Hi, is it possible to display the category title in the upcoming events widget when there is no specific category selected? It does work when I select a category and use “$category_name”, but I want to use all categories.

Hi Marc,
Im not sure I follow what you are trying to say, how can you display a category title if the event doesn’t have a category attached to it? There is no data there as it isnt selected so nothing will display.
If you are trying to display a list of categories that will link to a page with the appropriate events, sorry no we don’t have that functionality at this time.

Hi Dean,
What I mean is that I am using the upcoming events Widget, which shows a couple of events. But I’d like to also show the category every event belongs to. But it doesn’t show a category unless I select a specific category in the Widget.

Hi
OK I understand now.
If you have no objection to editing the widget.php template (make sure it is copied to the uploads/espresso/templates directory and edited there) then you can add the following code around line 129 where the event link is echoed.
<?php echo do_shortcode('[CATEGORY_NAME event_id="' . $event->id . '"]'); ?>
Of course it will need styling etc doing to it but it will output the category.
