Past Tribe Events Do Not Show Up In Posts2Posts

Came here searching for answers to the same problem, but frankly I think we’re barking up the wrong tree here. I very much doubt that the issue is with the P2P Plugin, but my doubts are on the The Events Calendar Plugin rather.

Hey xhezairi, I totally agree. That’s why I posted it in both forums – to no avail so far.
But, if anyone is interrested, I did some thinking and found a way to tighten my setup. I removed both “posts2posts” and “The Events Calendar” (which are both really good plugins, no doubt about that!) completely from my project. I wrote my own “Events” custom post type, and rely on ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) for event specific functionality and relations. At least for my purpose this works out well (better than before) plus my plugin repository is much smaller. As for displaying upcoming and past events as needed (meaning e.g. separately in places, specific sorting, etc.) I found a great (commercial) plugin I can recommend, since it supports per grid/list templating and thus custom querying (Search & Filter Pro, 20 USD for single site license). For the templating part you need some basic php though.

Hey fl0r1, I’ve actually managed to get past this glitch.
Since I had a relationship case Page <=> Events, an ACF filter to alter the Tribe Events eventDisplay property came to rescue.
Here’s the exact snippet.

add_filter('acf/fields/relationship/query', ax_show_past_events_relationship', 10, 3);
function ax_show_past_events_relationship( $args, $field, $post_id )
{
    // set Tribe Events eventDisplay to 'custom' to display past events.
    $args['eventDisplay'] = 'custom';

    return $args;
}

Awesome, xhezairi!
I am past this, but I reckon there will be people out there needing this at some point. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Hello and welcome to the forums,

As much as we’d love to provide compatibility for every theme and plugin out there, it’s essentially impossible. We test our plugins against the latest version of WP and the default WP theme. We are always happy to test for bugs and provide outside assistance when we have the resources, but ultimately it’s up to the developer/site owner to get everything to play nicely.

Regardless, I’m glad you’ve come up with a solution and feel free to reach out any time a new question or concern comes up. As previously mentioned, we love going above and beyond to exceed our customer’s expectations. Have a great week ??
