Way to set “today” for saved filters

    I am using Advanced Post Manager with the Events Calendar, and in general it works wonderfully. However, I can’t seem to find a way to set a filter to show a list of events from today onward. For example, I would like:

    Filter: Start Date > On or After > Today

    As it is now, I have to manually set and update the date to keep old events from populating. Every day. For every filter. Which is a lot, if you use filters as much as I do.

    Is there a way to set and forget this, so it only shows events that are generally relevant?

    Thanks!

    Hi @paintandpour,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to set Start Date filter to a dynamic value, like Today, with default functionality of the plugin.

    One workaround in this regard would be to filter out past events from admin views using pre_get_posts hook. For example, something like this should work,

    function tec_admin_events_start_date_now_onwards( $query ) {
	
	if ( is_admin() && in_array ( $query->get('post_type'), array('tribe_events') ) ) {
		$now = date("Y-m-d H:i", strtotime('now'));
        $query->set( 'meta_query', array(
            array(
                'key' => '_EventStartDate',
                'compare' => '>=',
                'value' => $now,
                'type' => 'DATE'
            )
        ));
	}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tec_admin_events_start_date_now_onwards' );

    Try adding this snippet in functions.php file of your theme and see if this helps.

    Kind regards,
    Masood
