Displaying Events and Registration Buttons
Once your events are set up, you can display them anywhere on your website using two shortcodes: one for a browsable list of events, and one for a standalone registration button tied to a single event.
The Events List Shortcode
You can display your published events using:
[latepoint_events_list]
Add this shortcode to the WordPress page where you want your events to appear. The list displays your published events and allows customers to start the registration process directly from it.
You can customize the Events List shortcode using the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description | Available Options / Example |
|---|---|---|
limit | Controls how many events are displayed. | Default: 20. Example: [latepoint_events_list limit="10"] |
category_id | Displays events from a specific Event Category. | Replace with your Event Category ID. Example: [latepoint_events_list category_id="5"] |
image_mode | Controls how the event image/date area is displayed. | thumbnail, date, or none. Example: [latepoint_events_list image_mode="thumbnail"] |
show_seats_left | Controls whether the remaining event capacity is displayed. | yes or no. Example: [latepoint_events_list show_seats_left="yes"] |
The Event Registration Button Shortcode
You can also place a registration button for one specific event anywhere on your website, independent of the full events list:
[latepoint_event_button event_id="1"]The button automatically changes depending on the event’s availability. For example:
- Register
- Sold Out
- Registration Closed
Beyond event_id, the button supports a full set of styling attributes so it can be matched to your site’s design without custom CSS:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
event_id | The ID of the event this button registers for. Required. |
caption | The text shown on the button. Defaults to “Register.” |
align | Alignment of the button. |
bg_color | Background color of the button. |
text_color | Text color of the button. |
font_size | Font size of the button text. |
border | Border style for the button. |
border_radius | Corner radius of the button. |
margin | Margin around the button. |
padding | Padding inside the button. |
css | Additional custom CSS applied to the button. |
classname | A custom CSS class added to the button wrapper. |
btn_classes | A custom CSS class added to the button element itself. |
btn_wrapper_classes | A custom CSS class added to the outer wrapper around the button. |
Example with a few styling attributes combined:
[latepoint_event_button event_id="1" caption="Save Your Spot" bg_color="#2c7a4b" border_radius="8px"]What Happens When a Customer Clicks Register
When a customer clicks the registration button (from either the events list or a standalone button), LatePoint opens the Event registration flow.
Unlike a regular appointment booking, the customer does not need to select:
- Service
- Agent
- Location
- Appointment date
- Appointment time
Instead, the customer sees the information for the selected Event and selects the required number of tickets (or, with Ticket Types enabled, the quantity per ticket type, then continues through the normal LatePoint customer-details and payment process.
