a past event. * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938357) * Can you post a link to where this is happening?

The event in question is July 7-11. * Thanks * Plugin Support [angelo_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/angelo_nwl/) * (@angelo_nwl) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938397) * try shortcode [events_calendar full=1 long_events=1] * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938405) * No impact.

Thanks. * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938435) * Sure. * I have identified a page within the Settings -> Pages -> Event List/Archives - > Events page, that the plugin uses to display the calendar. Within the large textarea on this entry I placed the shortcode you provided. * No impact. * Thanks * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938436) * Perhaps an simpler approach would be to tell me where I can find “Show Long Events” within the Settings. * Events Manager v5.5.52 * Thanks. * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938446) * There’s no Show Long Events option in the settings for calendars. * Given what you’ve said above, I think you may be putting the shortcode in the wrong place. Is the calendar page linked to above your main events page? * Try using the shortcode in a normal page, not within the settings. Does it show what you want then? * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938447) * I see. I mentioned above that I’m using the blank entry identified in the settings, and no shortcodes. * Whether the shortcode works on a normal page or not, I have no desire to place the calendar on a normal page, or in a custom template, just the empty page I’m targeting in the settings – simple. * Is there no way to have the calendar display a span of dates for a given event using the targeted empty page? * Thanks * [caimin_nwl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caimin_nwl/) * (@caimin_nwl) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938457) * Please can you do the test I mentioned in my last reply – even if you don’t intend to use it permanently. I need you to help me test the shortcode so I can work what may be wrong here. Thanks. * Thread Starter [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * (@dbigca) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938463) * I removed the target page in the plugin settings and placed the shortcode in the entry field. It works as expected. * I believe it should also work the other way – much simpler for the non-tech-savy user – but this will suffice. * Thanks Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) The topic ‘Event spanning multiple days’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/events-manager/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3550347) * [Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/reviews/) * 13 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [dbigca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dbigca/) * Last activity: [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-spanning-multiple-days/#post-4938463) * Status: resolved
