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 ]
Shortcode Output

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.
Rug weaving is one of the oldest and most well-known Tibetan arts. This exhibit draws from that ancient tradition to examine a selection of saddle rugs from the Nicholas Salgo Collection. Visitors will learn how the imagery, colors, and forms used in these rugs reflect Tibetan cultural values, religious beliefs, and socioeconomic status. Admission is free.
