All Events (Past and Upcoming) on the main events page

[Dean]

I was wondering if it was at all possible to have a list of all events on the main events page.
I find it currently if you don’t have any upcoming events the main page looks very dull and not user friendly like so i was looking to see if Past events could be displayed to help fill the page.

Hi Dean,

Interesting question!

It’s certainly possible to do that, however it’s something of a custom development task and so I’m afraid we can’t go into too much depth on this one.

The simplest path, though, might be to try and detect if there are no upcoming events and, if so, pull in the past events with an appropriate piece of text explaining that to the visitor, ie:

We don’t have any upcoming events right now, but check out these previous events for examples of what we get up to around here!

…Or, whatever makes sense in your case – this would just help to avoid confusion amongst visitors. To learn more about tribe_get_events() (the function you would probably use to pull in those past events) and theming in general, check out these resources:

• Using tribe_get_events()
• Themer’s Guide to Customizations

I hope that gives you some ideas 🙂

Definitely. There are lots of great freelance marketplaces – and be sure to look at this resource, too:
