    So im using this as the template for the widget whoch works fine
    <strong> <font size="4">%event_title%</strong></font> <div><strong>When:</strong> %start{l jS F }%<div> <strong>where:</strong> %event_venue% in %event_venue_country%

    The only problem is for some reason the titles not a link
    Also how would i add excerpt to the title

    also on a side not i bought the ical extension today and it doesnt work but as im on a local host im hoping thats why and it will work when ive moved it to a live site

    You can find full documentation for the event list shortcode here: http://wp-event-organiser.com/documentation/shortcodes/event-list-shortcode/

    But you need to use something like <a href="%event_url%">%event_title%</a> and %event_excerpt% displays the excerpt.

    Regarding the iCal extension, it should work fine on a local install. If you’re having problems get in touch via wp-event-organiser.com/contact and detail what exactly isn’t working. If you could provide the url to the feed then I can test it out on my local site too.

    Title link is good but the excerpt is for the content i want to add a excerpt for titles as some are too long to fit into my layout correctly

    Oh I see, that’s not possible with the event list tags. If you use a custom template, however you can, do something like:

    $title = get_the_title( $post->ID );
    echo $title = (strlen($title) > 13) ? substr($title,0,10).'...' : $title;

    If using a custom template, you’ll need to remove the tags you’re using currently.
