Hi, are you planning to test this plug-in with WP 5.3 and keep it up to date?

Yes, definitely. That being said, the plugin most likely works as is in the new version of WordPress. I don’t think that they have recently played around with the widget API.

Is there a shortcode so I can put the event widget into a gutenberg shortcode block on my page? I do not want to use the default footer or sidebar widget.

Not at this time. This plugin only offers a widget. That being said, there are some other plugins out there that allow you to display widgets in blocks. For example: https://organicthemes.com/builder/

Is there a way to change the frontend widget title? I looked in the php file and I was able to change it on the admin side, but not the frontend. Also, any advice for adding a reoccuring event or have the option to disable dates per event.

Hi and sorry for the long delay before responding. I don’t check the comments on my blog very often. Most support requests are made on the plugin pages: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-listing-widget/.
Now, for your question, you can change the widget title by setting the field called Widget Title when you instantiate the widget. It is one of 4 configuration fields when you put the widget in your sidebar.
Can you expand a bit on what you mean by recurring event? Something that happens weekly or monthly? You can just hide the event dates by adding a CSS rule to hide the date class:
.events-listing-date {
display:none;
}
Then put the event date really far in the future. But at that point, if no events have any date, you’d almost be better using a text widget and linking to a few static pages for your events, no?
