If you have no upcoming events on your calendar, by default, you will see the “Latest Past Events” view. We’ve added this view as a way for your site visitors to see events that you’ve previously had rather than an empty calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, you may prefer to see the current month’s calendar, even if it has no upcoming events. In order to do that, you can add a filter to your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have filters to disable the “Latest Past Events” view. You can add one of the following snippets to your theme’s functions.php<\/code> file or by using Code Snippets<\/a> plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To disable the Latest Past View for all Views:<\/p>\n\n\n

\nadd_filter(\n    'tribe_events_views_v2_show_latest_past_events_view',\n    function( $show, $view_slug, $view_object ) {\n        \/\/ We want to disable them all!\n        return false;\n    },\n    10,\n    3\n);\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
There are two approaches for disabling it for one view, the simplest is to use the slug-ified filter. So to disable for just Month View:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadd_filter(\n    'tribe_events_views_v2_month_show_latest_past_events_view',\n    function( $show, $view_slug, $view_object ) {\n        \/\/ We just want to disable this for the month view!\n        return false;\n    },\n    10,\n    3\n);\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
But you may want to disable it for a few and enable it for a few, you can use the “generic” filter to do it like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nadd_filter(\n    'tribe_events_views_v2_show_latest_past_events_view',\n    function( $show, $view_slug, $view_object ) {\n        \/\/ We want to disable for month and photo!\n        if (\n            'month' === $view_slug\n            ||'photo' === $view_slug\n        ) {\n            return false;\n        }\n\n        return $show;\n    },\n    10,\n    3\n);\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
The above snippets will generate an empty display on upcoming events to your views, such as this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the above filters, we also have an extension that includes the option to remove the “Recent Past Events” view. You can find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
