Queries being overridden by pre_get_posts

[Craig]

Hi

Im trying to create a new filter where by only tags that are on upcoming events are shown in the filter, not from past events, using the category.php as a template
This all works fine apart from if I reload the page so that tribe_post_tag is now in the URL

If this i there then any query I do is being overridden

So for instance

		$event_list_args = array(
			'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
			'posts_per_page' => -1
		);
		$event_list_query = new WP_Query( $event_list_args );

This will only bring in the filtered query, even if I try to override the query with this where $term_arr is all my terms

		$event_list_args = array(
			'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
			'posts_per_page' => -1,
			'tax_query' => array(
				array(
					'taxonomy' => 'post_tag',
					'field'    => 'slug',
					'terms'    => $term_arr,
				),
			),
		);
		$event_list_query = new WP_Query( $event_list_args );

I have tried with this

		$venues = tribe_get_events(array(
			'eventDisplay' => 'list',
			'orderby' => 'EventStartDate',
			'order' => 'asc',
			'tag' => $term_string
		));

But even with a list of tags it still gets overridden

How can I get around this as I need the filter to display all the tags I want not just from the filtered WP_Query?

Cheers
Andy

For anyone interested I had to put a pre_get_post in with a higher priority to override it so in my function I called

// Add a pre_get_posts with a high priority
		add_action( 'pre_get_posts', array( $this, 'alter_event_query' ), 99 );
//  Get all events that are upcoming
		$event_list_args = array(
			'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
			'posts_per_page' => -1
		);
		$event_list_query = new WP_Query( $event_list_args );
// Remove the pre_get post
		remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', array( $this, 'alter_event_query' ) );

Then just reset my taxonomies in the query in pre_get_posts
