Hi there,

I’m sorry for the trouble. I can advise downloading a fresh copy of Event Espresso from your account page and re-installing.

The Event Espresso widget is registered in espresso.php immediately after the /templates/widget.php template is loaded up, which is where the “Event_Espresso_Widget” class is instantiated. Along with that, I can advise checking your copy and making sure that /templates/widget.php is present and contains this code on its first 17 lines:

<?php
if (!class_exists('Event_Espresso_Widget')) {

    class Event_Espresso_Widget extends WP_Widget {

        function Event_Espresso_Widget() {

            /* Widget settings. */

            $widget_options = array('classname' => 'events', 'description' => __('A widget to display your upcoming events.', 'event_espresso'));
            /* Widget control settings. */

            $control_options = array('width' => 300, 'height' => 350, 'id_base' => 'events-widget');
            /* Create the widget. */

            $this->WP_Widget('events-widget', __('Event Espresso Upcoming Events Widget', 'event_espresso'), $widget_options, $control_options);
        }

Can you try deleting the version you have installed right now? This may be a case where the zip file isn’t getting installed via the built in WP plugin installing. The sure fire way to avoid this is by installing via FTP:

This has come up twice before and was resolved by installing via FTP:

I’m assuming that did not help? Can you check which version of PHP is running on your server?

That’s a bit too much information. In the future, please do not post sensitive server details in a public forum. I will go back through and moderate them.

In the meantime, can you FTP in and comment out line 439 of espresso.php which will then read:

//add_action('widgets_init', 'load_event_espresso_widget');

Hi there,

The display_all_events function is defined in event-espresso/templates/event_list.php on line 9. Can you check to see if that file is there and the function is there too?

If it’s not there it will need to be uploaded via FTP.

If it is there, can you check with your host and verify that the permissions on the server allow PHP to read the files in the wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates directory?

Hi there,

Please check on this with your host and ask them to look into it. There may be something locked down and it’s not allowing access to these files. Typically, when you change a file’s permissions it should not be set any higher than 664. Changing them to 755 will not necessarily fix anything.
