How to do a horizontal widget?

[Rene]

Anyone knows how to do this?

[Rob]

Hey Rene. Sent you an email about this, I believe. Let me know if you’ve still got questions after reviewing that.

[Rene]

Thanks Rob, I got it

can this be done with CSS? I just want the “Event list advanced widget” to go across the site rather than in a column, I used to have the old plugin like that, but now no matter what I do…

another question… It was pretty easy to display the event attached image on the same widget but now In this version I can’t… =(

[Rob]

Hey Rene. Sure, let me see if Jonah has any suggestions as to your first question. I’ll get him to take a look when he hits the forums today.

Not sure I understand the question in your second point. Can you elaborate as to what has changed, so I can look into it for you?

Hi Rene,

Yes you can modify the CSS completely so that the widget or anything else on your site is displayed however you want. The easiest way to modify the plugins CSS is to make a duplicate copy of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/resources/events.css and place in an ‘events’ folder in your theme. You’ll need to figure out the CSS on your own but you’ll probably want to do something like float the widget list items to get them side by side…

As for getting images in the widgets, I wrote up a tutorial on this: https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-show-featured-thumbnails-in-the-next-events-widget/

I hope that helps,

I can’t make both stuff work. My website is http://www.polisonico.com could there be a conflict with the theme? it’s from gabfire and it’s called City Desk… Maybe I just plainly suck…

[Jonah]

Hi Rene, what do you mean you can’t make both stuff work? It’s not an easy flip of a switch to get what you want done. You’re going to need to know some higher level CSS to get things to look the way you want and if you need additional functionality you need to dig into the PHP and/or jQuery to figure things out.

[Rene]

I added the stuff in the tutorial but nothing shows up…

[Rob]

OK, Rene – thanks. Just a heads up, I believe Jonah is traveling today so he may not get to take a look at this until tomorrow (or later tonight at the earliest).

[Jonah]

Hi Rene, hard to say what the problem could be… Did you double check the steps in the tutorial to make sure you did everything right? Do you have an example or two of an event that has a featured image that is not showing it in the widget? Can you email me WP admin access to jonah [at] tri [dot] be so I can take a look?

[Rene]

sent you my info. you guys are the greatest.

[Rob]

Hey Rene, happy to help. We should have what we need here now. Stay tuned.

[Jonah]

Hi Rene,

I have the access you sent but I don’t see where you are having problems with the image in the widget, do you have an example you can point me to?

Thanks,
Jonah
