events manager – no results found for some events

[Denis]

Hi,

We have two searches on two pages, one for locations and one for the events.. the locations search input works well..

but the search input on the events page doesnt find all events..

when you search for “Johanniter Erste-Hilfe-Outdoor-Kurs-Basic 8 UE” or only “Johanniter”.. no results are found.. searching for “Natur-Meditationslehrer*in” or part of the title.. it finds the right events..

can you help us with this?
We have just default settings..
thanks

Hi,

Sure!

I quickly logged in to check the settings, and I found that the category filter default was set to the first element instead of the “Choose one” option, so all results were basically filtered to the “Ausbildung” category.
I turned this option on, now it should be okay.

perfect, it works.. thanks!

You cannot access this content.

only one question, is it possible to show the event date in the results? cant find a option to do so..

[Ernest Marcinko]

Sure!

You can use the advanced title/content fields for that. There is a date format argument available as well.

For the events manager use the _event_start_date and/or the _event_end_date pseudo variables. For example, using this in the advanced description field will display the event start date like “Starts: 2024 Nov, 01, Fr”:

Starts: {_event_start_date date_format="Y M, d, D"}
