Past Event shows up in Widget

{is_future}
<table><tr>
 <td width="35">#_EVENTICALLINK</td>
     <td width="120"> #_EVENTDATES<br/>
                #_EVENTTIMES</td>
      <td width="340"> #_EVENTLINK</td>
      <td width="100">#_EVENTIMAGE{100,90}</td>
    </tr>
</table>
{/is_future}

This code works for me. event-manager/settings/formatting

Thanks, knja. Two questions:

[1] In which box on the Settings->Formatting page are you placing this code?

[2] When you say “This code works for me.” – do you mean you had a similar issue and this code fixed it for you?

Thanks!

ok:)

1. Events/Display of an event in a list
2. I have created several events (different date). But you always see all events (past and future) in front end. And with conditional placeholders, you can control everything well.
3. https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/conditional-placeholders/

You’re welcome!

OK, I will try that.

But I’m asking how is “future” defined? And where do I alter it? It seems to be defined based strictly on today’s date, not today’s data and time. Are you saying that using the conditional placeholder {is_future} takes into account the time of an event as well as the date, so that an event whose time is in the past but whose date is today will not show up?

yes, is will not show up.

OK, this is kind of bizarre. knja, your code did not work where I placed it. HOWEVER, it did help me try something else. Within the Upcoming Events widget, under List Item Format, I changed:

#_EVENTLINK (#M #j)

to:

{is_future}#_EVENTLINK (#M #j){/is_future}

This did remove the event that took place this morning, so that was good. However, the widget also has a setting for Number of events. It was set at 8. When I added {is_future}…{/is_future}, the widget only displayed 7 events. When I changed it to show 9, then 8 events showed up.

So, is “future” defined in two different ways? You can choose “Future Events” under Scope within the widget, but it will show an event from today that already happened. Or, you can add the {is_future} conditional placeholder to remove the event (that shouldn’t display in the first place, in my opinion), but it won’t display the number of events you indicated. It’s like the query returns the indicated number of events, but then {is_future} removes any events that aren’t truly in the future based on time. I tested this by adding another event for today (noon), and indicated 8 events to show, but only 6 show up in the widget. Hmmm…

{is_future} is already implemented in the widget. And you do not have to write again(Maybe a wrong event number will display).

I have no problems with this widget. I have two different time event today (21:00 and 22:00). And I choose “Future events” in settings. And at 21:01 I see only second event (22:00).

But I had problem with Events Page. Therefore I have used conditional placeholder.

Another question. Your events are not “all day”? Your event must have start and end time.
I’m sorry for my bad english.

knja, no need to apologize for your english. It is very good. I understand you just fine. =)

Yes, my events all have Start and End dates. None of my events are all day.

Future events have always displayed this way in the widget for me, which is why I’ve been trying to find a solution. It works for me now, just not in the way I would expect.

Thank you! Maybe you should watch something in source code.
For example, i find condition in /em-event.php Line 1206-1210:

//if event is past
						$show_condition = $this->start <= current_time('timestamp');
					}elseif ($condition == 'is_future'){
						//if event is upcoming
						$show_condition = $this->start > current_time('timestamp');

And current_time() function will generate by your server.
