Set expiry date by default

    As other have said — it is really frustrating that the past events show in the event listings. If I hadn’t already customized the plugin, I would uninstall and use a different plugin. But I’d like to try to make this work.

    Since you are committed to keeping the manual expiry date, can you at least make the field automatically populate with the end date of the event? The user will still have the ability to change it, but it would save a step when creating events.

    Or, can you add an attribute to the [events] shortcode to allow only future events?

    It’s just not a good user experience to require manual expiration dates because the main reason to use an event plugin is to automatically handle that for you.

    Really hope you will consider something to fix this. So many posts about this issue suggest that it is something most users want.

    Thank you.

  • Hi

    I Understand your concern, however, just like you add the event end dates, similarly the expiry dates are needed. We have provided the provision that when you submit the event from the front end, The end dates are changed to expiry dates, as per the settings. So you can choose to submit the events from the front end.
    For the Backend, it’s needed that you add the expiry date from the Admin panel.

    We had already submitted this query for improvisation, but the team said it had some limitations, however in the future, we will try that this can be automated.

    For Now, You can add the expiry dates to your events, and in Settings hide the expired events from the listing page.
