You could check your wp-config.php file. Near the bottom it should have this:

/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');

If the above checks out, it may help to do a fresh install of Event Espresso 4 where you delete the event-espresso-core-reg folder from wp-content/plugins, then install a fresh copy that you download from your account page.

If you’ve renamed the plugins dir then Event Espresso shouldn’t even be activated. If that’s the case then this may be an issue with your core WordPress installation. Have you tried uploading a fresh copy of WordPress?

As you’ve disabled all plugins on the site either there either a problem with the theme or one of your WP core files (also note its possible the site/sever has been compromised).

Are you using the default theme or your own?

Is this a single site install or multi site?

You can’t access the admin at all and whichever url you navigate to shows ‘No direct script access allowed’, correct?

Check the .htaccess and index.php file within your root directory.

Your .htaccess file should have something like the first example shown here:

https://codex.wordpress.org/htaccess
(although not always, you may have additional rules. But you’ll need to take a look and for anything that looks suspicious)

Your index.php file should have something very similar to this: http://take.ms/mgApc

That’s from one of my test sites, you may have a different path in the require() call but not much else.

What theme are you using?

If your using a theme you have purchased I’d start by updating to the latest version.

We can’t provide support for any themes we have not built (we simply don’t know anything about the code used), you’ll need to contact the support team for the theme you are using and see if they have a solution.

Why do you have a copy of the EEW_Upcoming_Events.widget.php file within your theme?

Because of the first line in that file if you call the file directly it will throw the above error.

if ( ! defined('EVENT_ESPRESSO_VERSION')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

However you should not have a copy of that file within your theme, are you trying to create a custom widget?

It is possible to create custom widets based on the default one from EE, then you can use that widget in place of the original within the widgets section.

Here is an example of create a custom widget:

That’s the widget within a Custom Functions Plugin, you can alter the output of the widget within that, install the plugin and add the ‘Custom Event Espresso Upcoming Events’ widget in pace of the other.
