Events Calendar Pro Widget (events list)

[Justin]

Hello,

We are having a couple issues with the calendar widget (events list). We are using the following shortcode: [tribe_events_list]

1. The first issue is that the widget is displaying recurring events, so the next 3 events displayed all have the same exact title. How do we disable recurring events from being displayed in the list (except for the next iteration of that event)?

2. Also, the dates that are displayed in the icon to the left (appears within the div with class=”list-date”), are not correct and do not match the actual date of the events listed.

The example can be found at the URL provided.

Thank you!

Hi,

I can help out on this.

For the recurring events if you check this setting it will only show the next instance in the series:

Events > Settings > General Tab > “Recurring event instances”

As for the date icon, you can replace the contents of this file:

plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/functions/template-tags/widgets.php

With the coding here:

That will fix the issue until we can release a patch.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks

Hello,

You’re Welcome for the first part.

We will have a fix in the next release so you should not have to change the file then. It should be all set.

For your other questions.

Widget Title
The widget title is created using WordPress’s standard format and generally it is not possible to add a link for it.

There is this plugin though that enables you to make a Widget title a link:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-title-links/

That should work for the widget, but there is generally not way to add a link for the shortcode unless you add it to the template per the editing instructions below.

Text Widgets
To use a shortcode in a text widget you must first add this filter to do it in WordPress:

Editing Templates
You can edit any of the event templates by moving them to your theme following our themer’s guide:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

There you want to move and edit this file:

plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/list-widget.php

To Change the WordPress View More.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks
