Thanks for looking into this for me. Here is the code i ended up with and with this code nothing get pulled in at all. Do you think this is something wrong with how I integrated your code in with mine?

		<div class="small-12 medium-6 large-4 columns">
			<?php $args = array(
			'eventDisplay'   => 'custom',
			'posts_per_page' => 1,
			'meta_query'     => array(
				'relation'   => 'AND',
				'featured'   => array(
					'key'     => Tribe__Events__Featured_Events::FEATURED_EVENT_KEY,
					'compare' => 'EXISTS',
				),
				'start_date' => array(
					'key'     => '_EventStartDate',
					'value'   => current_time( 'mysql' ),
					'compare' => '>=',
					'type'    => 'DATETIME',
				),
			),
			'orderby'        => array(
				'start_date' => 'ASC',
			),
		);
				foreach ( $events as $event ) {
					$terms = get_the_terms( $event->ID, 'tribe_events_cat' ); ?>
						<p class="home-cat"><?php foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } ?></p>
						<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">
							<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event->ID, 'home-blog', true ); ?>
						</a>
						<div class="home-news-content clearfix" data-equalizer-watch>
							<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">
							<h2><?php echo $event->post_title; ?></h2></a>
							<p><?php echo $event->post_excerpt; ?></p>
							<a class="home-read-more" href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">Read More</a>
						</div>
			<?php } ?>
		</div>

			<?php $events = tribe_get_events( array( 'posts_per_page' => 1, 'orderby' => 'meta_value', 'order' => 'DESC' , 'key' => 'Tribe__Events__Featured_Events::FEATURED_EVENT_KEY' , 'compare' => 'EXISTS', ) );

						<p class="home-cat"><?php foreach ( $terms as $term ) { echo $term->name; } ?></p>
						<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">
							<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event->ID, 'home-blog', true ); ?>
						</a>
						<div class="home-news-content clearfix" data-equalizer-watch>
							<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">
							<h2><?php echo $event->post_title; ?></h2></a>
							<p><?php echo $event->post_excerpt; ?></p>
							<a class="home-read-more" href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link( $event->ID ) ?>">Read More</a>
						</div>
					<?php wp_reset_postdata();
				} ?>

Hi,

So your highlighted part is talking about just the featured image. I already have that pulling in. Im just trying to get the “featured event” to pull in.

Thanks

Im still a little confused. I have the image pulling in already. Would I have to use this part in my query?`

`

// is a Featured Event (requires The Events Calendar version 4.4+ from January 9, 2017)
if ( class_exists( ‘Tribe__Events__Main’ )
&& class_exists( ‘Tribe__Events__Featured_Events’ )
&& Tribe__Events__Main::POSTTYPE === $query[‘post_type’]
) {
$meta_query[] = array(
‘key’ => Tribe__Events__Featured_Events::FEATURED_EVENT_KEY,
‘compare’ => ‘EXISTS’,
);
}
`

Hi,

So im still a little confused. Im still somewhat new with PHP and that seems like a really complex query just to pull in the featured event.

There is no way just to add it to my $events array to pull it in? I would rather not pull this in with a shortcode from my function. I would just like to have everything right in my original query.

[Kari Acker]

This worked perfect,

Thanks for the help.

[Kari Acker]

This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank You.
