Past events not moving to trash

[mryoungconntact.com]

Do I have this wrong? Should events that are past, Move to the Trash? If yes, we seem to have some that do not. noitced these are events that are imported without a year going in that is visible.

Hi,

No, past events do not get automatically moved to the trash by default.

There is a setting for this under Events > Settings > General tab and looks like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ht2k1dp1ubw6azd/shot_180921_174300.jpg

I’m not sure if it has an effect on imported events. Just checking with the developers and will get back to you on that when I get an answer.

Cheers,
Andras

Thanks I did have that setting clicked – for a site with a lot of events 3
months is a little too long. The admin side of moving through events leaves
a lot to be desired and scrolling through hundreds of events that are past
is very time consuming/ I would suggest 15 days 30 days as an option. If i
can find the link for sugggesstion will add. Thank you for your attention
to our support questions.

Hello Mitchell,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I’ll check with a developer if another option can be added with a bit of code and I already suggested this modification.

Alternatively, if you are also using Events Calendar Pro, then you could give a try to our free Advanced Post Manager (APM) plugin. With the help of that you can set up different filtering options for your event list on the back-end.

Hi Mitchell,

I just got info from a developer, we are looking into extending the possibilities of that option. It will still need to go through some strategy discussions as what I saw looks to be a more robust feature.

Meanwhile let me know if APM works out for you.

Thank you for your response.

APM is a help but what we need most is the ability to search a Field. We
have a goal for many events [10,000+] and there is a lot of scrolling even
with APM to address issues of editing etc.

I would point you to the admin in Joomla – as it is much more flexible than
in WP – we switched fo WP for events because of some of the plugin features
and ability to aggregate events.

Hi Mitchell,

I’m sorry, I’m getting a bit confused here.

Originally you said that you basically do not want to see past events. While we are working on improving that ‘remove past events’ feature I suggested you to use APM.

Now you are mentioning some kind of a “search”. Could you give more details on this?

APM does give you the possibility to search / filter the title of the events, or to search in the description of the events.

Beside this, after filtering for some dates, you can still use the built-in search function of WordPress.

If you can give me a detailed explanation of what you exactly imagine I might be able to help you further.

Cheers,
Andras

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!
