Posts2Posts can't find past "tribe_events" (The Events Calendar)

Hello fIOri

I don’t have a clue for your request but it seem’s that you manage to register a connection type. How did you do that? Because on my side when a copy and paste:

<?php
function my_connection_types() {
p2p_register_connection_type( array(
‘name’ => ‘posts_to_pages’,
‘from’ => ‘post’,
‘to’ => ‘page’
) );
}
add_action( ‘p2p_init’, ‘my_connection_types’ );
?>

On my functions.php file. It makes my site go down. I get a white page.

Could you give me a tip?

Hey maldorox,
That’s hard to say from a distance. Might has something to do with your theme or other plugins you use. The above code so far looks all right to me. And I can assure you I user posts2posts in a lot of projects and it always worked without any hassle. So you might want to temporarily switch to a standard theme and/or switch off all other plugins for a start. See if that fixes the issue.

As for the actual topic of this thread:
If anyone is interrested, I did some thinking and found a way to tighten my setup. I removed both plugins, “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.
