• Hi, I love this plugin but have one issue. Today is Wednesday and if I make an event for Thursday, I expect the event to be visible in the event list until the start of the event on Thursday but instead it disappears from the event list on Wednesday. I can see if in the admin pages but it’s not showing up in the widget on the right side of the screen. I verified my timezone is set to Chicago and I have the window set to 60 days. Is this a bug or expected behavior?
    Thanks,
    Dan

  • I’m having the same issue. My event shows up until the time that it starts (for example Wednesday at 4:30pm), but disappears right after that. I really need the event to show up until it’s over.

    Thanks,
    Kathy

    ps. also love the plugin!

    I’d be ok if worked like that but my events are disappearing the day before the event.

    Dan, your events for Thursday should still be shown in the Upcoming List on Wednesday. Is that the situation you say is not working? The Upcoming List starts looking for events on the next day after today. The Today’s List will query events for the current day. Do you have a page showing the full calendar so I can see what is missing?

    Katherine, I don’t see you using my Spiffy Calendar plugin on your website anywhere.

    I just re-read your first post – is the issue the events aren’t shown on the current day if there is a start time in the future? That isn’t how it works now, but it would probably make a bit more sense.

    Thanks for the quick response!

    Yes, I would expect events to show up on the list until the time they start (or end) has passed.

    I see there are different widgets that can be used. I was using the “Upcoming Events” widget and it seems to display events that start after today. There is another widget called “Today’s Events” so I could use them both but they are formatted differently so it doesn’t look right. For now I am using the “Upcoming Events” widget at the top of my right column. At the bottom I am testing the short code to display spiffy-todays-list and spiffy-upcoming-list using the following html. I had to add some padding to get the two widgets to line up.

    <div style=”padding:0 0 0 3em;”>
    [spiffy-todays-list show_date=true]
    </div>
    <div>
    [spiffy-upcoming-list show_date=true]
    </div>

    I created two events: “Test Event 6/6” and “Test Event 6/7”

    “Test Event 6/6” is showing up in the spiffy-todays-list widget but it says June 7, 2018 and the bullet icon is different.

    Here’s my whole calendar: https://ecfitnesscenter.com/spiffytest/

    I think the “Upcoming Events” widget should include all future events (including today) and once the start time has passed, they don’t appear any more.

    Do any of the widgets use the current time or just the current date?

    The widgets don’t use time at all, just date.

    I could add an option to the Upcoming List to display today as well. In the meantime if you add the Today’s List widget above the Upcoming Events I can help you format the list to look combined.

    I would like this option very much.
