Shortcodes for future and past events based on start and end dates

Hi @eng0el ,

You need to apply “[events]” shortcode to get upcoming event list, but as you mention you want to show specific filtered event, for that you need to add some custom code in your theme functions.php file.

add_filter('get_event_listings_query_args', 'custom_event_listings_query_args', 10, 2);

function custom_event_listings_query_args( $query_args, $args){

    global $post;

    $page_id = $post->ID;

    $datetime=date('Y-m-d');

    if($page_id == 'Your upcoming events page id'){

        $date_search[] = array(

            'key'     => '_event_start_date',

            'value'   => $datetime,

            'compare' => '>',

        );

    }else if($page_id == 'Your second events page id'){

        $date_search[] = array(

            'key'     => '_event_end_date',

            'value'   => $datetime,

            'compare' => '<',

        );

    }

    $query_args['meta_query'][] = $date_search;

    return $query_args;

}

In above code, you need to pass page id in place of “Your upcoming events page id” and “Your second events page id”. I hope that this code will help you to resolve your query.

Thank you.

Thank you @kikanirita !

It worked perfectly, all the best!

I was wondering if you have a method to change the label ‘Events’ if let’s say I want to name them Congresses? Is there a php function?

Hello @eng0el ,

One new feature is added for our upcoming version, there is one attribute added for [events] shortcode through which you can change the title.

[events title="Congresses"]

If you want this in urgent basis then please take latest version from our git repository : https://github.com/wpeventmanager/wp-event-manager/tree/3_1_37

Thank you.
