I would like to tweak the Events Pro widget code to place the title of the event title on the first line, followed by the date/time on the second. Hopefully this is a simple enough tweak and would appreciate if anyone could tell/me what code to take out and where, and what code to insert and where.
Thanks!
Hey Tony. Have you checked out the widget customization article we put together, in case that may help? It can be found here: https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-completely-customize-widgets/. Let me know if this doesn’t give you what you need.
Hi Rob — yes, Jonah pointed that out to me. I’m not a developer however, so those instructions are a bit beyond my skill set. I just need to swap the Event title to the first line and the date/time to the second. This is usually something can be easily done in a php file in almost every other plugin I’ve used. I have to say, for a paid product, ECPro is a very difficult plugin to customize for a customers’ needs.
Hey Tony. Thanks for the note, and for the feedback. We are expecting that users working with this plugin will have some WordPress development experience. That being said I’m not a developer myself, so I can certainly get Jonah to offer up his thoughts on how this would be done.

That’s not a widget, when you go to Appearance >Widgets, what is the name of the name of the widget in question?
Events List Widget. Appears in sidebar at http://shiningstarsdc.org/events/
I also need to know how to make this page, Upcoming Events, have as a title “Upcoming Events” or “Calendar of Events” rather than the name of the first event on the calendar (now the title appears to be Winter Break).
Hey Tony, in order to customize the widget like you want to you’ll have to follow our tutorial on customizing widgets: https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-completely-customize-widgets/
To change the page titles try adding this code to your fucntions.php file: http://pastebin.com/3fyLV1g2
Seems like we’re going around in circles. As I am not a developer, those instructions are beyond my skill level. Thus, per your suggestion, I posted the request here for custom widget help needed. Rob suggested you could help me, perhaps unaware of our previous exchange.
In other calendar tools I’ve used, the widget was a basic set-up, using something like
[li] [php language=”get_event_title”][/php] [br /] [php language=”get_event_starttime”][/php] echo ‘to’ [php language=”get_event_endtime”][/php] [/li]
or such… I don’t know PHP, but it was something like that. What I would love to know is where that code exists in ECPro, and I can just swap the order of the title and the time. But I don’t have the skills to use the register widgets or rewrite PHP to the extent that page requires.
Hey Tony. We talked this over internally here and what you’re requesting is custom work that would be a rather time consuming task to put accomplish; one that unfortunately falls outside the realm of support we’re able to offer for a $50 plugin.
Since this is a customization related item, it’s inevitably going to require some basic coding skill to implement. At this point our best suggestion would be to either see if other forum users can assist with this, or hire a developer for an hour or two to take care of it directly.
I realize this is probably not the answer you were hoping to hear and my apologies for not being able to provide more. Please let me know if you have any other questions on this.
