“Upcoming Events” widget broken?

    I have been using the “Upcoming Events” widget for quite a while now. Just today I have realised it is not showing events anymore. I did not change any config settings on my worpress site, so I guess it must have been a recent update (either this plugin or WordPress itself) that broke this widget. Other widgets (like mini calendar or search) are still working for me.

    Does anybody else also see this problem?
    Any hints how/where to make it working again?
    Or is it a bug in the plugin?

    I don’t have any other reports like this, and have not seen any issues. The upcoming events widget is still showing as expected on all the sites I manage where it’s in use and in my dev environments. So I don’t have any specific advice for you. What are your settings for the widget?

    Hi Joe, sorry for the late reply. 🙁

    Is there any way to export/dump the widget settings?

    I’ll add some screenshots. As written above, it used to work fine until recently, nothing has changed in the calendar config, only addons and WordPress itself have been updated. The problem is that the widget is showing nothing but the title. Note that I have defined a “No events text”, but this is not being displayed either. Looks like the widget would actually find an event to display but fails to dispaly it…?

    Events aredefined like this:

    Alright, copy/pasting imags into a message does not work…

    Widget Settings:

    Title: “Nächsts Plenum”
    Blog ID: EMPTY
    Template: “{date}<br/>{time} Uhr, {location}, {street}”
    Widget title links to: EMPTY
    Display upcoming events by: “Events (e.g. 2 past, 3 future)”
    Skip the first n events: 0
    Events sort order: “Ascending (near to far)”
    Events into the future: 1
    Events from the past: 0
    Show only the first recurring event in a series: UNCHECKED
    Categories to display: Only my custom catgeory “Plenum” is checked
    Author or authors to show: EMPTY
    Host or hosts to show: EMPTY
    Location (Type): “All locations”
    Location (Value): EMPTY
    No events text: “Derzeit ist kein Plenum geplant.”

    I have tried many different settings (e.g. modifying “Categories to display”, “Events from the past” etc.) but nothing helps.

    Can you share a link I can look at? I’m wondering if there’s some CSS conflict, and maybe the event is outputting, but is being hidden by something.

    Joe, your hint with CSS was perfectly right!
    I found the following in the custom CSS of WordPress’ “Customizer”:

    div.widget ul.upcoming-events li.mc_plenum.upcoming-event:not(.today) {
      display: none;
    }

    A colleague of mine wanted to hide events of the current day, but was obviously using a wrong CSS selector.

    Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the great plugin!
