Display Previous Events on Page (Embedded)

[ief1634i]

I have Calendar Events Pro and I would like to showcase “Previous Events” on a dedicated page. I can’t seem to make that work. I could always link to a page like this myfirm.org/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past But I’d rather have more flexibility. For some reason I can’t make any of the event widget’s work to display previous events and the shortcodes here won’t work either https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

I want to asssign previous events with a category that says “past-events” and have it be displayed on a page (e.g. [tribe_events_list category=”past-event”] Why can’t I create a list of previous events?

Hi @ief1634i,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’ll help you figuring the best way to do this…

Per default you can only see past events in that URL (myfirm.org/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past), you can create a redirect from a URL like myfirm.org/past-events/ to that one. Do you think that could help?

Regarding the widgets, they show upcoming events. This behaviour can be modified by hooking and altering the widget query. Is this the only list widget you are using on your page?

Please let me know about it and I’ll try to find a workaround for this,
Best,
Nico

That’s odd. the widget should display any content of a certain category regardless of whether it was in the past or future. I would love to have a hook to showcase past events. While I am on it, the link of previous events http://www.ilpfoundry.us/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past does not display our most recent event: http://www.ilpfoundry.us/event/internet-law-policy-foundry-west-coast-open-house/ I don’t know why. If you didn’t have the direct link it would be hard to find.

Hey @ief1634i,

Thanks for following up!

That’s odd. the widget should display any content of a certain category regardless of whether it was in the past or future.

I guess it is for your use case but makes sense for most folks. We can look into modifying the widget query args to show past events. Do you think that would work for you? This might change the behaviour of all event list widgets, is that ok?

the link of previous events http://www.ilpfoundry.us/events/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=past does not display our most recent event: http://www.ilpfoundry.us/event/internet-law-policy-foundry-west-coast-open-house/ I don’t know why. If you didn’t have the direct link it would be hard to find.

To change the order of past events, check out this knowledgebase article featuring a snippet to do so: Show past events in reverse chronological order.

Please let me know about it,
Best,
