Hello,
I’m wondering if there is a way to display the category tag in the upcoming events widget? I’m using this widget on the front page of a website, and it is displaying the upcoming events just right, with date and title, but visitors can’t see the category of the event, which is a bit confusing. Hope to hear.

Hi there,
We don’t have an option to do display the category although if you are comfortable with PHP you could add it into the widget.
Are you displaying a single category with the widget or all?
I’m assuming all and you want each individual event to display the category?

Yes this is exactly what I need, do you have an code example perhaps that I can copy/paste? I’m not a programmer unfortunately, but I can read and edit.

This snippet allows you to create a copy of the widget:
https://gist.github.com/Pebblo/d0d5f485ae0599e56e20
Click download zip on the top right of that page, then upload the zip to your set in Dashboard -> Plugins -> Upload plugin.
Activate it and you’ll have ‘Custom Event Espresso Upcoming Events’ widget, it’s a copy of the original so use it in place of the original widget.
Then in that custom widget file you can use something like:
$category = $event->first_event_category();
if ($category instanceof EE_Term) {
echo '<span>Category: ' . $category->name() . '</span>;
}
Where you add that depends on how you want it to output, but for example between the current 380 and 381 lines.
