# [event_blocks event=””] Shortcode Bug

 * G’day,
    I’ve come across a bug with the [events_block] shortcode. It will only
   display publicly with the ‘ID’ variable. When ‘Event’ is used it is only visible
   to Admin users. The table is still created for all users – its just that the 
   content isn’t populated into the table.
 * As suggested here for single events ([https://support.themeboy.com/article/106-event-blocks-shortcode](https://support.themeboy.com/article/106-event-blocks-shortcode)),
   the Event version of the shortcode is far more useful. Are you able to suggest
   a quick fix for this, or add it to the next update?
 * Kind regards,
    TCHOP

 * Hi there!
 * Thanks for reaching out and I’m sorry for the trouble.
 * My name is Roch and I’m going to help you with your plugin support issues.
 * Would you mind sending us a link to your site? Maybe we can see some metadata
   about your shortcode and why it isn’t loading any content.
 * We have no reports of other users facing the same issue, so this could be isolated
   to your install.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
 * I’ve just modified the below page to demonstrate the issue. I’ve tried it on 
   a number of test WP sites that I have and the bug appears on them all.
 * There are three widgets across the top of this page. The first one is just a 
   custom html box. The middle one is using the Event Blocks widget and the third
   is calling the [event-blocks event=””] shortcode. I’m not worried about the style–
   just why the shortcode is restricted to only admins.
 * This is what the page looks like for admins:

 * This is a link to the page for public view:
    [http://tchopstudios.com/eaglesfc/](http://tchopstudios.com/eaglesfc/)
 * The page has no restrictions.
 * Thanks for your help,
    TCHOP

 * Hi!
 * Thanks a lot for that!
 * It looks like you are using a custom theme. How it works when you use Rookie 
   or another default theme (such as twenty seventeen)?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Roch,
 * Please see below for a fresh installation of wordpress with the twenty seventeen
   theme running without any customisation.
 * The same bug occurs for the [event_blocks event””] shortcode as mentioned above.
   Displays for Admin, but is not visible for any other users.
