Hi<\/p>\n

We are using this plugin on the https:\/\/ahti.nl\/events-2\/<\/a> using the shortcode [tribe_events view="photo" tribe-bar="false" date="2017-01"]<\/code><\/p>\n

However, we want to have the Upcoming Events in a block at the top of the page and the Past Events in a block at the bottom of the page.
\nIf we remove the date specifier in the shortcode we end up with a link to past events, but we want the to display on the page.<\/p>\n

As we are using a page builder for this page, Beaver Builder, I decided to write a custom extension to directly access the Posts table using WP_Query<\/code> to create this functionality. However, the Events Calendar plugin hijacks\/extends the parse_query()<\/code> function for ALL query requests related the tribe_events<\/code> post_type and adds a WHERE<\/code> clause that prevents the query from retrieving any events in the past. Looking at the code, it expects a querystring parameter to be present before it will load past events.<\/p>\n

Is there a way to negate or prevent the parse_query()<\/code> from being executed so that I can build a custom query to retrieve the tribe_events<\/code> post_type without any interference from the plugin?
\nOr is there a way to provide an additional parameter in the $query<\/code> associative array object that is used to initialise WP_Query<\/code> that will allow the loading of past events without the need of a query string parameter?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1315758","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nShowing all past events -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/showing-all-past-events\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Showing all past events -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi We are using this plugin on the https:\/\/ahti.nl\/events-2\/ using the shortcode [tribe_events view="photo" tribe-bar="false" date="2017-01"] However, we want to have the Upcoming Events in a block at the top of the page and the Past Events in a block at the bottom of the page.
