Event Start Date on recurring events

[Sean Norton]

Until v3.0, I was using the tribe_get_start_date function to call the closest upcoming event in a recurring series using the following:
<a href=””>ID, true, ‘M j, Y’); ?>

However, I now am seeing that the tribe_get_start_date now displays the last occurrence of the series. The link points to the right location, so how do I get actual text to read the same? (Should be MMM D, YYYY HH:MM AM format)

[Sean Norton]

<span class=”event-date”&rt;<a href=”<?= tribe_get_event_link($post) ?&rt;”&rt;<?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post-&rt;ID, true, ‘M j, Y’); ?&rt;</a&rt;</span&rt;

So I managed to destroy my pasted example there — whoops. I hope that makes sense to you guys. I use this to call upcoming events for certain categories (filtering via slug term) and just want the next in the series to appear.

Hey Sean,

Unfortunately the forum isn’t great for pasting code. Can you provide it using a service like pastebin or gist? Then we’ll be happy to help out.

Thanks,
Leah

Hi snorton,

When I use tribe_get_start_date, it shows the next upcoming occurence of a series, as opposed to the last of a series like you are experiencing. I see you are passing the post ID two different ways in your code.. $post in the link and $post=>ID in the display. Perhaps some more context could help find out what the issue is?

Cheers,
Kyle

Hm, thanks for pointing out that very obvious oversight. I’m not sure why I was passing the post id two different ways, but using just $post makes it work fine now. thanks.

Glad to hear that worked! Thanks snorton.
