Need to get next event date for a recurring event when in the middle of the run

[Howard Grossman]

We are developing a theater website, and on the home page we want to show events that have been tagged ‘featured’, with a date section that shows the next event date to the end date. Currently we have it displaying from the start date to the end date, using ‘echo tribe_get_start_date’, but what I really want is a function such as tribe_get_next_date. Is there a way to retrieve the next event date from today in a recurring event?

Hi Howard,

Thanks for reaching out!

If you are wanting to only display the next upcoming date in a recurring series (instead of all of the upcoming dates), you can do this by checking the “Recurring event instances” option under Events > Settings > General. Can you give this a try and let me know if this gets you what you’re looking for?

If not, and you need to dive into the code, then you can see a full list of available functions here. Customizations are outside the scope of support that we are able to provide here in the forums, but if you need further help with this or have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be happy to try to point you in the right direction!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
