Display Specific Month in Widget

No order is too tall ??

If you put this into a Text widget it should do what you want:

<ul>[events_list scope="2013-07-01,2013-07-31"]<li>#_EVENTLINK </li>[/events_list]</ul>

it doesn’t render as HTML … ?

[events_list scope=”2013-07-01,2013-07-31″]
#_EVENTLINK
[/events_list]

^ just that shows

Do you have the option called Automatically add paragraphs checked? If you do, uncheck it, save and see it that works.

no – that’s no checked

Sorry, my mistake. I’d forgotten not every theme can run shortcodes within widgets.

If you know how / are comfortable editing the functions.php file of your theme, add this line to it to make shortcodes work in widgets:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Or, you can add this plugin with does the same thing without needing to edit any files:

I’ll just edit the php file. Thanks for your help – I’ll give it a try as soon as my back ups are done.

Oh – that little bit of text creates a list. That’s not what I’m looking for (although, it’ll come in handy in many other places), cause all these events have the same name – it’s a recurring event, and it looks funny. I need the mini calendar to show when these events take place.

Any helpful pointers for this?

Thanks Caimin.

I think this should help:

[events_calendar month=”07″ year=”2013″]

that’ll open up a mini-calendar to 07/2013

WONDERFUL!!! Thanks.

Can I display I specific month in the widget on certain events. for instance … if an event starts in July, I want the widget on the side on the event page to pop up July, not the current month. But only that particular event. I made the side bar with the particular month, and that worked for a while, but now we have different events that start on different months … understand?

too much to ask for?
