    Here’s a proof of concept patch that adds the [current-date] shortcode I was thinking of:

    I’m also encountering this issue. The problem occurs when you have a multi-day event (say, March 20 through March 22) in your calendar and are displaying events as a list. With a format like [start-date]: [event-title], they show up like

    – Feb 11: A previous event
    – Mar 20: Multi-Day Event
    – Mar 20: Multi-Day Event
    – Mar 20: Multi-Day Event
    – Apr 17: A subsequent event

    It would be much preferable to have the events show as

    – Feb 11: A previous event
    – Mar 20: Multi-Day Event
    – Mar 21: Multi-Day Event
    – Mar 22: Multi-Day Event
    – Apr 17: A subsequent event

    with each multi-day event entry with the date of that day. Now, I understand that this occurs because I am using the [start-date] shortcode, which always gives the first day of the event, but I don’t see what else I should use. Perhaps there should be a new [current-date] shortcode added?

    Alternatively, perhaps the event shouldn’t be displayed repeatedly for each day, but instead show a range when the event spans multiple days.

    The specific widget settings I’m actually using are

    Display Events as: List
Sort Order: Ascending
Events Per Page: Number of Events, 7
Display Start Date Offset: Number of Days Back, 1
