Hi @Runekjensen,
Displaying the current month’s events by default is what it’s intended to do – so it sounds like in your case the events list widget would be a better fit for your needs (if the reason you are using the calendar widget is because of its appearance, then customizing the list widget to have a matching appearance is likely to be the best route here).
The ideas in this thread cover slightly different ground and you’re right, they may anyway be in need of an update, but hopefully the above suggestion is something you can explore. Do also refer to the following helpful resources for general guidance along the way:
Does that help?
