Hi. I am using the custom posts feature to customize the presentation of our event pages. These pages also contain the registration form as well. When I use the widget to list upcoming events, the links it provides go to the standard EE event detail page when I would rather have them link to their custom post page. How can I change this? Thanks!

I would recommend using a widget that displays a list of posts for a specific custom post type. Here is one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-list-widget/

I had managed to get the EE widget to display the event date, city/state, along with the title, yet the plugin you suggested can only display the title. I’ve spent hours trying to find an alternative. Any other suggestions?

One suggestion: use the calendar widget and set the calendars to link to posts in the calendar settings.
Another suggestion: refactor the upcoming events widget to link to the event posts.

Yep, Ideally I would love to get the upcoming events widget to link to the event posts if I could figure out how to do it. I’m a novice PHP programmer but I thought paying extra for the Custom Files add-on would help.

The custom files add-on gives you a place to override pluggable functions (custom_functions.php). The templates (like widget.php) can be copied over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates and the customizations will not get overwritten on the next update.

Yes, I understand how they work yet they are not much help when using custom posts. I’m getting frustrated at the time, effort and money I’ve wasted trying to customize a simple link to go to my custom posts. Thanks for your help.

Try changing the registration_url variable in widget.php to something like:
$registration_url = get_permalink($event->post_id);
