add past events to search – genesis

[designagency]

hey there–

i found this thread and thought it would have all i need to add past events to a search but no dice. im not as fluent in php as i might need be to figure it out based on that post.

could you give me a few more hints on what i need to add to my functions.php file so that ALL past events will be included in a users search from the search bar?

Hey Emily,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can try adding the following to your theme’s functions.php file to see if this helps:

add_action( 'tribe_events_pre_get_posts', 'custom_event_search' );

function custom_event_search( $query ) {
if ( is_search() ) {
$query->set( 'eventDisplay', 'custom' );
}
}

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

hi josh–

i popped in the code you sent along, though it doesnt appear to have had an effect. i’ve refreshed my browser but still, no dice. not sure if this has any effect, but the site is designed using genesis.

any other ideas?

many thanks,
emily

Hey Emily,

Thanks for following up with us.

I’ve tested the code in the default Genesis theme and it appears to be working properly showing past events in the site’s search results. One thing you may want to verify though is that within your event settings, under the “General” tab, that you have the following option selected https://cloudup.com/c7ErqpJLrbI.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
