Is it possible to show past events as an archive?

[Fiona Storey]

Hi
I have installed The Events Calendar (currently standard edition) on a website I am designing for a musician. He would like to show past events on a page (a different page from the forthcoming events) to show his audience the scope and breadth of the events he does. As the events will already be in the database for the forthcoming events the easiest way of doing this and avoiding double entry (which in my experience will probably never happen!) would be to have another archive page from The Events Calendar but only showing events that are scheduled for yesterday and before. He would then have the option to edit the events to report how it went, add photos etc. Would this be possible on the pro version?
Many thanks, Fiona

Hi,

Thanks for the interest in the Events Calendar Pro.

What you describe is possible to have a past event archive, however, it is not a feature of Pro to have a Separate Archive Page. So you would have to customize it yourself and we could help answer questions, but for the most part you are on your own for customizations.

The events are a custom post type and times are custom fields you can use them in a wp_query to get the past events on a custom template.

The reason we do not have this feature is WordPress considers the Month, List, and other views to be an archive template.

You maybe to setup something using the Event Rocket

https://wordpress.org/plugins/event-rocket/faq/

It is an unofficial plugin that does have some shortcodes that might help.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Thank you – The Event Rocket worked perfectly! Great plugin now doing everything I need for now, but will definitely consider upgrading in the future.
