"Show past events" acts as though always off

    Either this is a bug, or I’m being stupid. The latter is entirely possible ??

    Throughout the Events system, past events don’t show up. They’re there in the admin interface under “all events”, and they appear on the calendar, but otherwise they don’t appear under an event category, they don’t appear on the postboard, etc. etc.

    “Show past events” is checked. I’ve also tried setting showpastevents=”true” in the event_board shortcode, to no avail.

    If I add event_start_after=(date of earliest event), then things seem to function correctly, and at the moment I’m using this as a workaround. Possibly specifying this overrides the past events filter?

    Thanks for any advice; if I can provide any further info, please let me know.

    The settings is misleading. The shortcodes and widgets are all configurable independently. That said, by default, the event list shortcode displays past events.

    The posterboard is different. That defaults to future events. You can use this to show past events:

    [event_board showpastevents=true event_start_after=false]

    For the event pages (e.g. events at venue X, or in category Y) then that is where that setting is intended for. I can’t say why it’s not working in your case but it does work in the tests. To determine what the issue you’d need to look into what the actual query is (installing Query Monitor is useful for this).

    Thanks for the response. That does indeed work for the posterboard, so thank you for that. That was the important one, so I’m not going to have time to investigate things like category pages (most users of this particular site will never use them anyway)

    Thanks for the help, and for the plugin!
