post__not_in, eventDisplay custom and upcoming events

Hi again!

Last week I’d asked about the post__not_in issue (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/post_not_in-isnt-working-in-custom-events-query?replies=4) and was able to fix it by adding the eventDisplay => custom tag.

However, the loop now shows the newest created events, instead of the next upcoming events – if I changed the eventDisplay to upcoming, it shows the upcoming events, but then we lose the ability to use post__not_in – is there a way around?

These are the current parameters:

'post__not_in' => array($featuredPost),'posts_per_page'=> 4,'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'eventDisplay' => 'custom'

Thanks for any help!
