EventKoi Shortcodes Reference Guide [START HERE]

Pre-requisite: Ability to use shortcodes on your WordPress site.

Works for both EventKoi Pro and EventKoi Lite. Some shortcodes, and some of their attributes, are Pro only, as noted in each one’s own guide.

Shortcodes let you display EventKoi calendars, event data, and widgets anywhere on your site, including places where blocks aren’t available, like classic editor posts, widgets, page builder sections, or legacy templates.

This page is your starting point for shortcodes in EventKoi. It lists every shortcode, and links out to a dedicated reference for each one.

Every EventKoi shortcode

• [eventkoi_calendar] displays a calendar grid or an event list for one or more calendars. Available in Lite and Pro. See EventKoi Calendar (Calendar View) shortcodes: All supported attributes and EventKoi Calendar (List View) shortcode: All supported attributes.
• [eventkoi] pulls a piece of built-in event data onto a page, such as the title, date, location, or featured image. Useful for pulling event details into a page builder, a widget, or anywhere else blocks aren’t available. Available in Lite and Pro. See Event Data shortcodes for built-in fields.
• [eventkoi] with custom field keys pulls from custom fields you have created, such as a speaker name or a sponsor logo, onto a page. Pro only. See Custom fields shortcode reference.
• [eventkoi] with taxonomy keys pulls an event’s assigned custom taxonomy terms, and their term fields, onto a page. Pro only. See Custom taxonomies & terms shortcode reference.
• [eventkoi_rsvp] displays the RSVP widget for an event. Only renders when that event’s attendance mode is set to RSVP. Available in Lite and Pro. See RSVP shortcode.
• [eventkoi_tickets] displays the Tickets widget for an event. Only renders when that event’s attendance mode is set to Tickets. Available in Lite and Pro. See Tickets shortcode.
• [eventkoi_event_submission] displays the frontend event submission form, letting visitors add events from your site’s frontend. Pro only. See Frontend event submission shortcode.

Finding a calendar or event’s id

• Calendar id: In the calendar list table, there’s an option to copy the shortcode, with the id already included. Or, select the calendar, go to its Embed tab, and copy the shortcode shown there.

• Event id: Go to the event’s own settings page, from the events list table, then toggle on Show block attributes and shortcodes. You’ll see a shortcode for each event setting. The event id is in the first one shown.

• Recurring event instance id: Some shortcodes, like [eventkoi_rsvp] and [eventkoi_tickets], can target one specific occurrence of a recurring event using an instance_ts attribute. Inside the event, click on the Recurring instances tab, then select the relevant instance.

On the top right hand corner of the event instance settings, you’ll find the event ID.
