Howdy sugardaddy,
That is not impossible at all. Our plugin actually already does that. If an event is ongoing, like it started yesterday but hasn’t ended yet, then it will show up in both the list widget and the List view of The Events Calendar. If you are not seeing that, then you are actually experiencing a glitch!
If it is not behaving as I described, you should test for a conflict. It sounds like you are experiencing a conflict. This guide walks you through how to test for a conflict, and then identify what is conflicting.
Cheers!
