What do I replace deprecated Tribe__Events__Query with in this function snippet?

[Cynthia Lockley]

Trying this again from Firefox. I kept getting logged out in Safari. Version 4 seems to have deprecated every Tribe__Events__ in the code. I’d like to find out what to use in my function before I install Version 4.

I noticed that one of the changes for Version 4 is “Deprecated – Removed some methods that have been deprecated since version 3.6 and earlier: tribe_events_single_event_meta, Tribe__Events__View_Helpers::[getMonthOptions, getDayOptions, getYearOptions], Tribe__Events__Query::posts_groupby, Tribe__Events__Main::[getRealStartDate, weekToDate, previousWeek]”

What am I supposed to change Tribe__Events__Query with in the following function snippet I got from Geof? (See tickets https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/all-instances-of-recurring-events-are-showing-on-the-home-page-above-recent-news/ and

Posts are getting posted in the wrong order.

Here is the function:

<?php 
//
// *************************************
// Events Calendar fix
// Sort Events posts by creation / published date rather than start date
// from Geoff's second code in ticket at
// https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/posts-are-getting-posted-in-the-wrong-order/
// NOTE: The "Recurring events instances" setting must be unchecked in the settings for this to work. Otherwise,
// the two top functions just reorders future events at the top--with all the recent news posts below the future 
// events.
// Not sure if the third function is really needed now because when the "Recurring events instances" was checked 
// on, that code just gave a list of all post categories starting with April 2007. When the box is unchecked, I get
// what I want--all posts ordered by the date published--intermixing event posts with news posts.
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
//

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tribe_post_date_ordering', 51 );

function tribe_post_date_ordering( $query ) {
if ( $query->tribe_is_multi_posttype) {
remove_filter( 'posts_fields', array( 'Tribe__Events__Query', 'multi_type_posts_fields' ) ); $query->set( 'order', 'DESC' );
}
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_teardown_tribe_order_filter', 60 );

function custom_teardown_tribe_order_filter() {
if ( is_feed() ) remove_filter( 'posts_orderby', array( 'Tribe__Events__Query', 'posts_orderby' ), 10, 2 );
}

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'order_by_modified' );

function order_by_modified( $query ) {
         
  if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
                         
   $query->set( 'orderby', 'modified' );
  }
}
?>

Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for reaching out to us! I’ve tried the above code locally with 4.0 versions of the plugins and I’m not seeing any notice or errors. I guess the specific method removed are not in use in the snippet (as far as I can see).

Best method to test this is to update the plugins in a staging site with the same (or similar) content and configuration as the live site. In this case I think the code is safe for update.

Please let me know if you have the chance to test it with the updated versions of the plugins,
Best,
Nico
