Good evening folks, I have implemented the EE Widget on my home page (EE4) so that I may show the next upcoming event only. The widget places the Event Title above the Event Image/Thumbnail, however I want the title placed beneath the image. By editing widgets/upcoming_events/EEW_Upcoming_Events.widget.php I can get this to work, but these changes would get overwritten next time EE gets updated. Is there a way to edit this without it getting overwritten?
Alternatively I have tried the EE4 shortcode [ESPRESSO_EVENTS limit=“1”] to show the next upcoming event which places the event title beneath the image like I want, however the date of the event does not show up which is odd.
Any suggestions? I would offer to post the URL however I am working locally on MAMP.
Thank you!

Hi,
The only way I can see this working would be to copy the widget Class from /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/widgets/upcoming_events/EEW_Upcoming_Events.widget.php to a site specific plugin.
Rename the Class so it doesn’t conflict (I’d recommend renaming the ee-upcoming-events-widget in the __contruct method too).
Then below the class add
add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
register_widget( 'EEW_Upcoming_Events2' );
});
Where EEW_Upcoming_Events2 is the name of the new Class.
This will generate a new widget and you can edit the HTML structure as needed.
It has the added benefit of not being over written on update.
