[Plugin: Event Organiser] Displaying past events WITH pagination using WP_Query

    I know website users could find past events using the Calendar View, but I’d also like a menu item/page(s) that displays past events, with 5 past events listed per page.

    I have a page template for this modeled after archive-event.php, and I’ve added the following code to generate this list. It’s currently showing the 5 most recent past events, but there is no pagination. Any idea what I need to do for pagination to work?

    <?php
global $wp_query;
if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
	<nav id="nav-above">
		<div class="nav-next events-nav-newer fr"><?php next_posts_link( __( 'Next events <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>' , 'eventorganiser' ) ); ?></div>
		<div class="nav-previous events-nav-newer fl"><?php previous_posts_link( __( ' <span class="meta-nav">&laquo;</span> Previous events', 'eventorganiser' ) ); ?></div>
	</nav><!-- #nav-above -->
<?php endif; ?>

<?php $events = new WP_Query(array(
				'post_type'=>'event',
				'posts_per_page'=>5,
				'event_end_before'=>'now',
				'showpastevents'=>true,
				'orderby'=>'eventstart',
				'order'=>'DESC'
				)); ?>

<?php if ($events->have_posts()) : while ($events->have_posts()) : $events->the_post(); ?>

<!-- Post Starts -->
	<!-- post meta, content, readmore, etc. -->
<!-- /.post -->

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
	<div <?php post_class(); ?>>
		<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'woothemes') ?></p>
	</div><!-- /.post -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

<?php
if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
	<nav id="nav-below">
		<div class="nav-next events-nav-newer fr"><?php next_posts_link( __( 'Next events <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>' , 'eventorganiser' ) ); ?></div>
		<div class="nav-previous events-nav-newer fl"><?php previous_posts_link( __( ' <span class="meta-nav">&laquo;</span> Previous events', 'eventorganiser' ) ); ?></div>
	</nav><!-- #nav-below -->
<?php endif; ?>

    Thanks!
    John

  • Hi John Sundberg,

    Sorry, I seem to have missed this thread. Your not passing the WP_Query paged attribute which means only the first 5 events are served.

    Even then, by declaring a new WP_Query() instance you might experience odd behaviour. To alter the number of events per post its best to use the pre_get_post filter;

    (untested, but should work)

    add_action('pre_get_post','my_alter_events_per_page',20);
     function my_alter_events_per_page( $query ){

          if( $query->is_main_query() && $query->get('post_type') == 'event' ){
              $query->set('post_per_page',5);
        }
     }
