Old Events First

[calendarofantiques]

Hi- I am testing the calendar on a new site and its showing the events at later dates first in the blog post feed. http://www.dallasartcalendar.com How can this be corrected to show the nearest events at the top?

[Brian]

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help you out here.

Do you have any snippets in your theme’s function.php related to the Events Calendar?

I ask because by default it should show in the opposite order we are seeing on your site.

Either way, we have this snippet to change the order:

Order Events by Post Date in the Main WordPress Post Query

Does that help change the order?

Let me know.

Thanks

The problem is we need it by event date, not post date. Eric

Ok thanks for the information. I did not see anything in that file that would change the order.

Can you please follow our testing for conflicts guide to see if that can narrow down the issue.

Testing Conflicts With Themes and Other Plugins

Let me know what you find out and we can go from there.

Thanks

[calendarofantiques]

Unfortunately with only the Events Calendar Plugin or the Twenty Thirteen theme, it’s still in reverse order.

[calendarofantiques]

Just to be clear, I changed the theme AND disabled the plugins.

There is nothing in those files that helps as nothing there changes the post order.

When you only ran the Events Calendar and Twenty-Thirteen did you created a new event and did is display in the wrong order?

What happens when you add regular posts to the home page what order do they display in?

Also, when adding that coding I referenced before did you try adding it and did it change the order? I understand it is incorrect, but just trying to see if anything will change the order.

I tried two posts. They displayed in the correct order (test 2 was above test one).

Yes, I just tried adding two events with the other template. They fell in line with the events-in reverse order.

I could set up a login for you if you would like to have a look.

[calendarofantiques]

On the calendar list view they show in the correct order.

[calendarofantiques]

If this can’t be accomplished, is there a way to put the calendar on the front page? I can’t figure that out either since the settings don’t recognize events as a page.

Thanks!

[Brian]

We only have the Mini Calendar Short Code.

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/inserting-the-calendar-into-a-page-or-post/

In the next update we will have shortcodes for all the Widgets.

Right now there is the Event Rocket Plugin an unofficial plugin maintained by some of our developers that has shortcodes in it:

Event Rocket

It has an option to put the Main Events View on the Home Page you can read about it here:

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

Does that work?

[calendarofantiques]

Yes! The Rocket plugin works!

[Brian]

Great, glad it helps, I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need help on this or something else please post a new ticket.

Thanks!
