Remove events according to certain conditions

[louisecote]

Hello.

I want to create php function that removes all events according to my conditions.
I’ve added additional meta field to Event class, this field stores date when event must be removed.
Is there any simple way to get events by my meta field and remove them?

Hello louisecote,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

There are a couple of options that you could pursue to accomplish what you’re looking for.

• <span style=”line-height: 13px;”>If you would like to use a conditional to control the display, you can follow the Themer’s Guide to copy the different primary views for our plugin into your theme. Then, you could wrap the call for the “single-event.php” files with your condition. Then, if the current post within the loop doesn’t match your condition it isn’t displayed. </span>
• Another approach would be to use a function within your theme’s functions.php file. Within the function, you could modify queries using “pre_get_posts” with your custom meta field parameters. You could then wrap this entire logic around a conditional which checks if the current query is part of The Events Calendar.

Hopefully this should get you pointed in the right direction to help you accomplish what you’re looking for. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.

Thanks!

If I use WP_Query which post_type should I use?
‘post_type’=>’event’ or something else?

Hello louisecote,

Thanks for following up with us!

If you’re using WP_Query, the post type to use there will be “tribe_events”.

Thanks!
