Thanks for that, is there a way to limit the amount of listed events? I read over that shortcodes page and did not see anything.
Geoff, if I was to add a feed to the home page that was only the events, how can I make it look like it does when its in my news feed loop? I have created a secondary widget area below the news feed (blog loop). you can see it at this link, Ive dropped a regular calendar widget in there.
Id like it to show the most current listings, just like on the events main category page

without the search function of course, just the list.
I tried to go thru the themers guide and custom stuff in your support content but couldn’t find any actual code or a shortcode that does what I need. This is going to have to be my compromise between what I need, what the plugin can do and what my client is willing to settle with.

Even when I disable the discounts, I have to go back and re-edit every product because the discount sticks. ugg.
Any updates on this? I have 2 sites that offer a % discount to memberships and neither work. Needless to say I’ve taken a lot of flak from the site owners because of this and have patiently waited for a resolution that never comes.
Having said that I hope I dont have to pay for a renewal since most of my time has been sitting around waiting.
In the meantime, is there ANY way I can get it to work on a % and not on the $ discount? Honestly, Im ready to just dump it all and find something else. this has been a very frustrating several months.
ok after unchecking the “Include events in main blog loop” in the dashboard, your code changed the order of the events on the homepage but since it’s by creation date, it still doesnt make things helpful.
Perhaps if Modern Tribe figured out a way to tell the WP loop that the event date is the “creation date” it should be looking at, then it can fool it into displaying it the way people expect it to be displayed? I dont see any other way to pull it off.
This code doesn’t really seem to change anything that I can tell. I tried looking at the page twice with it and without it. If events can’t be injected into the main blog loop showing next event in time as the first event on page 1, while showing blog loops by creation date then to me, the option in the dashboard settings to add the events to the loop is worthless. I am either going to have to show the latest news feed on the homepage or I am going to have to show the events but its painfully obvious that I am unable to do both.
I don’t believe there is anyone out there in cyberspace that sees the option to check mark “Include events in main blog loop” and thinks “Ohhh I hope this displays them backward so the event next year shows up first!”. lol. It doesn’t make any sense to me that this option even exists.
I am giving up on hoping this idea is even possible, which sucks because, after much research, this is the reason I purchased the Modern Tribe plugins and how I sold my client on the idea that this is how their new website is going to function.
This is just getting aggravatingly stupid now. I am designing the site and I am passing it over to a client. I am NOT able to manually reset each and every event that is created because 1. there is a LOT of events and 2. I am not managing the site once its done. 3. a client not familiar with the problem will look at me like an idiot if I tried to explain that to them.
Also, you may have a LOT of users but clearly there are a TON of people asking this very question all over the web, many without answer and others who tell you to flip everything which doesn’t work. There is no normal reason where people want to inject the events into the main loop and see the very last event first, it’s ridiculous to imply there are thousands of people who probably enjoy it that way.
There are 3 people on the free version WP thread alone that dont understand your comments. There is also several threads in this forum asking the same thing with no responses. Its like you guys just dont care about this issue and ignore it. Seeing that you couldnt even grasp what I was saying till I spelled it out for you means you guys dont even understand the basics of why events would go in the main loop to begin with.
to me, this problem is common sense, to you, it seems like a silly, opinionated wish list type thing. If you are going to offer an option to inject events into the loop IT SHOULD WORK LIKE THE LOOP!!!! It *IS* a bug, or its stupid programming with little thought. If you can’t add events to the main loop to display with the next coming event showing up on the homepage, then why would you even add the option? Its like putting a car door where the is no seat, and you asking me, but why not just sit on the floor of the car? cant your client just put a folding chair in there everytime they want to go for a ride?
I guess we are at an impasse and your humor isn’t funny any longer. Im sick of going circles on this. I’ll close this thread, explain to everyone else you don’t really give a shit and request a refund and use the free version or find something else.
Manually setting each event isn’t at all a reasonable answer unfortunately, especially if I hand this site off to my clients and try to explain to them how to manage that each time they create an event.
So I am still so utterly confused why this is an issue. When you design the option to put the events into the blog loop, how can it not be common sense that they should appear in the feed with the next event shown first? Who and for what reason would anyone want to put the event listings into their home page loop showing the last event sometime next year in between today’s blog posts? It just doesn’t make any sense to me at all that this was how it was made and that everyone at Modern Tribe considered this to be perfectly fine… and that no one at all said “don’t you think that they should be shown the other way around?”. It leaves me really really confused about why you even added the option in the first place
So you are telling me there is no other options and that Modern Tribe has no interest or intention on fixing or changing this?
no this isnt the same problem as my issue, I dont want everything reversed, I want the blog posts to show as they normally do, by creation date, and I want the events that are added to show up in the loop with the event closest to the day the viewer is looking at them first and they get further away as you scroll thru the pages.
So if I am on the home page, and today is November 30th, the news feed will show as such:
Blog from yesterday Nov. 29th
NEXT EVENT DEC 2ND
NEXT EVENT DECEMBER 8TH
blog from last week
NEXT EVENT DECEMBER 15TH
etc…Im still confused as to why this isn’t default, and why anyone would want it displayed differently… or is that how it is supposed to show and mine is the one needing fixed somehow?
I originally thought it was showing them by creation date, as with the blog posts, but on further testing it just looks like its displaying events reversed from what I need.
hooray! Im not completely crazy lol. So I have a launch date of Dec. 11th. What’s the chances of a fix before then?
Perhaps I am putting too much info into my request. Currently, my problem is that the events are showing up in a backward chronological order. Furthest date from today at the top, closest date to today at the far end of the loop.
