# {link_title} doesn't work

 * I Used the “My Calendar: Upcoming Events” widget in the sidebar.
 * The “Template” value set in the widget is:
    {date} {link_title}
 * However, the 3 events shown in the sidebar on the [http://198.23.131.153/gchf/](http://198.23.131.153/gchf/)
   page don’t link to anywhere. May I know why? Thanks in advance.

 * Did you add links for those events? The link_title tag uses the link you entered
   for your event; and just returns the title if there isn’t one assigned.

 * Hi Joe,
 * Thanks for your reply. I added a page at [http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/](http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/)
   whose content is “[my_calendar]”. The events may be found at [http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/?mc_id=6](http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/?mc_id=6)
   and [http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/?mc_id=2](http://198.23.131.153/gchf/event-details/?mc_id=2).
   But the events in the sidebar still have no links. Any ideas?
 * Thanks,

 * I can’t tell in any way from looking at your site whether your events have links
   included. Did you add a link when you created the event? Link_title will link
   to that – usually, an external link of some sort, but it can be anything.
 * If you’re looking for a link that uses the event details page, you want {details},
   which will work as long as you’ve defined a target page in the settings.

 * Hi Joe,
 * I see. I just noticed the “Event Link (Optional)” custom field on the “Edit Event”
   page. The events in the sidebar have links after I setting this custom field.
   🙂
 * Thanks for your help. 🙂
 * Best regards,
    Box
