Simply reinstating them solved the problem. * Regards. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!] no events menu in backend](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-events-menu-in-backend/) * [ajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajmo/) * (@ajmo) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-events-menu-in-backend/#post-8258046) * OK I have disabled all plugins, except events, and reverted to the Twenty Thirteen theme (I had a modified child).

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. * Regards, * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!] Past events – Events Manager](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/past-events-events-manager/) * Thread Starter [ajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajmo/) * (@ajmo) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/past-events-events-manager/#post-6291996) * Hi angelo, I am grateful for your reply, I had appreciated the point you made. So my question is: * Is it possible to display events in more than one format on differing pages? * If this requires some customisation I am happy to have a crack at that. However from what I have read this does not seem to be possible because talk in the codex refers to ‘over riding’ templates rather than adding additional. Or is this simply a semantic miss understanding on my part? * Regards, * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!] Past events – Events Manager](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/past-events-events-manager/) * Thread Starter [ajmo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajmo/) * (@ajmo) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/past-events-events-manager/#post-6291958) * 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, Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
