404 page not found on all venue pages

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the help- I think the best way for me at the moment would be to downgrade all of my Event Calendar plugins to a compatible version with my currently working theme. If you can point me in the right direction to do that without messing up currently existing events, I’d really appreciated it!

Hi Geoff,
I downgraded the event calendar plugin to version 4.2.7, so now my Event Calendar plugins are in the 4.2._ versions, but still all of my venue pages go to a 404 page. I checked through any custom code I added in the child theme, and was actually able to narrow down the problem to this bit of code I added in functions.php:

/** from https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/how-to-hide-past-events/  **/
add_filter('tribe_events_pre_get_posts', 'filter_tribe_all_occurences', 100);

function filter_tribe_all_occurences ($wp_query) {
        if ( !is_admin() )  {
 
                $new_meta = array();
                $today = new DateTime();
                $start_date =  tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'Y-m-d H:i:s' ); // 'Y/m/d'
                $today->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles'));

                //-RD display current events where start date is less than one week before today
                $week_past_start_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($start_date. ' - 7 days'));

                // Join with existing meta_query
                if(is_array($wp_query->meta_query))
                        $new_meta = $wp_query->meta_query;
 
                // Add new meta_query, select events ending from now forward
                $new_meta[] = array(
                        'key' =>  _EventStartDate,
                        'type' => 'DATETIME',
                        'compare' => '>=',
                        'value' => $week_past_start_date
                        // original code:  'value' => $today->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') 
                );
                $wp_query->set( 'meta_query', $new_meta );
        }
        return $wp_query;
} 

I do need the functionality this code provides (it hides events that are ongoing, but already started over a week ago), but it appears that commenting out this code makes the venue pages appear just fine. I’m not sure why this would impact the venue pages, but somehow it does.

Is there a better way to achieve my goal of hiding currently-in-process events that began over a week ago, that won’t cause all the venue pages to show 404 not found?

thanks,
Ryan
