List View Skin Settings
List View Skin in MEC has five unique layouts, and each one can be set through the Modern Events Calendar setting and adjustment of shortcodes.
List View Shortcode
You can use shortcodes in your internal pages to have this on your website. The shortcodes are located in M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes.

List View FAQ
How do I add the List View to a page?
Go to M.E. Calendar > Shortcodes, add a new shortcode, choose List View as the skin, set the options above and publish it. Then copy the generated shortcode (for example [MEC id="123"]) into any page, post or widget.
How do I show only some events?
Open the Filter Options of the same shortcode and limit events by category, location, organizer, label, tag or author. See Making Advanced Shortcodes for every filter.
Can the List View show past events?
Yes. In Filter Options > Expired Events, turn on Include Expired Events to show past and upcoming events, or Show Only Expired Events to show only past ones. They are listed from the Start Date you choose.

Hi, when I unselect the load more button, it keeps showing up on the page. I would agree to keep it if I was able to change his colors but I can’t find where, any solutions for me please? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
make sure you have the latest version.
For troubleshooting, deactivate all your plugins and let the MEC remain active only, set your theme on default, then reload the page, if the issue was solved, then activate your plugins one by one and your theme, refresh your page and check to see which plugin is causing the issue.
if the issue remains, please go to support.webnus.net and there you can log in or sign up. to create a new ticket, simply head over to webnus.net/support and click on ‘Create a Ticket’ and share the required information.
Hi, a problem with the list view and Google Map:
when I activate the google map in the list view, no events appear there. It loads the view of the event locations for 1 second when the page is loaded but then everything disappears. No events are found when I click the Next or Prev button.
If I only use the map view then it works.
Hi there,I have the problem that the list view does not show *all* events, even if there is no limit set. It seems that it stops at the end of the current month.Is there a way to list every activefuture event, no matter “when” it takes place in the future?Thanks for your help
