Hi
We use an upcoming events widget in our site http://www.bbomathshub.org.uk and we display a range of events including some that have multiple date times – but where you must register before the first one in order to attend as it’s a course and you need to attend all dates. By default these will be displayed by our upcoming events widget even after the first date has passed giving our site visitors the impression that they can book a place and then they find they can’t and some are getting confused and frustrated by this. I did see a thread https://eventespresso.com/topic/upcoming-events-widget-4/ in which Josh suggests the creation of a Custom upcoming events widget and then editing the, ‘where clause’ to $where[‘Datetime.Ticket.TKT_end_date’]. I have tried this and have created the widget which now sits in the Upcoming events directory. However, I’m not clear if I should now be seeing this alternative widget in the backend of the site in Appearance>widgets ‘unused widgets’ or whether it will automatically over ride the default upcoming events widget. Please could you advise? Thanks, Jamie

Hi Jamie,
There would actually be a second widget to configure, but the solution from the other topic is no longer necessary because there’s a filter hook now. If you use the filter hook you will not need to register an additional widget.
Instead, you can add this code to your functions file:
