New Summary View

This brand-new calendar view gives (potential) attendees a quick look at upcoming events by showing the title, date, and time of each event. You can enable the new events view at Events Settings > Display and even set it as the default calendar view for desktop and mobile devices.

Users can then access the calendar view at yoursite.com/events. If it is not set as the default view, it can be accessed at yoursite.com/events/summary.

You want to customize the look and feel you can use a calendar view CSS class to target the specific view. Finally, you can also set the number of events to be displayed at Events Settings > General. By using the shortcode tribe_events, you can show the summary calendar view anywhere on your WordPress site.

PS: You can even use the new view with Elementor!
