Is there a way to limit Events to only 2016?

  • I am trying to show only events from 2016 on the Events Page, while leaving the previous years’ events available in Archives.

    Under Pages > Event List/Archives > WordPress Event Archives I set Event archives scope to “Events within 6 months” but the Events pages still shows all events on the Events Page

    Under Pages > Event List/Archives > Default event list options
    if I change Event list scope to “Events within 6 months,” all but my future events disappear! Even if I change it to “Events within 12 months,” all but my future event disappear. The only way to have the old ones show up–and it’s three year’s worth of events–is to set that to “All Events.” Changing how many display on a page only makes multiple event pages.

    How can I only iterate out the events from 2016? Do I need to manually edit the PHP code in the plugin?

    another way is to create custom scope – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/

    Is there a reason for the fact that limiting the scope through pre-defined parameters such as “Events within 6 months” does NOT work in Event Manager? Some conflict with the latest version of WordPress, perhaps? Because when WordPress updated to 4.1, I think, all events but future ones disappeared.

    Also, this tutorial does not go over exactly where this code goes in. Usually I can edit php and css files directly through the WordPress dashboard, but somehow, in this install I inherited for a client site, it is set up with WooCommerce Canvas theme, and the “editor” is unavailable, but I could, of course, go through CPanel or possibly ftp and edit the files in PHP Storm.

    The code needs to in the functions.php file of your theme.

    I’m not aware of any fitlering problems. Are the other filters working?

    Settings > Formatting > the filter for formatting date ranges worked. That organized Events iterated by year, at least. But the client wanted only Events from 2016 to show up, and the filter under Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Event archives scope does NOT work.

    Either all events display, or only future events, depending on the Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Default event list options > Event list scope.

    I ended up doing an easy fix of just deleting all Events from Event Manager prior to 2016 manually. It would be nice to know how to save that data and not have it all display, however, in the future.

    And, to clarify, the filter Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Default event list options > Event list scope does not actually work properly, either:

    All Events — displays all events, regardless of scope above under Event archives scope
    Events within the last 6 months and within the 12 months display NO events except future events.

    I did not test all settings of the default scope filter.

    I think events within 6 months or 12 months means this month (what’s left of it), plus the following x months until the end of that month.

    If that is the case, if the filter named “Events within the LAST 6 months” displays the current month plus FUTURE months, then the filter is mis-named!

    Generally, when you say, such-in-such happened in the “last 6 months,” that usually refers to the past tense–as in, it is June 2016 now, so the “last 6 months” would encompass “Jan – June 2016” NOT “June – Dec 2016”!

    To clarify, angelo_nwl, “last” refers to the past, but “next” would refer to the future. So by your reasoning, the filter scope should actually say, “Events within the next 6 months” not “last 6 months.”
