    Hi Kriesi-Support,

    I’m pretty new to Enfold and I’m trying to do a website for a client that offers events which he wants to display in a custom format plus a selection of events based on months and weekdays in the sidebar. Pretty much like this example here:

    http://www.mirko-reeh.com/events.html

    I’m trying to find out if this is possible within WordPress and Enfold without using a shop integration. So I entered the events as posts and created categories for months and weekdays. But now I can’t find a way to get a sidebar as displayed in the example. Is there a way? It’s not much help if all the existing categories are displayed and they aren’t ordered. Also, the custom sidebar plugins I tried didn’t work with Enfold.

    I hope this is a “newbie” question with an obvious and simple answer – thanks for helping me out here!

    Cheers,
    Florian

    Hi fprabst!

    So the sidebar is not displaying on your archives? You can set that in Dashboard > Enfold > Sidebar settings.

    If that’s not it then send us a link to your page so we can get a better idea of what’s going on.

    Best regards,
    Elliott

    Hi Elliott,

    The sidebar is displaying, but a pure “Archive” sidebar isn’t helping, because the events are in the future so I can’t simply use the timestamp of the blog post for the sidebar. So if I activate the Archive Widget in the Blog Sidebar it displays the post date. Which doesn’t really help. If I put the post into the future, it won’t display at all, naturally. Or did I miss something?

    Here’s the (pretty empty) blog page as it is now:
    http://hellhof.sixtyten.myhostpoint.ch/veranstaltungen/

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    So your wanting something similar to the archive widget but for events in the future. It would be best to check out the “Events Calendar” plugin, https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/. It’s what we recommend for handling events. We have made sure it’s compatible with our framework.

    Cheers!
