Shortcode for events list – hide event after start date reached

[Chris]

Is it possible to remove an event from a list using the events list shortcode once it reaches or passes the event start date? If you could direct me to the function running this I would be grateful.

Events on my site run for up to 4 weeks so new events need to be listed as soon as one begins.

Cheers.

Hi, Chris.

Could you please provide a link to view this in action? Also, if you share an annotated screenshot or video screen capture, it might help communicate what you’re seeing and what exactly the issue is so I can do my best to help.

Hi thanks for getting back to me.

I currently use the Avada shortcade to output a list of or the next single event available:

[fusion_events cat_slug="courses" number_posts="1" columns="1"/]

I want the list to only show future events – not those currently running. Could I use the below function but perhaps change the ‘_EventEndDate’ to ‘_EventStartDate’ to override the above shortcode default behaviour of showing an event in the list until the end date is reached?

We do not provide support for third-party themes or plugins that integrate with ours.

However, I did dig into that shortcode and found its logic in this file: /wp-content/plugins/fusion-core/shortcodes/class-fusion-events.php

Their shortcode does not use tribe_get_events() and I believe that means your tribe_events_pre_get_posts hook is not firing.

Also, it’s an action hook, and your code is “add_filter”.

So, multiple things going on–using Avada and trying to do custom coding–neither of which we provide support for, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your personal developer, Avada support, or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

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!
