Hi team,
The Event Espresso Widget is not showing my upcoming Events. It is showing the title “Upcoming Events,” but thats it. It has been fine, but I think it disappeared after I updated my Pagelines framework. The Calender is showing upcoming events.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Alastair

Hello,

I looked at your site and could not find the issue. Did you resolve it?

Jonathan, thanks so much for the note. The Widget sits in the Primary Sidebar and should display upcoming classes, which there are 3 over the next week, but I just see the title “Upcoming Classes” and that’s it. Do you see the dates and times of classes also?

If they are recurring events, make sure you select “show recurring events” in the widget options.

Yes they are Sidney, and I have that as a “Yes” in the Widget controls.

Can you uncomment the debugging line in templates/widget.php line 72:

print_r($events);

Can you set WP_DEBUG to true in wp_config.php and see if the widget is throwing a warning?

I’m sorry Sidney, I’m a little lost with that. Can you give me a step by step?

Do you have ftp access to your WordPress install and the plugin files?

If so, you need to access the widget.php file which is located in your templates directory: wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/templates/widgets.php

When you find the file, open it with a text editor, like Notepad. On line 72 of that file, you will see //print_r($events);. Remove the dashes in front, so it looks like this print_r($events);, and save the file.

Setting WP_DEBUG:
You will find wp-config.php in wordpress directory. On line 82 (for me. could be different for you), you will find define('WP_DEBUG', false); change it to define('WP_DEBUG', true); and save the file.

Ok, I’ve done the first half of this, now with the WordPress directory, is it still ftp access?

Yes. If you are logged into your ftp client, you will find the wp-config.php.
