Related Events – Past Events Showing

[Abigail Marshall]

When browsing events the “related events” carousel at the bottom of the page sometimes shows events whose date has already passed.

I would like it to only show upcoming (future) workshops.

Is there a way to adjust settings on this? (Not sure whether this is a bug or a feature, but I prefer that past events not be displayed that way)

Howdy Abigail,

That is certainly possible. Here is a snippet that does something similar, and with minor modification can do exactly what you want:

If you change this line to just ‘now()’ it should only show events from the current date forward:

strtotime( '-2 month', $event_start_date )

Does that make sense? That work for you?

Cheers!

Thanks, this seems to work — I added that to my functions.php with this code:

function tribe_related_posts_args_limiter ( $args = array() ) {
	global $post;
	$event_start_date = strtotime( $post->EventStartDate );
	$event_end_date = strtotime( $post->EventEndDate );
	$date_format = Tribe__Events__Date_Utils::DBDATETIMEFORMAT;
	$args['eventDisplay'] = 'custom';
	$args['start_date'] = date_i18n(
		$date_format,
		strtotime( 'now()',  $event_start_date )
	);
	$args['end_date'] = date_i18n(
		$date_format,
		strtotime( '+3 month', $event_end_date )
	);
	return $args;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_related_posts_args', 'tribe_related_posts_args_limiter', 10, 1 );

I’ll monitor it for awhile but it seems to be working for now.

I am happy that is working! Let us know if you ever need anything else. Cheers!
