    Trying to get past events using WP_Query: 

    php
$query = new \WP_Query(
	[
		'post_type' => [ 'tribe_events' ],
		'no_found_rows' => true,
		'posts_per_page' => '11',
		'meta_query' => [
			[
				'key' => '_EventEndDate',
				'value' => '2020-12-02',
				'compare' => '<',
				'type' => 'DATE',
			],
		],
	]
);

    returns empty.

    But if I pass post_type => 'tribe_events (i.e. as a string instead of an array), it works fine.

    You can see the vardump of both functions on a temporary spinup at https://accused-jaguar.jurassic.ninja/

    Hi @justlevine,

    After a lot of trying and playing around with filters for the usual WP_Query our development team decided to try to create a wrapper for fetching events easier for people.

    
$args = [
	'ends_after'            => 'now',
	'posts_per_page'        => 11,
];

$orm = tribe_events()->by_args( $args );
$events = $orm->all();

    Hopefully this helps you, otherwise let me know and I will gladly help further.

    @bordoni thanks for the quick reply and the workaround.
    I actually came across this using the QL-Events extension for WPGraphQL.

    Seeing as this is seemingly a known quirk, I’ll relay that there (no idea how feasible it is to use TEC’s orm instead of wordpress’ built in queries.)

    Going to leave this ticket open for a little bit, and report back.

    It’s been a while since this thread has been active, so I’m going to go ahead and close it for now.

    Feel free to open up a new one if anything else comes up.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Thanks,?Jaime
