Hi Andy

Copy and past the category’s ‘Unique Category Identifier’ into that field. You’ll need to navigate to the Manage event categories editor screen to get the unique category identifier.

What if you want all categories of events to display? Can you leave that field empty?

Michael – I’m not an expert but don’t you just adjust the shortcodes to suit what you want to display? (guide is on the ‘Calendar settings’ page) – eg:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR]
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”true”]
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier”]
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier” show_expired=”true”]
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR cal_view=”month”] (Available parameters: month, basicWeek, basicDay, agendaWeek, agendaDay)

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for the response. I got the calendar shortcodes working correctly on a page. What I’m having problems with is the widget. The Event Espresso Calendar widget is in my sidebar but for some reason no calendar is showing. Even after I entered a category identifier.

Hi Michael,

When you set up the calendar Widget, did you enter a page ID or page slug for the calendar page? The calendar widget will not display if that field is empty.
