Events list widget starts with today's event-free date

[morgana]

How do I turn off the top event below the mini calendar, where it displays today’s date and time, rather than the first upcoming event. (There is no event today.) Also, it shows a little calendar graphic beside it, which is OK, but the real upcoming events don’t have it … and it would be nice to have them there. Here’s the link to the screenshot: http://downeasthost.net/tribe.html
Many thanks for your help!!

Howdy,

The event mini calendar widget should only display upcoming events, not today’s date and time. Perhaps you have an event set for today and that is why the top event shows you today’s date?

You are supposed to see the little calendar graphic next to each event in the list. Since it is not displaying there appears to be a conflict with your theme.

Could you please try activating the default Twenty Thirteen theme to see if this issue persists? Also, could we get a link to your site and examine the issue further?

You are very welcome!

Howdy Jean,

I appreciate the link, that helped to figure out half of the problem. I was not aware that we actually looking at two widgets in your screenshot. The Events Calendar, and the Events List underneath it. The Events List widget does not have the fancy date box next to each item. However, once the Calendar widget is functioning properly it will display multiple upcoming events (including their title, time, place, and the date box) instead of the current date/time. Thus, once everything is functioning proper you should only need Events Calendar widget and it will display as expected.

I have tried activating the unmodified Atahualpa theme on my system and it displays the Calendar fine: http://snag.gy/h5kQh.jpg Since I am unable to duplicate the issue with a fresh copy of the Atahualpa theme, we know that it is not the base theme causing the problem. Perhaps it is a modification to the theme, or another plugin on your site?

Definitely try activating the Twenty Thirteen theme and see if the Calendar widget works. If so, it is probably a modification made to the Atahualpa theme. One other thing, I am noticing that the first and only event in the Calendar widget’s list has a title of “Home”. It could be that it is getting this title from the current page. You might try temporarily changing the page title, and see if the event title changes as well? Hopefully this will help you find the conflict.

Unfortunately there is not much we can do beyond offering those tips to help you narrow down where the conflict originates. I hope this helps.
