Thank you Nico.
The PRO advice refers users to the Themers Guide which I had already looked at. It’s very comprehensive but not the easiest to follow if you’re new to this kind of thing. Line 42 in the link you sent helped me to crack it. I’ll look at tidying it all up though, as I appreciate the value of following best practice.

Hi Nico
I did look for a thumbnails article before but I think my search was too specific as I didn’t find anything.
I followed your code for removing the date using the Simple Custom CSS plugin and it worked beautifully.
The code for the thumbnails in the article didn’t work as I have PRO. I checked the Themers Guide again and created the file /public_html/wp-content/themes/flyingnews/tribe-events/pro/widgets/list-widget.php – and copied from /public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/widgets/list-widget.php.
It took a few hours to work out but I found that if I inserted the following above the code for event titles it worked a treat:
<!– Add thumbnails to list widget –>
<?php add_image_size(‘widget-thumb’, 100, 100 ,true); ?>
<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $post->ID, ‘widget-thumb’); ?>(This enables me to amend the thumb size as I need to – my theme didn’t have a small enough thumb)
This works great but it needs tidying up. There’s spacing between the title and event details that I don’t want and no spacing between each event – which I do want!
I’ve tried using <br/ but I don’t know how to use it without losing the rest of the website below the ‘Upcoming Events’ title line.
Your help would be very much appreciated.

When you say future events, do you mean all the recurring events beyond the first in the recurring series? Or any future event even if there is only one instance?
If you mean recurring events beyond the first in the series then I understand you, but if the expected output excludes all future events, even if only one instance is posted, then I’m confused as all future events are included in the blogroll in the default theme with just the Events Calendar plug-ins activated. (I’ve now updated to the latest Events Calendar plug-ins and still the same result)
I’m not familiar with database dumps. Can you advise where I’d find it and what exactly I’m looking for?
I used the RSS code you recommended to overwrite the previous code I’d been given and it worked. So I’m very happy on that front!
Can you clarify that you are helping me to have events displayed in my blog loop as they are posted and not in date order? With the default theme the events get shown in date order (most future first), which is not what I want.
If I deactivate all other plugins in the default theme the blog loop continues to show events in date order – most future first. It shows them in post order in my Flying News theme.
I haven’t ever used the code suggested in the link as I want to be able to select the recurring instances box. I had meant to send you another link that states that what I want to do doesn’t work in 3.12. I can’t find it though so I’m wondering whether this is addressed in a recent update. I’ve been wary of updating recently but I will look at it again later today.
Thank you for the RSS info and I’ll look at that later today too.
The home page shows events as they get published or updated (hence the mix of 2015 and 2016 dates) and any posts that have been published or updated (hence the 2012 date). That is how I’ve used Events Calendar on my homepage since I first bought it 3 years ago. I use an Events Calendar page to show events in event order.
The Recurring Events box used to work so that “Recurring event instances (PRO): When checked only the next upcoming event in a recurring event sequence will show. This can be useful to unclutter your calendar. When unchecked, all instances will show.” (See https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wp-admin-settings-overview/) Unfortunately the Recurring Events box no longer works – it hasn’t done so since the last upgrade to Events Calendar (See https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/order-events-in-main-blog-loop-by-post-date/), but it’s making my homepage look very messy when a series of events gets added. Which is why I’m chasing this up again now that some of the other bugs have been sorted. I need this facility back again!
The RSS should publish events and posts as they get published – it always did before but hasn’t since the Events Calendar upgrade. The two issues may or may not be linked, but for this thread sorting out the recurring events box is my priority – I can open another thread for the RSS feeds if necessary.
When the box to only display the first in a series of events is ticked, it makes no difference whether I change the filter on my Flying News Theme to ascending or descending – it still shows the oldest posts first.
The default theme lists events as though they were published on the date they take place. So the top item on the homepage is an event taking place in 2017, followed by some events in 2016 etc. Posts appear according to the actual date published and as we have a significant number of events happening in the future, posts don’t appear for a few pages. I’ll attach the screenshot as requested (if you tell me how!) but it only shows the event happening furthest into the future.
I’ve also noticed that RSS emails are triggered by the date of the event and not by the date they are published. We only allow events in a series on the calendar up to 9 months ahead. At the moment I’m only receiving RSS emails when the next date in a series is added because it is within that 9 months timespan. Other events only come through on RSS if they are beyond that 9 month timespan. I’m guessing my issue and the RSS issue are related?
It’s failing in the Events Calendar view ie http://www.kingdomvision.co.uk/events/
The events weren’t imported from facebook, they were added by contributors on a community page http://www.kingdomvision.co.uk/events/community/add
As I said, I could hide them before but they’ve all reappeared since the latest 3.12 update.
I’ve just added a new event and it still appears on the calendar when I check the ‘Hide From Listings’ box
Yay! Just followed the first step and it looks much better. Looking forward to the fix and thanks for perservering.
I’ve upgraded WordPress and went through deactivating the Events plugins one by one to see which were conflicting. It’s the Events Calendar PRO 3.12.
I have a wordpress update 4.3 waiting to be done. I waited to update as it states plug in compatibility is unknown. Shall I go ahead and upadte anyway?
The option to display events on the homepage was already enabled in Events > Settings as per your screenshot.
The page entitled ‘Home’ at http://www.kingdomvision.co.uk/contents/ was an old static page and shouldn’t have been published. I’ve trashed it but it hasn’t affected the front page.
The button to display latest posts on the front page has already been selected as per your screenshot.
Still no posts on the front page.
Hi
The updates were the official 3.12 release. I thoughtb it was still being tested and didn’t get the email that it was now officially released until late last night, hence the confusion.
I’ve changed the theme to twenty thirteen and deactivated the other plugins as per the test instructions but still have ‘Nothing Found’ on the front page.
Help!
