Past events not displaying

    So, I’ve created an Upcoming page, where I want to show a list of all upcoming events that I have scheduled. At the bottom of the page, however, I would like to show a list of events that my rabid fans have missed. Here’s the page in question: https://www.daidreetofano.com/upcoming/

    As you can see, the recent events comes up with nothing, event though I’ve populated my events list with past events.

    The short code that I inserted into the page is as follows:

    [event-list num_events=10 date_filter=past show_filterbar=false]

    Did I do something wrong here?

    Also, is there a way to change the background color of the calendar image? I can’t seem to find the trick using my Theme’s color scheme.

    The standard value of “initial_date” is “upcoming”. If you set the “date_filter” to “past” and the initial_date is upcoming no event will be displayed. So you have to add “initial_date” in your shortcode and set it to “all” or “past”:
    [event-list date_filter=past initial_date=all show_filterbar=false]

    Additionally the “num_event” attribute is only available if upcoming events is selected. There is no sorting or pagination available yet. If num_events would be used for past events the you would only see the 10 oldest events, which is not your intention. After adding sorting feature (hopefully soon) I can enable num_event attribute for other date ranges also.

    Hey, perfect, thanks!!

    I can just manually delete events that I don’t want to show in the past events section as a workaround. No problem ??

    Just wanted 2015 to show – as well as upcoming – used this which is working and not showing far past events – but wondered if the past events can be shown in reverse order with the most recent first.

    [event-list]

    [event-list date_filter=past initial_date=2015 show_filterbar=true]

    Thank you!!
    Great plugin

    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is a way to make this possible when I implemented my event-list as a widget in a sidebar in the code?

    Like so:

    <?php
	if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar') || !dynamic_sidebar('Homepage-Events') ): ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    And how? ??

    Thanks

    @scoophk:
    Change the sorting isn’t possible in the actual version but planned in the next version.
    If you want to show events from beginning of 2015 to all upcoming events in the future you can use the attribute:
    date_filter="2015~2999"
    You can give a start date and an end date separated by a “~”

    A more generic version would be:
    date_filter="this_year~2999"

    You can also do something like:
    date_filter="-3_months~+1_year"

    Find more information about the available date formats in the event-list about page.

    @loon123:
    The widget is called “Upcoming Events” so there is no option to change this behavior (yet).
