All Day Events Have Passed – Link Wrong

[Stephen]

1. All day events I create say they have passed before the day is over. How do I prevent that from happening?
2. Tthe event is called Two Wine & Dine for $49.99, but in the link below the date to see another event the title is only Two Wine & Dine for .99 (instead of $49.99). Why is that wrong or cutoff?

Hey there, Stephen!

1. All day events I create say they have passed before the day is over. How do I prevent that from happening?

Yes, once an event starts it is considering past rather than upcoming. You might be able to overcome this by changing the cutoff time for days in Events > Settings to something that cuts the date off at a later time other than 12am.

2. Tthe event is called Two Wine & Dine for $49.99, but in the link below the date to see another event the title is only Two Wine & Dine for .99 (instead of $49.99).

That’s definitely a bug. I see that we already have an open ticket to address this, though I don’t have a specific timeframe for when it will be released. I do, however, have a snippet that has corrected this for others.

Please try adding that snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and I’ll make sure to note this thread in our system in the meantime. 🙂

Cheers!

1. I’ve had it set to 2:00AM and I still have the same problem.

2. That seems to have worked, thanks.

Hi Stephen–thanks for following up!

Awesome, i’m glad the snippet worked for the second issue there. 🙂

What happens if you set a specific time range for the event? For example, instead of using “All Day” try using a specific time range for the open and closing times of the event (e.g. 8am – 5pm). Does the event show as passed in that circumstance?

Cheers!

Yes that works. But is there going to be a fix for all day events? They should show as passed only on the following day.

Hi Stephen!

I hear what you’re saying, but I’m not sure we’re seeing this as a bug at this point. Once the event is “in progress” it will is seen as as past event rather than an upcoming one, and that’s the behavior we’d expect right now.

If you have another thought on how this could or should work, please do share it on our UserVoice forum–this is where we take new feature requests and we’d love to see your idea in there for consideration.

Cheers!
