It is possible to use your own template by using an enclosing shortcode:

[wpt_events]<h3>{{title}}</h3><p>{{datetime}}<br />{{location}}</p>[/wpt_events]

Available fields:

• {{categories}}
• {{content}}
• {{datetime}}
• {{duration}}

• {{prices}}
• {{remark}}
• {{startdate}}
• {{starttime}}
• {{thumbnail}}
• {{tags}}
• {{tickets}}
• {{tickets_url}}
• {{title}}
• {{venue}}

To turn a field into a link, you can add a permalink filter to the placeholder:

{{title|permalink}}

By default, all dates are formatted using the date format setting in WordPress. To use another format, you can add a date filter to the placeholder:

{{datetime|date('D j')}}
