The [sportspress_timeline] shortcode displays the match timeline for an event — a visual representation of key incidents (goals, cards, substitutions, etc.) plotted across the match duration.
​

Requires SportsPress Pro. The Timelines module must be enabled.
​

A horizontal or vertical timeline of match events. In horizontal format, incidents are plotted as markers along a progress bar spanning the full match duration, with icons and player names. In vertical format, incidents are listed in a table with columns for time, icon, player, and side (home/away).
​

The format used by the shortcode is controlled by the format parameter (default horizontal). The global site-default format is configured at Settings > Events > Timelines > Format, but the shortcode always defaults to horizontal regardless of the global setting unless you explicitly pass format="vertical".
​

Place on a single event page inside the Loop, or embed on any page with id. The shortcode reads the timeline data stored against the event post.
