Hi there,

Thank you for your question.
Are you using Premier, or another theme?

Hi @lsyfc,

Good question. Moving from Football Club to SportsPress, we’ve decided to create separate post types for what used to exist only as shortcodes.

For example, league table attributes used to be contained within shortcodes. To edit the league table, you would need to edit the shortcode and change the values manually, or delete it and create a new one. This would of course be more tedious if the league table appeared in more than one place.

In SportsPress, you only need to create the league table once. Then, you can adjust the attributes directly, and use the provided shortcode to insert that league table in posts, pages, and text widgets.

I hope this makes sense! The shortcode documentation will be for manual input, because shortcodes are already provided via Calendars, League Tables, and Player Lists.

Hi Thomas,

Here are some examples of shortcode usage:

Countdown

[countdown id=“99” live=“1”]

Event Results

[event_results id="99" show_outcomes => "1"]

Event Details

[event_details id="99"]

Event Performance

[event_performance id="99"]

Event Calendar

[event_calendar id="99" status="future" initial="0" caption_tag="h3" show_all_events_link="1"]

Event List

[event_list id="99" status="future" order="ASC" show_all_events_link="1"]

Event Blocks

[event_blocks id="99" status="publish" order="DESC" show_all_events_link="1"]

League Table

[league_table id="99" number="10" show_full_table_link="1" show_team_logo="0" link_posts="1" sortable="1" responsive="1" paginated="1"]

Player List

[player_list id="99" number="10" orderby="goals" order="DESC" show_all_players_link="1" link_posts="1" sortable="1" responsive="1" paginated="1"]

Player Gallery

[player_gallery id="99" number="10" orderby="default" order="ASC" itemtag="dl" icontag="dt" captiontag="dd" size="thumbnail" show_all_players_link="1" link_posts="1"]

Hope this helps for now. The documentation will be ready soon.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re looking into a bulk create tool (for training schedules and regular season events). I’ll let you know when we have released a version that has this tool.

Hi there,

Leagues and seasons are custom taxonomies, similar to post categories and tags. The way to bulk add teams to a league is:

1. From the dashboard sidebar menu, go to Teams.
2. Select the checkboxes next to the teams that you want to add to a league.
3. Select “Bulk Actions” from the dropdown at the top of the checkbox column.
4. Click “Apply”
5. Select the league that you want to add the teams to, and save changes.

Hope this helps 🙂

Hi Thomas,

We’re currently putting together a knowledgebase with guides including a shortcode reference.

For now, the shortcodes are located in the plugins /shortcodes folder, and each one corresponds to a file in /templates (where you can see available attributes).

Hope this helps! The aim is to release the guides early next week. I’ll keep you posted 🙂

Hi there,

Are you logged in as an administrator or event manager?

Post types in the future will be displayed as “Scheduled for…” but will still be visible as an upcoming event.

If the status is being set to “Draft” (not the publish date) then there might be a plugin or something else causing this.

Thanks @sinnerhp!
