• Hey! So I’m trying to adapt an event list template from ‘Clubber’ WordPress theme to ‘Applause’. It is an event list that uses the time and date of each event to sort into ‘UPCOMING EVENTS’ and ‘PAST EVENTS’. This is what I have so far:

    https://www.mybeatfix-new.com/event-list-2/

    The custom post types don’t seem to be registering and displaying. It’s obviously thinking there are “no events coming up”. Check out my code below. Remember I’ve adapted the code from another theme and stuck it onto this one. Is there anything clearly (or not so clearly) wrong in my code below?

    THIS IS THE CODE FOR THE EVENTS LIST TEMPLATE PAGE:

    <?php
    /*
    Template Name: Event LIst
    */
    ?>
    
    <?php
    global $bub_mt;
    get_header('mt');
    ?>
    
    <div class="fixed">
      <div class="col-blog-archive">
        <div class="event-upcoming"><h3>Upcoming Events</h3></div>
    <?php
    // Build a custom query to get posts from future dates.
    $term     = get_term_by('slug', get_query_var('term'), get_query_var('taxonomy'));
    $query    = array(
        'post_type' => 'events',
        'orderby' => 'meta_value',
    	'order' => 'asc',
    	'posts_per_page' => 10,
    	'meta_value' => strftime("%Y/%m/%d", time()- (60 * 60 * 24) ),
    	'meta_key' => 'event_date_interval',
    	'meta_compare' => '>',
        'taxonomy' => 'events',

    Am I missing anything?
