    I have an event category that behaves differently from current and future events. Basically, they are not date-dependent. How do I modify the default event behaviour so that those events do not disappear from the category archives?

    Hi @vonnieb,

    I’m not quite sure I understand your issue. Are you looking to customize event category behavior or is there an issue with the way that this feature is behaving on your site?

    Any further details would be greatly appreciated so that we can help!

    I’m looking to customize the event behaviour. Although since I created this question, I’ve been able to clarify some things.

    I have 3 event categories. Two of them are designed to behave normally with events expiring and moving over to the “past events” page which is perfect. The third category is designed to be more of a listing rather than being date-dependant. I’ve included this category in your event plugin because the client wants them to appear on the calendar view. The problem is that the dates are very random, seasonal and don’t always follow a pattern such as weekly or monthly.

    The main viewing access for this category of events is via a list view archive page. Currently the events expire and disappear from this page. I don’t want that to happen. I want to display all events in this category perpetually, regardless of event date (or post date when no event date is filled it).

    Is this possible?

    I’ve since set up a staging environment for this site so you can access it here. It’s the Clubs category:

    https://vonovo.ca/dev-clients/pickering-probus/events/category/mt-all-events/mt-clubs/list/?tribe_paged=1&tribe_event_display=list

    It is still in development though so best to access on a larger device (desktop or laptop) as it is not mobile first.

    If this cannot be achieved via a template or loop customization, one thought I had was to just input a date 10 years in the future (and hide the date from display) and leave those events off the calendar. That feels rather hacky though.
