Recurring events – This Event Has Expired

[Alyson Evans]

Hi
I am linking an event that is a recurring event in two ways:
1. through the menu link
2. through an element in my theme (enfold) which pulls event categories

Both ways i have the same problem the event comes up with a big thing that says “This event has passed”.
is there a way that to the next recurring current event ?

Hi Alyson,

Thanks for reaching out!

How are you linking to the recurring event in the menu? Are you using the link to the original event (first occurrence) in the series? If so, a better approach might be to link to the “See All” page for the recurring event, which will show each of the upcoming events in the series. To do this, go to the event page and click “See All” (see screenshot). You can copy the link to that page into your menu, and this way it will always show the upcoming events in the series.

Regarding the element, I’m not too familiar with the Enfold theme, but if you could tell me which element you are using to display events by category (and send me a screenshot of its configuration if possible), I’ll be happy to see what I can recommend!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Alyson,

Thanks for sharing those screenshots! I took a look at that element, and I don’t see any other settings you could adjust to filter by event date. One thing you could try would be to go under Events > Settings > General and reduce the “Clean up recurring events after” setting so that older events are automatically removed from the site. Another option would be to use the Post Expirator plugin, which allows you to “expire” posts and take certain (configurable) actions when the posts expire, such as adding/removing categories, setting the post to “draft”, and more.

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks,

Jennifer
