Placing Blocks

Eventonomy ships nine blocks in the Free plan (and nine more in Pro, under the separate eventonomy-pro/ prefix). You add them to any WordPress page or post with the Block Editor, just like any core Gutenberg block.

Finding the Blocks

Open any page or post in the Block Editor.
Click the + button (or press /).
Search for Eventonomy; all blocks appear together under the Eventonomy category.

Free Blocks

Block	Best placed on	What it does
`eventonomy/calendar`	Events page	Month calendar. Each day cell lists that day’s events, and each one links straight to the event.
`eventonomy/events-list`	Events page	Grid, list, or upcoming events with a Load more control.
`eventonomy/upcoming`	Home page, sidebar	A compact “next N events” teaser list.
`eventonomy/search-filter`	Events page	Search box, category chips, date range - and the view switcher.
`eventonomy/single-event`	Single-event template	Full event detail: image, dates, venue, organizer, description.
`eventonomy/rsvp`	Single-event template or any page	The RSVP form (going / maybe / no / guests).
`eventonomy/manage-attendees`	Single-event page	Attendee list with check-in controls, visible to event organizers only.
`eventonomy/my-events`	Manage Events page	Member dashboard: overview, their events, create/edit, attending, venues & organizers, and profile.
`eventonomy/event-editor`	Any page	Event creation/editing form (used inside the my-events dashboard).

The view switcher lives in Search & Filter, not Events List. If you want visitors to flip between Grid, List, Month and Upcoming, the Search & Filter block has to be on the page. Events List renders whichever view is active.

Shortcodes

If you use the Classic Editor or a page builder that does not support Gutenberg blocks, every block has an equivalent shortcode:

Shortcode	Equivalent block
`[eventonomy_calendar view="month"]`	`eventonomy/calendar`
`[eventonomy_events per_page="6" view="list" category="music"]`	`eventonomy/events-list`
`[eventonomy_upcoming count="3"]`	`eventonomy/upcoming`
`[eventonomy_event id="42"]`	`eventonomy/single-event`
`[eventonomy_my_events]`	`eventonomy/my-events`
`[eventonomy_search]`	`eventonomy/search-filter`
`[eventonomy_submit event_id="0" redirect_url="/events/"]`	`eventonomy/event-editor`
`[eventonomy_rsvp id="42"]`	`eventonomy/rsvp`
`[eventonomy_manage_attendees id="42"]`	`eventonomy/manage-attendees`

Pro shortcodes

With Eventonomy Pro active, its blocks have shortcodes too:

Shortcode	Equivalent block
`[eventonomy_checkin id="42"]`	`eventonomy-pro/checkin`
`[eventonomy_week]`	`eventonomy-pro/week-view`
`[eventonomy_day]`	`eventonomy-pro/day-view`
`[eventonomy_map per_page="20"]`	`eventonomy-pro/map-view`
`[eventonomy_analytics]`	`eventonomy-pro/organizer-analytics`
`[eventonomy_follow type="event" id="42"]`	`eventonomy-pro/follow-button`
`[eventonomy_discovery per_page="12"]`	`eventonomy-pro/discovery-feed`
`[eventonomy_photo_grid per_page="12"]`	`eventonomy-pro/photo-grid`

Recommended Page Setup

The activation wizard creates the two required pages automatically. If you need to set them up manually:

Events page - Create a page, add the eventonomy/search-filter block at the top, then eventonomy/events-list below it, and (if you want the Month view) eventonomy/calendar below that. This is exactly what Eventonomy builds for you on activation, and it is what makes the view switcher work: search, browsing and view switching in one place.

Manage Events page - On a fresh install this is created for you at /manage-events/. To set it up manually, create a page and add only the eventonomy/my-events block. That block contains the full dashboard shell. Mark this page as requiring login with your membership plugin or a redirect rule.

Pro Blocks

Pro - Eventonomy Pro adds nine additional blocks:

Block	What it does
`eventonomy-pro/week-view`	7-column hour-grid week calendar
`eventonomy-pro/day-view`	Single-day hour-grid calendar
`eventonomy-pro/map-view`	Events plotted on a map (requires Maps & geocoding)
`eventonomy-pro/checkin`	Door check-in scanner (QR / manual)
`eventonomy-pro/discovery-feed`	Personalized event feed for members (needs Settings → Features → Discovery)
`eventonomy-pro/follow-button`	Follow an organizer to see their events in the discovery feed
`eventonomy-pro/organizer-analytics`	Per-event metrics for organizers (needs Settings → Features → Analytics)
`eventonomy-pro/photo-grid`	Event photo gallery grid
`eventonomy-pro/member-events`	A member’s events by bucket, for the BuddyPress profile tab (needs BuddyPress and the BuddyPress integration enabled)

Five of the nine register unconditionally. Map View, Discovery Feed, Organizer Analytics, and Member Events only appear in the inserter once the setting or integration named above is switched on. Maps & geocoding, Discovery and Analytics are all off by default, so a fresh Pro install starts with five.
