Single Event Page Affecting Custom Programmed Event Slider

[Glen Draeger]

I have a custom event slider that shows events from one event category. This works fine everywhere except on a single event page. There it is showing the correct category, but is also showing past events. Is there a way to stop showing past events in my custom code? I don’t even understand how the page itself is affecting my custom code.

Here’s my query:

$args2 = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 20,
‘orderby’ => ‘menu_order’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘special-events’,
)
)
);

Hey Glen,

Great question!

I think a better way to approach the query would be to use the tribe_get_events function rather than get_posts, for the simple reason that it automatically fetches upcoming events rather than both past and upcoming.

Here are a few example of how that works:

Using tribe_get_events

Will that do the trick for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
