Upcoming events shortcode

Hi!

What you’re experiencing is the expected behaviour.

Event Rocket is really just piggy-backing on The Events Calendar itself and, when you query for events in a certain time range, the current behaviour is to include all events that start or have not expired within that period.

You can certainly alter this behaviour by changing the conditions within the query itself and, if you generally are happy with the way The Events Calendar behaves in this regard and only want to see this change in respect of the [event_embed] shortcode, that’s possible too:

• A filter hook – eventrocket_embed_event_args – runs right before the shortcode’s event query
• Simply by using this as a convenient jumping off point, you can consequently modify the query using standard WordPress hooks such as posts_where
• So as to avoid impacting on other queries, be sure to tear down your callbacks once the changes have been made

…As you can see this sort of change would require you to be fairly comfortable with coding and developing in a WordPress environment ??

It’s possible I will consider adding a new shortcode parameter to make it easier to lock things down in the way you have described – date-logic="strict" or something – however I’m not fully sold on the idea just yet.

Hey Barry,

Thank you for your kind reply and help. I will try it as you suggested. ??
