For a client I would like to show previous and upcoming event on the front page. I want to use Modern Events Calendar. Is this best done with GP Element ? GP Show Posts ? GenerateBlocks ?
Any suggestions on how to use any of the three ? It is basically a post type where I want to have two boxes and pull in one upcoming and one just passed. Could be the same box twice or it could be one template with two. Or whatever you would suggest.
Thank you for anything.

Hi there,
Couldn’t you just add it as the page content?
Or am I missing something here?
Yeah, okay. Sorry. My fault.
The previous event and upcoming event should be pulled in automatically from Modern Events Calendar. Like an Element in GP. Does this make sense ?
Say I would use Show Posts to make a selection of post type “event” – can I choose 1 event and that event would be the previous and then another event that would be upcoming ? Or should I rather use one of your other solutions ?
Sounds like Elements would be the right way to go.
I’m not familiar with Event Calendar though so the best solution is probably to start implementing it using one way and see if you run into any roadblocks.
but how do I manipulate another post type than blog in Elements ?
If it’s a CPT then it should show under the display rules.
Display Rules ? Really cannot see it ? I see Location, Exclude, Users.
Maybe we are having a bit of miscommunication here.
What exactly are you trying to insert? A shortcode from Event Calendar?
In Modern Events Calendar I have ten events typed into a CPT. I want to show the next/upcoming event – and the one that has passed. It should run automatically of course.
Ahh I see. That case I don’t think Elements would help.
Does the plugin offer that functionality? Have you checked with their support on how this could be done?
Let me know if I’m still missing something.
WP Show Posts could show One upcoming event – but how about one previously held event ?

Hi there,
if all events were sequential and the Next event was the Latest event ( ie. no more after it until it had passed ) then a simple query for the Latest 2 events could be completed with WP Show Posts.
But if you have a lot of future events and you only want to cover the next upcoming date, and the one prior to that then it you would need to get input from the Plugin developers.
