How to hide past events in calendar

I saw how do it in the events list with the Event Attributes scope=future but not in the small calendar ? Can you point me in the right direction.

Thanks

this is not possible by default, you’d need to override our template and code that in

templates/templates/calendar-small.php

https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

Thanks for your answer.
I want to override the em-calendar.php, and do something like you suggest in a previous post :

if( $EM_Event->start > current_time() ){
//show your booking here, otherwise it'll skip it.
}

But where to do it and with wich syntax ?

Thanks

i think you may need to hire a developer to help you with this. try https://jobs.wordpress.net

Ok I will continue to search myself !

by default the widget calendar td class just contains “eventfull” or “eventless” class. But you can add “past” class to give them a disabled style. To do this, duplicate “calendar-small.php” file to your_theme_folder/plugins/event-manager/
Then around line 37 replace the following code:
<td class="<?php echo $class; ?>">
with:
<td class="<?php echo $class; ?><?php if ($cell_data['date'] <= time()) { echo " past"; } ?>">

now you can access this cell with css and give it a grey color, for example. removing the links inside the cell is a bad idea because google crawled them and then would redirect to a 404 page instead.

Hi Nicmare – great solution – did you get this working, we have added the code to the site but it doesnt seem to create the class to target with the css.

our amended code is…

<td class="<?php echo $class; ?><?php if ($cell_data['date'] <= time()) { echo " past"; } ?>">
					<?php if( !empty($cell_data['events']) && count($cell_data['events']) > 0 ): ?>
					<a>" title="<?php echo esc_attr($cell_data['link_title']); ?>"><?php echo date('j',$cell_data['date']); ?></a>
					<?php else:?>
					<?php echo date('j',$cell_data['date']); ?>
					<?php endif; ?>
				</td>

Have we missed anything here?

just follow my instructions. and check out this screenshot of my code: https://adrop.in/LLj

Brilliant thanks for the swift reply and the screenshot, have you got a snippet of your css we can compare too?

use firebug to inspect the mini calendar on left hand side: https://www.diva-schiff.de/
there you see a lot of “past” events

Thanks so much – now working great- for some reason the php file for the calendar I’ve put in a templates folder in my child theme wasn’t overriding the original plugin templates but tested by applying to the originals and now working great

Thanks for all your help

glad it’s working now.

Thanks for that!
