Community Event Listing Dates Backwards

[Tim]

Hi, my community events are listing backwards by dates. I can’t seem to find an answer on how to fix this.
http://enjoydesmoines.com/events/community/list/ Please help.

Also, I’m not an expert in WordPress and do build things on my site in a timely manner it seems as though I may need help. Do you help or can you suggest experienced people to assist in building with your plugins?’

Thank you

Tim

Still need assistance

Hi, Tim.

This is how it is by default–reverse chronological order.

So there’s no bug here, especially if everything else on your site is working well.

Please also note that “bumping” threads doesn’t get extra attention to your thread. We reply to them in order of original post datetime.

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

I don’t know what bumping a thread means and I wasn’t trying to do anything other than get assistance. It had been over 24 hours since my request and I have timelines to meet. Yes, I have follow up questions and I’ll re-ask the other question I had…Do you help or can you suggest experienced people to assist in building with your plugins?’

Follow up questions:
1. Why would someone want it in reverse order…they have to go 49 pages deep to see the soonest upcoming event.
2. How do I reverse it so it’s chronological?
3. Everything we on my site isn’t working, when I put a plugin on the front page it doesn’t show or stops my site from loading the home page.
4. Do you have people that can and will help more than giving me a link to read and then having to go back and forth for a couple days to get something figured out? – If not, can you refer someone?

Thank you

Your hopeful Customer,

Tim

Tim, bumping a thread in any forum (not just our forums) means to reply before anyone else has. It’s “a thing” because some forums sort by most recent activity.

Here’s a code snippet I came up with for your request:

https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/c2c929f1073d13b06372083ed02d3cd2

Please note that, per our Scope of Support / Terms, we do not provide custom coding, but sometimes we’re able to go a bit above and beyond, like I did here.

I hope it works well for you.

 

If you need more in-depth customizations, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

For your 3rd item, please create a new, separate thread for that issue and include any screenshots, links, or video screen capture that may help us understand the issue fully. I’m requesting this of you because we keep our threads focused on just one issue at a time to ensure we fully answer each of your questions/issues. Please keep this in mind for the future, and thanks for your understanding.

Please let me know how this code snippet works out for you.

And, in case you’re unfamiliar…

Best practice for adding custom code (like to implement a PHP snippet to modify The Events Calendar) is to create a functionality plugin, unless it’s something specific to your theme, in which case best practice is to make sure you’re using a child theme<i>,</i> then add the customization to your child theme’s functions.php file.

I hope this information helps!

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!
The Events Calendar Support Team
