show all the hidden events

[Peyman Akhondzadeh]

Hi, How do I show, on a single page, all the hidden events? Just the hidden events only.

Hi. I’m unclear what you’re referring to by “hidden events”. Could you please provide some links and/or annotated screenshots so I can better understand?

[Peyman Akhondzadeh]

Hi, When I hide an event it wont show in the main events listings, that is perfect.

But is there a way I can list those hidden listings on a page? I would like to list all the hidden events on a separate page from the events page.

This link shows all my events, less the hidden ones:
https://thetudorhouse.gallery/events/

I would like a similar page to ONLY show the hidden events.

That checkbox creates  a boolean value for the _EventHideFromUpcoming meta key, so you could use tribe_get_events() — additional reference — along with https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters

However, it sounds like you’re just using that checkbox like an Event Category.

You might want to give Event Categories a try and see if they provide you enough of what you’re wanting that you don’t need to custom code anything. For example:

• http://wpshindig.com/events/ all events (“Hide” events and “Show” events) would be visible here and in search results
• http://wpshindig.com/events/category/learning/ a category (like “Hide”)
• http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups/ another category (like “Show”) — this could be the link in your site’s menu so it’s where visitors would end up by default

However, if you do use Event Categories, you’d probably then want custom code to redirect http://wpshindig.com/events/ to http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups/

So at least you have two options (both of which need custom coding).

Let me know how it goes for you.

[Peyman Akhondzadeh]

As I don’t really know much about coding; your 1st option is beyond me.
I used the 2nd option and it kinda does the job. but on the events page all events are shown & that’s something I don’t want.

Thanks for the advice. If you can think of another solution please do let me know.

[Cliff]

I understand.

You could use Event Categories, as described, and then redirect /events/ to /events/category/wp-meetups/ using a plugin like Redirection (third party so not guaranteed or supported by us).

Let me know if you need anything else.
