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.
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
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?
