 * Whenever I change options in the backend [Appearance > Widgets] of my site they
   don’t reflect in the frontend. For instances no change takes effect when I tick
   the “Show Future Events Only” or “Use Small Picture” boxes.
 * (I’m trying to reverse the order that the events are displayed and remove past
   events, but none of the options are taking effect.)

 * I edited the code and changed: `foreach ($fqlResult as $keys => $values) {` to`
   foreach (array_reverse($fqlResult) as $keys => $values) {`
 * However the problem still remains. I can’t make changes to many of the options
   from within WordPress. I can’t change the size of the image, the number of events
   shown, future events displaying, etc…

   and the Facebook is [http://www.facebook.com/honeyhivegallery/events](http://www.facebook.com/honeyhivegallery/events).

 * thanks for your email.
    I’m posting my answer here as well for others.
 * your site seems to use the small picture as you marked.
    about future events 
   only. notice when using graph api this setting doesn’t work. check if you use
   it or not. try to untick the graph api setting.

 * Thanks for your response.
 * I’m unclear what graph API does, but when I untick the graph API setting to show
   future events only, nothing shows at all.

 * I checked your page with the plugin.
    I’ll add the fix for reversing the order
   when using graph api. thanks for the fix.
 * I suggest to uncheck “use graph api”.
    Checking “show future only” and “use small
   pics” works ok.
 * Tested here: (Events2 block)

 * I did all that. It just says: “There are no events” It seems to work on your 
   test site. Could it be something other than the plugin?

 * Will you send me a screenshot of your options in the widget section of WordPress?

 * it could be the api key maybe.
    I’ll mail you screenshot of the widget option.
   if that won’t work i’ll let you try my test api key/secret. we’ll do that via
   email though.
