Hi – I have a site that is a mixture of syandard posts and events. I’m currently using ThemePunch’s Essential Grid plugin to display both on the front end together (which works pretty well!). However, for it to work perfectly, I’d like to exclude any events that have past event dates. Is there any way I can do this for post lists on the front end globally?
Hi there, Rob! Thanks for getting in touch. By the way, I love how the site looks–nice work. 🙂
Great question. I do want to note first of all, though, that we are fairly limited in terms of helping out with custom development questions like this one. That said, we’d love to point you in the right direction if we can.
Honestly, I’m unfamiliar with the Essential Grid plugin and how it creates its query to fetch posts. If it allows you to modify or override its query, you will want to customize the one it uses to fetch Events posts using the tribe_get_events() function. Here’s a handy tutorial with examples of how to use this query, including one that shows how to limit the display to only upcoming events.
Another possibility would be to try installing a plugin that adds an expiration date to posts. I don’t have any recommendations that I’ve tested, but this one looks promising. This way, you could add an expiration date to your Events posts, which will automatically remove them on a certain date.
I’m sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
GeoffOk – thanks for pointing me in the right direction Geoff. I’ll let you know if I find a solution!
