Past Event URL Stopped Working in v4.0

[paulhazon]

Hi there – I am using a URL in a menu on my site to display past events from a certain category. The URL is as follows:

http://hills4thrills.com/activities/category/race/list/?tribe_event_display=past

That worked fine until the recent update to 4.0. Now, the past events are no longer showing. Is there a new way to use this URL, or can you suggest a fix?

Thanks!

Hi Paul.

I tested http://hills4thrills.com/activities/list/?tribe_event_display=past (not category-specific) and it worked (did display past events).

On my local testing site with Twenty Fifteen theme, I tested and displaying past events of a specific category worked fine (just like the main, non-category-specific events page on your site).

As such, could you try temporarily activating the default Twenty Fifteen theme and seeing if the issue persists?

If disabling the theme fixes it, we have narrowed the issue down to a theme conflict. Do you have any theme overrides for the Events Calendar? If so could you try disabling them by renaming your [themename]/tribe-events/ folder to ‘tribe-events-bak’. Did that fix it?

If the issue persists in the default Twenty Fifteen theme, then we have a different set of debugging steps. Please keep the Twenty Fifteen theme enabled, and also disable any plugins other than the ones from Modern Tribe to see if that fixes it. If it does, please try re-enabling the plugins one at a time until the issue resurfaces. When it does resurface, can you let me know which plugin caused that to happen?

Hey Cliff – Thanks for your assistance with this. I tried the things you said and found no change. However, when I tried a different category, it worked fine. I realized there must be an issue with the races category specifically. Guess I should have tried this before! Anyway, as it turns out, the past events in the races category had somehow had their category removed. I’m not sure how that happened, but of course, when I added the category back and revisited the URL, the past events were showing as expected. So, my bad I guess. Nothing wrong with the Events Calendar this time!

Glad you got it figured out!
