Add an Event that would be out of sequence by date

[D Nautu]

Hi,

I am wondering if your software can add Events to the homepage that would be out of sequence by date? Basically, be able to add any event to the homepage plugin whether it is in sequence of event dates or if the events will happen in various different month but we want to promote the event on the homepage.

Thanks.

Hey!

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I apologize if I’m misunderstanding your question, if the following doesn’t answer your specific request, please don’t hesitate in correcting me.

It sounds like you’re wanting to feature events on the Home page of your website, however, you don’t want those events to be sorted by event date. Rather, you would like them to be displayed in a different order so that you can have control over what is being featured.

This can be accomplished, however it would need to be a custom loop through our events using “tribe_get_events” within your theme. With this query, you can modify the orderby argument to be something different than the default event date.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Thanks for responding back. Yes and no. Yes, I want to be able to post events to the homepage that are not sorted by date. However, it wouldn’t be sorted in any order at all. I would like to be able to pick and choose the events to show on the homepage. One in December, one in January and two in March, etc…

Hey,

Thanks for following up!

If that’s the case, you can take the same advice from the first response with using the custom query. You could then manually control the order using a plugin such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-types-order/.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
