The [ESPRESSO_VENUE] shortcode could be added as a do_shortcode in the widget.php. This shortcode can be configured to display the event address.

To make the title bigger and more bold, you can adjust the font size/weight in the stylesheet. First, wrap the title in a strong or span like so in widget.php:

<strong><?php echo stripslashes_deep($event->event_name) ?></strong>

Then add something like the following to your theme’s stylesheet (or where you’re saving the custom styles):

.events a strong {font-weight:bold; font-size:16px;
}

Have a look at the event_list.php and event_list_display.php templates handle the venue city. Depending on how you have your venues set up, you should be able to copy some of that code over to the widget.php.

The same could be done for price, or you could use the event_price shortcode.

Look in the shortcode documentation for examples of how to include shortcodes in template files.

To add a shortcode into a template, it needs to be wrapped in an echo do_shortcode. For the pricing, it would look like this:

$<?php echo do_shortcode('[EVENT_PRICE event_id="'.$event->id.'" number="0"]');?>

Let’s take a different approach to get the city name and create a new shortcode based on the venue shortcode:
Copy and paste this function into the custom_functions.php file of the custom files addon after the opening <?php or before the closing ?>

Then in widget.php, add this new shortcode:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[ESPRESSO_VENUE_CITY event_id="'.$event->id.'"]');?>

I tested that solution on my test site and it worked. Are you using the venue manager? Can you post the section of widget.php that you modified?

The code I posted was tested to work with the venue manager.

The code you posted doesn’t look right either. Here’s an example to work off of:

I added some line breaks in the code samples for the sake of readability. Try removing those. Other than that, it might be a theme issue where the br tags are getting automatically added.

The event_price shortcode totals everything up, so you might need to customize that function.

The html entity for pounds is &pound;
swap that in place of the $ I used in the sample.
