Skipping current events but only from day 2

Hello,

Could We perhaps know what you mean on Skip the events?

For multi-day events I think the interpretation depends on you. Since the Event Date and Start time are different fields. You could interpret it on how you like it.

ie: If you have a 3 days event. June 1 to June 3 and the time are 8am to 5pm. It depends on you if it’s 8am to 5pm only on each day. or it’s 8am June 1 to 5pm June 3. Overall I think it would be the same.

Well, in the first paragraph I wrote

Is it possible to skip showing current events in the [events_list] but only from day 2?

which I hoped will be clear enough. ??

There is this config setting that allows current events to be treated as past events for the sake of the upcoming events list. This works great with some of our events – 2 week long ones which require pre-registration and no on is going to get there once they started (so, there is no point in showing them on the list).

However, now we have an event which lasts for a week, but in fact, each evening is separate and can be joined at any moment. We want to show it on the upcoming list the entire time.

Those two are disjointed. I cannot have both behaviors.

I tried cyclic events. however, the result was that I got “spammed” with 7 subsequent events on the list which is not acceptable either. (I have touched this topic in thread How to limit number of recurring event instances on the list.)

For now, we have worked around it by disabling the setting which treats ongoing events as past events. At the moment we don’t have those 2-week long ones so there is no issue. But the problem might return at some point and as for now I have no idea how to solve it otherwise than day by day modify the event changing the start date so that it keeps showing. But it feels wrong, might be misleading and requires manual work.

Hello,

If you want to show specific range of Event Scopes, You would need to manually create a code for it. Here’s a tutorial on how to create custom event scopes: https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/

The closes We have for what you’re referring is the “Are current Events past event?” which is located under Events > Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives
