This plugin provides a solution for site owners who use a popular event calendar plugin and want better control over their sidebar content. It is designed for those who prefer not to leave a widget area blank when there are no scheduled events, allowing for a more polished and informative site layout.
Custom Replacement Content: When the event list widget has no events to display, this plugin shows a custom template file you create. This lets you fill the space with relevant information, calls to action, or branding.
Maintains Layout Integrity: It prevents the widget from simply disappearing, which can disrupt your site's visual structure and leave awkward empty spaces in sidebars or footer areas.
Simple File-Based Setup: You control the replacement content by creating a single PHP template file within your active theme's directory. This method follows standard practices for customizing the parent plugin.
Works with Free and Pro Versions: The plugin automatically detects and uses the correct file path for both the free and commercial versions of the underlying event calendar system.
No Default Empty Message: It removes the default "There are no upcoming events" message, giving you full control over what site visitors see during event downtime.
