Overview
Further documentation can be found at http://docs.wp-event-organiser.com/shortcodes/posterboard/.
Basic Usage
To display the event posterboard simply use the shortcode [event_board] on any page or post. Full width pages work best.
Advanced Usage
The shortcode supports the same arguments as the events list shortcode. This
includes the ability to display only a particular category, or events satisfying a certain query.
For example, to show events only for category “foobar”:
[event_board event_category="foobar"]
To show events starting in the comming 7 days
[event_board event_category="foobar"]
Most arguments supported by the [eo_events] (see documentation) shortcode will also work with

numberposts and…

Nice Plugin, But Seems to Have Been Abandoned
by donkiely·6 years ago
Update: Rethinking this. Two stars is too harsh. The plugin really does work well, and is a nice addition to the Event Organiser ecosystem. I really wish that we didn’t have to repeatedly deal with security warnings from its age!
Generally works well, and is quite simple to use. Easily customized with CSS.
But there have been no updates for three years, so every security scan we run tags it as a potential problem. And according to the wordpress.org plugin page, isn’t compatible with the 4.7 branch of WordPress, including 5.x and later.
I’ll happily change to 5 stars if it starts getting an update at least every two years, and has its WordPress compatibility updated.

Hello!
