[tribe_events_list] / [display-posts] shortcode: how to show the last past event

[Philippe]

Hi,
I pubish 1 event per week.
I use the [display-posts] shortcode to show :
– the next event : (the next week)
[display-posts post_type=”tribe_events” taxonomy=”tribe_events_cat” tax_term=”dla_newsletter” title=”La prochaine” orderby=”date” order=”ASC” include_excerpt=”false” wrapper=”div” offset=”0″ posts_per_page=”1″]

– and the 3 further events : (the 3 next week after the next week)
[display-posts post_type=”tribe_events” taxonomy=”tribe_events_cat” tax_term=”dla_newsletter” title=”Les suivantes” orderby=”date” order=”ASC” include_excerpt=”false” wrapper=”li” offset=”1″ posts_per_page=”3″]

I want to show the last past event (the last week)
I try to use [tribe_events_list] or the [display-posts] shortcode with many parameters, but I can’t show the last past event.

Thanks!
Philippe.

Hey Philippe,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

The simplest approach here would be to build a custom query using “tribe_get_events()” and setting the “eventDisplay” argument to “past”.

You can then limit the output to just one event and set build the view however you would like.

Thanks!

Hi Josh,
thank for you answer, but I’m not a developer, and I have never use PHP 🙁
It will be so simple, if I could use “-1” for the offset argument.
Have you another trick to give me for non PHP fluent to solve my issue?

Thanks,
Philippe.

Hey Philippe,

Unfortunately I don’t believe there is a simpler way to approach or a built-in way using the list shortcode like that. You could try adding eventDisplay=”past” to see if the compiled arguments do impact the query. I don’t believe it will work, but if it does it would be the simplest approach outside of custom loop.

Thanks!
