Displaying Category Events in Menu

[Mike]

Hi,
I’m using an additional plugin called “Category Posts in Custom Menu” (http://bmo.re/YarXI5) to list the 4 events that are within a certain Category (‘Featured’), as menu items.

This plugin is really aimed for Posts and Categories of Posts but Events shouldn’t be different. The problem I’m facing is that Tribe is setting some sort of global filter that hides event that have already passed. This is fine, except that filter seems to not engage when I’m on a single event page.

My question is not to go in and diagnose my specific site, but to provide a general response as to a global filter/function of some sort that will hide “past events” from query.

Hello,

I can help give you some information on the global filter/function of some sort that will hide “past events” from a query.

Our queries to get events include this:

'eventDisplay' => 'upcoming'

That is our argument to only get upcoming events. You can use ‘past’ and ‘all’.

Since that is done in a query it is not used on the Single Events Template.

There are many conditionals to use if you would like to check if an event has passed, here is a good source:

You could then follow our themer’s guide to make modifications to the single-event template to hide content after the event is over.

There is also an unofficial plugin called Event Rocket that cleans up past events if you would like to remove them.

Event Rocket

Does that help?

Thanks
