OK, so after reading through the themer’s guide, I’m presuming for the “Event List” customisation, I would need to change “widget-list.class.php”. I’m not sure;
a) what exactly to change / add (I’m surprised nobody has asked this before?)
b) if I change it here, will it then display the description of the event in every instance of the widget? I will now be using multiple instances of the Event List widget – one for the upcoming event, with description, and another to show the 5 most recent events – date, time, title only – so I don’t want the description showing up in the second instance of the widget.

Thanks for your reply Barry, I’ll take a look at these and let you know the outcome.

Not a problem Jonah – that fixes it thank you.

I was going to ask if this would change again in a future release, but I suppose as long as I have widget-featured-display.php in my theme directory it will take precedence over the version in the plugin directory anyway.

Thanks again for your replies.

Jonah, thanks for your reply.
Honestly, I hadn’t customised the Widget beyond the options available to me in Appearance>Widgets on the dashboard.
Are we talking about the same widget? I’m referring to the “Next Event Widget” (not the “Events List Advanced Widget”). It showed the images before, without customisation, it simply pulled through any image inserted in the body of the event text (not featured image), but of course I can’t show you an example of that now…!
It’s been that way since I went PRO, which I think was back in December last year.
I also appear to have lost all formatting in my next event widget – line breaks, font styling etc aren’t pulling through either, and the biggest concern is that before changing to 2.09 the widget showed the complete event description. What I’m getting now appears to be the first 55 words of the description, then it cuts off.

I have a weekly backup of the database thanks, so the events data itself is fine. This issue relates to how it’s displayed in the widget – regrettably it doesn’t look like you have the previous versions of Events Calendar and Pro available to download on the site, because I could have reverted back to 2.08 for the time being.

I’d second this request please. Recurring events are why I just paid for Pro – they’re a god-send, but I don’t want them filling up my events list.

Thanks.
