# Insert event within custom page

 * I’m working with Events Manager and trying to include my event into a custom 
   page. I’ve created a page template using the standard “if have posts” syntax 
   as well as WP_Query referencing a specific category (which is how I normally 
   create custom pages). I’ve tried entering an [event] shortcode, but so far have
   had no success.
 * Can someone point me to documentation that covers this scenario?
 * Thank you – Joe

 * I figured out a solution (that forces me to change the link to the page) although
   I still would like to know the recommended route.
