Widget shortcode shows past event

    I don’t know if this is related to my thread from Friday (“Past Event shows up in Widget”), but I think it might be. I tried a different method, by inserting shortcodes into a regular text widget, like this:

    [events_list_grouped limit="8" mode="daily" pagination="0"] #_EVENTLINK <br />[/events_list_grouped]

    It nicely groups the next eight events by day, so that is good. BUT the first event it shows happened this morning. If I add scope=”future” it does not change anything. What am I missing?

  • hi,

    have you tried Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Are current events past events? also, are those past events ends yesterday or today/current date?

    Hi agelonwl – thank you for your reply.

    Yes, I verified that current events are past events.

    The past events that are showing up ended on the current date. So, for example, there is an event scheduled for today at 10:00am. It is now almost 11:00am, but the event still displays. I would expect it to not show up since the start time is in the past. But, it seems to be based on the date not the time.

    I see, you can create new event scope that could filter start date and start time – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/create-your-own-event-scope/

    e.g. https://pastebin.com/2DPCyDEF

    paste this on your theme functions.php and then choose ‘Modified Future’ in your events widget scope

    Wow. That was the exact link I needed to read. Thank you for providing it. =)

    And if that wasn’t enough, to write up the modified code for me. What a way to start the day. Thank you!! It works perfectly.

    And, I figured out that if I want to use the [events_list_grouped] shortcode in a text widget, to add:

    scope="future-mod"

    Conceptually, I would have figured that “future” took into account the time of an event and not just the date. It’s still a fantastic plugin, now made better with your help. Thanks again!
