Connecting VGA display to MacBook Pro

I've connected my external display to my USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter using a VGA to HDMI cable, but my MacBook Pro doesn't detect the display. What is my next step?

usb-c displayport monitor good morning, I am trying to connect a new MacBook Air 2020 to an external monitor with no HDMI input, but only Displayport or VGA input. I purchased a usb-c to HDMI adapter (plugged to the Mac) and used a HDMI-Displayport cable to connect to the external screen, but it does not work. The external display is not recognised. Any idea how to fix this problem? Thanks. PLF

Just ordered a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter as recommended, hoping it will work. I connected my HSB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter to my HD television via a HDMI connection and it worked just fine.
