Upcoming Events widget displays no events.
-
I deleted it and re entered it individually yesterday without apparent effect
I should have mentioned you need to wait a bit for the changes to go through. They usually don’t show up immediately after a change because of how calendar providers and WordPress.com both typically cache that type of data for at least 1 hour.

Hi sorry for the late reply.
I’ve been trying to get my widget to work but it’s not working.
I’ve added this in from my google calandar into my widget but it is not working. I’ve schedueled an event on the 8th, 9th and 15th of march. I’m about to schedule one more on the first of march but as of now nothing is showing up.
Here is my ical link.
https://www.google.com/calendar/ical/t09g93jn25j9lvuicc1ecdneac%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.icsthe widget has been there for almost a week already

But there is no content in that file when I look at it.
Are you certain that’s the right calendar link?
Are you certain the calendar information is not set as private?

Great! I will let you know that there is still a bug in the widget for some types of recurring events, so if you add the events individually for now then everything should work.

Hi, I too am having trouble with recurring events. I keep adjusting the calendar to have the event show up initially but once the first (manually entered) event passes it indicates there are no upcoming events. The initial event I enter is there but nothing for upcoming. It should be showing the next 3 events.
Here’s my site: http://amazinggracewatseka.com
Here’s my google calendar: https://www.google.com/calendar/b/2/render?pli=1&t=AKUaPmYYRtIlflAReKbJ2sLFdBgseD6kczKgkOiMZDSneb3vpFAZL0KZHBtfdwclIilyuSQwx4jI
Thank You!

@amazinggracewatseka, there is still a bug with regard to displaying recurring events. I’m not sure when the developers will have another chance to look at it, but I have made sure that the bug report is good and included as much detail as I could collect. I will add your case to the report! After that, we’ll just need to wait to hear back from the developers. In the mean time, switching away from using recurring events is the only workaround until the bug can be fixed.
@kristinbeeler, I’m not sure if the issue you’re reporting is the same as the others in this thread or not. Could you please start a new thread and include a little bit more detail about the problem such as a specific example of an event that works and then stop working (or does the whole widget start and stop working?). You can start a new thread at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1 or you can use the form at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

Actually! It would help so much to keep separate bugs in separate forum reports (otherwise they tend to get tangled and it gets confusing for long threads).
Would you mind terribly starting a new help request? I will take a closer look at your iCal file and report what I find on the new help request.

I think these several of these bugs are interrelated. Just search the history on the Upcoming Events widget. One problem gets fixed and an old one reappears.

I tend to agree. I’ve removed it from my website. It’s too potentially confusing for people.

@k4gar, I think you’re right! As it turns out, the myriad number of ways different calendars and different event setups in different calendar apps output iCal data is a bit more complex than it seems on the surface.
Sorry it’s been a pain!
I’m not sure on a time frame for an update, but someone will post back here as soon this widget can be reviewed again. In the mean time, the best route I know of if you do want to keep using the widget is to setup events as individual ones (not recurring) until the bug can be fixed. If that’s too much of a pain, then I think temporarily removing the widget like you guys said is the next best route for now.

@designsimply. Thanks for the update. I hope my input will help in building the flow chart for a permanent solution.
-
Problems are back again :/ Same issue as others. The calendar skips all events up until 17/3

Sorry for the trouble! We just need to wait for this widget to get reviewed again. In the mean time, not using recurring events is probably the best workaround until then.
