Ok as you probably guessed I am a novice at this. After much flapping around I have alighted on a solution. I have written a custom shortcode function as follows:

function my_shortcodef($atts) {
if (class_exists(‘EM_Events’)) {
$events = EM_Events::get( array( ‘scope’=>’past’, ‘limit’=>1, ‘orderby’=>’name’) );
foreach ($events as $event) {
echo ($event->event_name).’
‘;
echo ($event->post_content).’
‘;
echo ‘——————————————————————
‘;}}}

As you can see it lacks formatting but I can at least get hold of the data.

Hope this approach is supportable.

Hi caiman_nwl,

Thanks your reply, apologise my delay in so doing. I was aware of being able to do that in the events list. I want to keep the events list format as is for one page, but separately show a single event itself (the most recent one that has taken place ) on a separate page, using something like:-
[event scope=”past” ] but this does not work since this shortcode requires a postid to pick up a specific event. Even then I would like to be able to format this event differently from future events (e.g. not showing date/time/map etc).

An alternative that I understand is not possible is to have a second template for the events_list.

—-perhaps I am hoping for too much.

Regards,
