Hi Mark!

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’m happy to help you with that. 🙂

You can try using the ‘meta_key’ argument like the following:

// Retrieve upcoming recurring events only
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'eventDisplay' => 'list',
'meta_key' => '_EventRecurrence'
) );

This will only fetch upcoming recurrent events because they are the only events that will have an ‘_EventRecurrence’ meta key associated.

I hope that helps and let me know if you have other questions.

Cheers!
Victor

its not working see that here old events still display https://consciousdancer.com/profile/claire-at-inbodied.com/
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
‘author’ => $id,
‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
‘orderby’ => ‘date’,
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘list’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_EventRecurrence’

) );

Hi Mark!

Thanks for coming back!

You are using the ‘orderby’ => ‘date’ argument which will order events by date of creation and not by event start date. By only using ‘eventDisplay’ => ‘list’ argument you will already be fetching the upcoming events.

Does it help? Let me know about it.

Best,
Victor

Hi
Its still showing past events.I need to show events future events and recurring events as per user profile.
the query you provide it does not solve my problem.

Hi Mark!

I tweaked it a little to make sure it works as expected:

$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'author' => $id,
'order' => 'ASC',
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_EventStartDate',
'value' => date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s' ),
'type' => 'DATETIME',
'compare' => '>',
),
array(
'key' => '_EventRecurrence',
'compare' => 'EXISTS',
),
),
) );

Let me know if that works now.

[Mark Metz]

thanks its works

[Victor]

That’s great! I’m glad it worked! Thanks for following up to let us know about it. 🙂

I’ll close this thread now, but feel free to open a new one if any other question comes up.

Best!
Victor
