Showing Past Events In a Nice Way

    Hey there,

    I was wondering if there’s a nice way to show past events.
    Currently all I could find is an option that shows all events (past, present and future) but there’s no option to change the way they’re listed.

    I mean something like this: (My example date is 29th of March)

    Upcoming Events:
    Event #1: April 1st
    Event #2: April 3rd
    Event #3: April 9th

    Past Events:
    Event #4: March 5th
    Event #5: March 2nd
    Event #6: March 1st

    It would also be great if I could create a sub-page in the menu that would show past events. Like that I can show upcoming events just like the normal way. And show the past events on an other page.
    However I’m not sure if this is possible?

    Could anyone give me some information here? Since I’m not a great coder, just struggling through WordPress a bit.

    Thanks in advance,

    Just to clarify. The example I gave was the thing I’d like to have.
    Right now it looks like this:

    Events:
    March 1st
    March 2nd
    March 5th
    April 1st
    April 3rd
    April 9th

    This is not good, since I don’t want 3 ‘old’ events to show up before those that matter most show up. (I used today’s date, 29th of march for this example).

    you can used shortcode [events_list] for this and then add search attributes like orderby and order

    e.g.
    [events_list scope=”past” order=”DESC” orderby=”event_start_date,event_name”]

    Hi angelonwl.

    I want to show an image over my events thumbnails that say “finished” when there are in the past.

    What can I call in an if function as “true” to decide whether to show a container or not.

    e.g <?php if( past attribute, true) ?>

    you could try conditional placeholders

    or alternatively something like

    $EM_Event->start > time()
