Events in blog loop by post date

[adlindberg]

Is it possible for events to appear in my main page blog loop by their publish date (or other) rather than by their, um, future “happening” date? My blog loop is turning into a pile of events with other posts at the bottom.

Hi, adlindberg. Great question! 🙂

Unfortunately, there isn’t currently a way to change the event sort order for the blog loop. If that’s a setting you’d like to see , we’d be grateful if you’d suggest it on our UserVoice forum.

Sorry that I don’t have a more immediate solution for you!

Actually, adlindberg, upon further reflection, maybe I do have something to suggest for you, assuming you feel up to customizing this on your own.

Providing you have a good working knowledge of WP Query, please take a look at this in our documentation. You should be able to hook into  the ‘tribe_events_query_posts_orderby’ filter and do what you want with the sorting.

If this isn’t something you feel comfortable tweaking on your own, that should be enough for a third-party dev to quickly get you sorted.

Hope that helps! 🙂

Thank you for your responses. I am not very skilled with WP Query, but I’ll do some reading and see if it is something I’d like to attempt. AND I will add my request to the UserVoice forum.

Thanks for the follow-up, adlindberg. 🙂 Hope you have fun with the project if it’s something you decide to pursue yourself. We really appreciate you contributing to the UserVoice forum!
