Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
With respect to the questions here
- In order to achieve a closer timeline to that, what you can do is set the dates as outlined below:
– Calendar Start: 5 Years before current
– Earliest Event: Same as start date
– Latest Event: 6 Years after start date
- Please add the following CSS code within the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS section:
.simcal-default-calendar-list ul.simcal-events {margin: 10px 0px 0;padding-left: 0px;}
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Thanks so much for the additional CSS — that’s much better. There’s still a small indent, but much smaller than there was.
For the calendar settings — those settings don’t produce the result I’m looking for. They call the right events, but in forwards rather than reverse order. I want the list to start with the most recent and end with the earliest. Do you know if that is possible?
Many thanks

Hi there,
Thanks for keeping in touch with us.
About the questions here:
1. Please modify the previously shared CSS code to:
.simcal-default-calendar-list ul.simcal-events {
margin: 10px 0px 0 !important;
padding-left: 0px;
}
2. You can modify the settings to:
– Calendar Start: Today
– Earliest Event: 5 Years before start date
– Latest Event: Day end of start date
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Thanks for the reply, that’s really appreciated. The new CSS code fixed the margin! Wonderful.
However those calendar settings produce no events in the list.
All best, Philip

Hi Philip,
Thanks for keeping in touch with us.
Regarding the events display settings, the events that should be rendered will be those for example from today, backwards till the Earliest event. If you are using a list view, no events will be rendered at first if you do not have an event set to occur today. You will need to hence ensure that you have an event set to happen today. Also ensure that you enable the header display in your calendar’s Appearance tab in order to use the back navigation arrow to view the previous events.
I hope this information helps.
Kind Regards
Hi, thanks for the clarification. I am using List view.
That’s handy to know about needing to have an event on the day. However, I put in an event on today in Google Calendar, but those settings (Calendar Start: Today; Earliest Event: 5 Years before start date; Latest Event: Day end of start date) only recall the event today, but nothing prior to that.

Hi there,
Thanks for keeping in touch with us.
In this case, as I had previously advised, kindly ensure that you enable the header display in your calendar’s Appearance tab in order to use the back navigation arrow to view the previous events. Additionally, ensure that your previous events were public. If those events were not public, then they will not be rendered in your calendar.
I hope this information helps.
Kind Regards
Ah i see, thanks — I thought that applied only to Grid view. Thanks so much for the help.
However, it still doesn’t put the events in reverse chronological order. Ideally I just want the simple list of events, without any navigation arrows or time spans indicated, in reverse chronological order starting with the current day. I think maybe this is not possible?

Hi there,
Thanks for keeping in touch with us.
Regarding to your question here, unfortunately that implementation would not be possible without time spans and navigation arrows.
Kind Regards
