Localist Shortcode
This shortcode ties into events.wfu.edu our localist events website and displays events based on the attributes on the shortcode. Many of our websites use this plugin to display events related to the content of that website. We also offer our University Events block for a more integrated look and feel.
UPDATE: Looks like the natural display for each of these seems off in our new theme. We should check to make sure all the css is being loaded for these and that there isn’t any non-secure styles/scripts. Also images are broken in the API shortcode so we probably need to ensure we are using https for these.
Shortcode: Localist Widget
The Localist widget shortcode ties into the basic widget building functionality localist provides. It comes wrapped with html and has very little ability to change the html structure.
- num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_widget num=10 days=30 ]
Shortcode Output
Shortcode: Localist API
The Localist API shortcode has more parameters and can return a more custom set of events returned in json format allowing the html display of the events to be controlled on our end.
- pp or num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_api pp=10 days=30 ] or [ wfu_localist_api num=10 days=30 ]

Tobacco has played a significant role in shaping North Carolina’s cultural, economic, and social identity, even before the state’s official establishment. Early depictions of Native American communities along the coast at the end of the 16th century show cultivation and use of the plant.
During the 19th century, tobacco became a cornerstone of the plantation economy, generating immense wealth for select families. In the 20th century, the rise of mass production and commercialization, along with an expanding labor force dedicated to its cultivation and processing, further embedded tobacco in North Carolina’s way of life. Marketing campaigns and iconic imagery tied to tobacco are deeply woven into the state’s historical narrative.
This exhibit showcases images, artifacts, and records from Special Collections & Archives, spanning from the sixteenth century to the modern era. It also features contributions from North Carolina artists and photographers, including Daisha Bunn and Erin Kye and their families, as well as works by photographer Dan Routh.
Experience the world of medieval China through the imaginative artistry of miniature ceramic figurines. This exhibit features dozens of ceramic figurines in the Changsha style, a type of pottery manufactured in southern China from the 8th to the 10th centuries CE. The figurines represent a range of subjects including domestic animals, mythological creatures, commoners, elites, and esoteric symbols. This exhibit features original research by WFU students.

The Lam Museum of Anthropology is excited to showcase a selection of newly acquired objects from the closed Museum of World Cultures at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. This partnership brings back into public view nearly 300 ethnographic, historical, and archaeological pieces from around the world, and adds significant depth to the Lam Museum’s already expansive collection. This exhibit celebrates some of these objects spanning cultures, continents, and centuries. Although only a portion of the collection is on display, these highlights demonstrate the rich variety and interconnectedness of humanity. Admission is free.
Colors have many symbolic meanings in East Asian fashion. This exhibit features clothing from China and Japan organized by the five basic colors of black, red, green-blue, white, and yellow. These colors are traditionally associated with the elements of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, respectively. Originating in the mythical past, color symbolism was popularized throughout East Asia with the spread of religious and philosophical ideas. Just as the elements were thought to combine into more complex materials, colors could be combined into complex poetic expressions. Visitors can explore these connections between color, nature, and fashion in this student-curated exhibit.
