"Hide From Event Listings" doesn't fully hide event

[Sean]

We have an event that’s invite only: The page is noindex, not mentioned in the site, and people need the event link given to them to access. We’re using the “Hide From Event Listings” option to achieve this.

However a bug was discovered when someone was able to access the event by clicking on the Next Event link on the bottom of the previous event.

We remedied this short term by adding the following CSS:

.tribe-events-nav-next a[href="EVENT_URL_GOES_HERE"],
.tribe-events-nav-previous a[href="EVENT_URL_GOES_HERE"] { display: none; }

Bringing this to your attention if in case this is not intended functionality.

* We understand that password protection would have prevented this; however we didn’t want people to memorize a website URL and an access password for user experience purposes.

Hey Sean,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

This definitely isn’t the intended functionality. I’ve tested on my local install and noticed that events that should be hidden are still showing in the previous and next links on the single view of the event. This is currently a known bug that should be getting addressed in an upcoming release.

I apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks!
