Hi there,

The widget and shortcode are 2 different things, so is it the widget you want to change to show something when you have no upcoming events?

If so you can, but you’ll need to add some code to your site to do it, are you comfortable with PHP?

In that case, you can use this gist:

Add that to a custom functions plugin on your site, we have some documentation on creating one here:

https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/

Then between lines 385 and 386 add whatever you want the widget to output when no events are available.

Note that widget adds a ‘Custom Event Espresso Upcoming Events’ widget to Appearance -> Widgets and you need to use that in place of the default, its to allow you to edit the widget from within a plugin, editing the core plugins widget you’ll lose the modifications when EE updates, with the plugin you wont.
