List Widget shows next year events before this year ones

[Victor]

Hello, I’m configuring my first calendar and I have some issues and doubts I can’t solve:

1- I’ve made some recurring events starting this month (September 2016) till October 2017. When I try to put a List Widget in the sidebar of my WooComerce Shop to see the upcoming events, I can only see the first event in October 2016 and then an event in October 2017 but it doesn’t show me the events of November 2016 and the other previous events.
How can I fix this?

2- In the widget I also tried to show 5 events in the list but it only shows me 2 of them (and bad as I explained). How can I show more items in the list.

3- Is it possible to change the colour of the title event, in the calendar and list, if the event has a concrete tag?? I want to show the events that are full in red but I don’t know how to do it. Maybe by CSS?? How can I do this??

4- In the calendar view (month), I only see the navigation between months (next month) at the bottom of the calendar. Is it possible to put it on the top also?

5- Is it possible to create some filters like only show events from a certain category for instance, and put them on the top of the calendar?

6- Is there a guide or something to change some CSS of the calendar?

Thanks!!!

Hello Victor,

Thanks for going Pro and welcome to the forums!

Whoa, you have a whole bunch of questions. 🙂 Let me try to help you with those one-by-one.

To be able to fully support you, could you please share your system information with me in a private reply?
Here’s a handy guide how you can do that:

Now let’s get to those questions:

List widget: it doesn’t show me the events of November 2016 and the other previous events.

It looks like the events that are not showing up in the list widget are recurrences of the one starting on October 3.

Please check the setting under Events > Settings > General tab > General Setting section > Recurring event instances. If this is ticked in, then most probably that hides the recurrences in your widget.

 

Is it possible to change the colour of the title event, in the calendar and list, if the event has a concrete tag?? I want to show the events that are full in red but I don’t know how to do it. Maybe by CSS?? How can I do this??

Yes, it is possible to change the title color in month view with CSS. Here is a CSS snippet that will set the event title to red in month view for all events that have the tag diving:
.events-gridview .tag-diving h3 a {
color: red;
}
I’m afraid in list view that is not possible out of the box, but it could be done with some template customization. Let me know if you need help for this, I can get you started.

 

In the calendar view (month), I only see the navigation between months (next month) at the bottom of the calendar. Is it possible to put it on the top also?

This article should help you out solving this.

Is it possible to create some filters like only show events from a certain category for instance, and put them on the top of the calendar?

Yes. Every category is accessible through a URL. For example, to show all events in the sports category, this would be the url:

http://youdomain.com/events/category/sports/

You can put it on top of the calendar via customizing your views. These 2 articles should get you started on customizing the template files for the different views:

Is there a guide or something to change some CSS of the calendar?

Not specifically, but you can use your browser’s development tools (hit F12) to see the code and the css used for the specific page. You can grab the classes from there.

In case you need some help to get started on CSS there are plenty of free resources on the web. This is my favourite:

Let me know if this helps you out and if you have any more questions. I’ll be here waiting.

Cheers,
Andras
