Anyway to Sort event calendar posts by event date outside of a widget?

[d20games]

I want to use the event calendar with a theme that has a lot of great post display widgets, but doesn’t have any way to sort the posts by event date. The theme is Newspaper and of course they will say the same thing that you probably will, that it isn’t their area. But I need to either find someone who knows the code to do this, or has it.

Hi, Ben.

Our plugin creates 3 separate custom post types: Events, Organizers, and Venues.

The Events custom post type has custom fields for storing the event date, time, timezone, and more information.

That’s why a typical “display posts” widget or shortcode typically doesn’t work with our The Events Calendar plugin (unless you wanted to sort by Published Date, which you likely don’t want to because it wouldn’t make sense).

So, sorry, but the best I can recommend here is using one of our own plugin’s widgets or shortcodes or, if you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
