Poster Grid Layout

The Poster Grid is a new layout for the [eventer_grid] shortcode. It renders events as large editorial cards that prioritise the featured image, arranged in a mixed-span composition for a magazine-style presentation.

Enabling the Poster Layout

Add layout="poster" to the [eventer_grid] shortcode:

[eventer_grid layout="poster"]

Examples:

[eventer_grid layout="poster" column="3" status="future"]
[eventer_grid layout="poster" terms_cats="music" count="6"]

What Each Card Displays

  • Media area — full-bleed featured image. If no image is set, a coloured fallback tile shows the month abbreviation.
  • Date badge — overlaid on the image showing day number and month.
  • Status badges — Virtual, Featured, Sold Out, etc., layered over the image.
  • Content block — weekday kicker, event title, time and venue metadata, short excerpt, starting price, and a CTA link.

Carousel / Slider Mode

The Poster layout supports horizontal carousel scrolling, the same as other grid layouts. Enable it from the shortcode builder carousel option or use the Eventer Slider shortcode wrapper.

Shortcode Builder / Elementor / Visual Composer

Select Poster from the Layout dropdown in the shortcode builder, the Eventer Elementor widget, or the Visual Composer element.

Image recommendation: For the best visual result, set a featured image on every event. The recommended size is 600 × 400 px (landscape). Cards adapt gracefully when no image is set, but a high-quality image produces the most polished output.
