I used the plugin called the-events-calendar on Erica Dent’s enjoy discovering wine website. I’ve learnt a bit more about it since I first started using it. So I’m going to write about it here. bear with me as I complete the subpages for this Embedded Page List (epl)
[epl]
Windows machines can’t show /events/upcoming but can do http://qw/wordpress/?cat=4&eventDisplay=upcoming
ditto for the event calendar: not events/calendar but can do http://qw/wordpress/?cat=4&eventDisplay=month
then there are past events http://qw/wordpress/?cat=4&eventDisplay=past
By date &cat=&eventDisplay=bydate&eventDate=2010-01-02
