Event list view is a bit strange. How can I fix this?

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

By default, the views shouldn’t show the older events. Try following our Testing for Conflicts procedures to ensure there isn’t a conflict here with another plugin or your existing theme.

Thanks!

Thank for your response.
I think there is a misunderstanding here: if I create an event that start on 03/01/1999 and ends on 05/07/2016, I see in event list page the follow list:

GENNAIO 1999
Event that is still ACTIVE

FEBBRAIO 2016
List of events

MARZO 2016
List of events

… and so on.
Perhaps (I’m not sure) the problem is in line 338 of file loop.php located in path /the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/

/*
* If the event month changed since the last event in the loop,
* or is the same month but the year changed.
*
*/
if ( $wp_query->current_post === 0 || ( $prev_event_month != $event_month || ( $prev_event_month == $event_month && $prev_event_year != $event_year ) ) ) { $html .

Why don’t you compare date in this IF clause with “current date”? If my event span several months, I don’t want to see even OLD months in my upcoming event list. Understand?

Thanks in advance
Paolo

If I understand correctly, you would prefer events that have already started to not show on the calendar? We do have a few threads relating to users looking for the same functionality. Here is a good one to get you started.

I hope this helps and have a good week. Cheers!

Thank you, joinfof.
As I told before, my goal is not to hide events that have already started.

My goal is this: for event that span several months, I don’t want to see even OLD MONTHS in my upcoming event list. I want to see an event that has already started, but with the correct date.

I’m reading threads you link me, hope to find something useful for me.
Cheers

Howdy paolo,

Thanks for making clear the distinction. Either way the linked thread is the best starting place i can think of. While it will hide all started events, with a little tweaking you could make it so that it only hides started events if they were starts over x days ago.

Thanks for getting back!

Thank you Brook,
I try to explain myself another time.
Many art exhibits runs for months, so imagine an exhibition start on 1st January 2016 and ends on 30th April 2016.

Today is 28 march 2016: so in event list page (www.eventiatmilano.it) I would see the following list for upcoming events

GENNAIO 2016
Exhibition that start on 1st January

FEBBRAIO 2016
Exhibition that start on 1st January

MARZO 2016
Exhibition that start on 1st January + other events

and so on.
I would like to see the CORRECT DATE for this exhibition in ‘Upcoming Events’. I think is not so useful to see the oldest start date of a currently running event. I think today, 28th march 2016 people really don’t want to see January in “upcoming events”.
Perhaps they want to see the below list:

MARZO 2016
Exhibition that start on 1st January + other events

APRILE 2016
…

and so on.
In other words, for an event that spans several months, I would like to show the events in the list and not hide them, but have the month reflect the current month instead of the month it started.
Understand, now?

Thank you for your support
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for clarifying on this issue. Unfortunately this is how the plugin displays these type of events (the ones that span across multiple months).

Creating a snippet for you to change this behaviour would be out of the support we can provide here. I’m sorry but we are not able to provide other resources like the one joinfof pointed out ??
