   Let's assume today is the 16th of September.

   I have three events.
   1) House Party : October 4th.
   2) Birthday Week: Sept 12th - 16th
   3) Date Night : Sept 16th

   -------------------------------------------
   I want to display
   [Current Events ]
   Birthday Week ( Now thru Sept 16th )
   Date Night (Sept 16th)

   [Upcoming Events]
   House Party (Oct 4th)

   --------------------------------------------

   If I set....
   Are current events past events? (No)

   And I create two widget,
   1) one for [Current Events] with the Scope set to "Today"
   2) one for [Upcoming Events] with the Scope to "Future"

   I get this ISSUE.
   Birthday Week: Sept 12th - 16th shows up on both, with the
   start date for Current, and the end Date for Upcoming.

   [Current] as Birthday Week (Sept 12th), Date Night (Sept 16th)
   [Upcoming] as Birthday Week (Sept 16th) * This should not appear in my opinion.

   --------------------------------------------

   basically, I think if the event is current, it should not display in the future scope.

   now... if I then
   set "Are current events past events?" (Yes)

   I get...
   [Current] Nothing
   [Upcoming] Nothing

   for my Birthday Week Event

   Thoughts on how to get my specific case to work?

   Also...in the widget there is a bug...if you set the scope dropdown, it doesn't remember after you save the widget...

   its looks like you have a point there in the meantime you can also use text widget then use shortcodes instead like `[events_list scope="future" format="
   <li>#_EVENTLINK</li>
   "]` you just have to play with general arguments and or placeholders.

   Thanks man..

   I'll do it the shortcode way or with the function call.

   Forgot about that one, but, i think the case should still be accounted for in the widget.

   am seeing the widget bug, will fix.

   if you can code, you can create your own custom scope:
