Currently the Calendar widget only displays the current months events on the list below it. Events that are early in the month only get to display for a few days when the month ticks over, that is unless someone manually changes the month. I would like for it to always display the next upcoming 5 events even if they are in a future month and remain there even if someone changes the month. Is there a way to do this?
This is indeed the expected behaviour and so it sounds like it is simply working as designed.
As with most aspects of the plugin though it can be customized: our Themer’s Guide, Technical Docs and Tutorials (linked to under Useful Resources over on the right) can give you some idea of how you might workaround this if you’re happy to do some coding – and we’d certainly be open to any feature request you make along these lines.
