Is there a way to have the [EVENT_LISTS] show just the next event? I’m trying to create a page or code for the sidebar to show just the next event in each of my categories.

I recommend using the upcoming events widget. In the WordPress>Appearance>Widgets menu, drag the Event Espresso upcoming events widget into the the theme’s widget area.
You can set it to display one event, and one specific category. Then use a plugin like widget logic to conditionally load the corresponding widget for each category page.

That almost works. What I’d really like is something like this in the widget/sidebar (we teach, so our events are classes)
Next Classes (just a header)
Class Category 1
next class
Class Category 2
next class
ect…

That can be done either by modifying the code in widget.php to display multiple different categories, or by adding multiple Upcoming Events widgets for each category.

Chris,
Any tips for modifying the widget code? Not my favorite option, but may have to explore it.

If you’re going to go the modification route, copy widget.php over to /wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates so the changes do not get overwritten on updates.
I don’t think you would need to modify the widget code to get this result. Something like this should work:
From there, you might need to style a few things if it looks broken up, and that could be handled by customizing the WordPress theme. See this guide on how to customize the upcoming events widget: http://staging.eventespresso.com/wiki/customizing-your-upcoming-events-widget-using-css-and-template-files/

What if I want to use the Event_List function to display in one list events from two different categories? I tried:
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier=category1,category2]
But it didn’t work.

OK, I just found this thread: http://staging.eventespresso.com/topic/display-multiple-categories-on-calendar/#post-14779
The suggested solution might work, but it’s clumsy. I hope the ability to do this becomes a feature in the future.
