Version three breaks custom event display using (WP_Query)

[mindshare]

Any thoughts on why this code no longer returns the correct set of events in the new version?


$month = new WP_Query(
array(
'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
'start_date' => date('j M Y', strtotime('first day of this month')),
'end_date' => date('j M Y', strtotime('last day of this month')),
'eventDisplay' => 'all',
'posts_per_page' => -1
)
);

I have a custom events widget I wrote which worked fine before the latest upgrade.

Hi mindshare,

I’m not sure, what is happening with the above query?

Well have been using it to display “this months” events (along with two other custom queries in the widget for “this week” and “next month”).

Now with the latest plugin update the queries seem to be returning all events, without respect to the start/end parameters.

Here’s complete code in case that helps:

if(date('l') == 'Monday') {
$start_date_week = date('j M Y', strtotime('today'));
} else {
$start_date_week = date('j M Y', strtotime('last Monday'));
}
$end_date_week = date('j M Y', strtotime('this Sunday'));

$start_date_month = date('j M Y', strtotime('first day of this month'));
$end_date_month = date('j M Y', strtotime('last day of this month'));

$start_date_next = date('j M Y', strtotime('first day of next month'));
$end_date_next = date('j M Y', strtotime('last day of next month'));

//echo ''; var_dump($end_date_next); echo ''; die;

?>

Hi mindshare,

Can you please post the code to http://snippi.com/

Thanks,
Jonah

[mindshare]

Yep here you go: http://snippi.com/s/p6ksd5t

Hi Jonah. Any updates on this?

[Jonah]

Hi mindshare,

Ok, two things. One, you need to use ‘eventDisplay’ => ‘custom’ on any custom query now or else our plugin will hijack yours. Two, your date/time format for the query needs to be in ‘Y-m-d H:i:s’ format. Try those modifications and let me know how that goes.

Regards,
Jonah

That rocks! I totally worked. Thanks so much for the help.

[Jonah]

You’re welcome mindshare, glad to hear it! Let us know if you need help with anything else.
