Show only Future Events

[HeinrichMarketing]

Hello Team,

first of all: you are by far the best, most flexible and well thought-out plugin ever!

The following question has already come up several times here.

Unfortunately, I can’t automatically delete the old events in the event plugin, but they should be able to be hidden in the filter at https://cervantes.de/kurse-finden/. Unfortunately, I can’t get any further with the instructions from https://documentation.ajaxsearchpro.com/advanced-options/excluding-and-including-results/exclude-or-include-by-custom-field-values, as I don’t have any programming knowledge.

The event plugin is https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/getting-started-guide/. The field should be _event_start_date. But what should the code be called?

I would be very pleased to receive an answer!

Many thanks, Andreas

Hi!

Thank you for your kind words!

Surely it is possible, but you may need a few lines of code for it. I am not exactly sure about the plugin you are using for events, but I have constructed a custom code snippet, which should do exactly that if the date format is what I think it is. You will find it below.

Try adding this code via the Code Snippets plugin or to the functions.php file in your theme/child theme directory – make sure to have a full server back-up first for safety. For more details you can check the safe coding guidelines.

add_filter("asp_query_args", "asp_query_args_apply_date", 10, 2);
function asp_query_args_apply_date($args, $search_id) {
	$args['post_meta_filter'][] = array(
		'key'     => '_event_start_date',
		'value'   => date('Y-m-d'),
		'operator' => '>=',
		'allow_missing' => false
	);
	return $args;
}

Hi Ernest,

thank you for the code.. unfortunately it does not work… what am i doing wrong? I have put in the code in the functions.php… maybe it is the wrong selector? But how can i find out?

Thank you so much for your help!

Best, Andreas

It’s likely only the date format and the field. I checked to see and you seem to be using the Events Manager plugin, for that this should work:

add_filter("asp_query_args", "asp_query_args_apply_date", 10, 2);
function asp_query_args_apply_date($args, $search_id) {
	$args['post_meta_filter'][] = array(
		'key'     => '_event_start',
		'value'   => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
		'operator' => '>=',
		'allow_missing' => false
	);
	return $args;
}
