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 ]

Coins like those in your pocket have helped shape empires for thousands of years. This exhibit showcases more than six dozen coins, focusing on East Asia and the Mediterranean, and spanning more than two millennia. Each coin is both an artifact and a historical document, allowing numismatists (or coin collectors) to trace their evolution from raw metals to standardized modern currency. In this exhibit, visitors will learn how coins reveal the politics of long-gone states and how they circulated widely throughout the world, providing information on trade networks and ancient cities. Coins give a human connection to the past— mundane objects that were touched by people like us, thousands of years ago. Admission is free.
Community Chapel: And Justice For All...
Location: Davis Chapel
Time: 11:00 a.m. | Complimentary lunch to follow in the Divinity Auditorium
Each week, the Wake Forest University School of Divinity gathers for Community Chapel, a time of worship, reflection, and shared imagination. This year’s theme—And Justice For All...—calls us to listen deeply, engage honestly, and envision new ways of living into justice, reconciliation, and compassion as we reflect on our nation's 250th year.
Our service includes worship led by members of the Divinity community, followed by a featured speaker offering reflections grounded in faith and the pressing realities of our time.
Following the service, all are invited to share in a complimentary lunch in the Divinity Auditorium—a time for fellowship, conversation, and community building.
All are welcome. Join us as we journey together in faith, hope, and compassion.
