upcoming event list shows past events

That is really weird.

Are you using some kind of caching plugin?
Is the time properly set up in WordPress?

Jeroen

The time is set up properly and no caching plugin is in use.

So now it is going really weird.
Because i cant do anything else, i updated Backup-Buddy. After updating the event list shows only the real upcoming events. So i thought everything is ok. I was not really satisfied with this because i would like to now why a error occurs. So i looked at another page, where in the sidebar a widget shows the next upcoming event. To my surprise the widget shows the event from the 20. December, like the general event list before updating the plugin. So i looked at the widget. The code i used there was:

[wpt_events limit=”1″]{{thumbnail|permalink}}{{title|permalink}}{{datetime|date}}[/wpt_events].

So i tried something. I just used: [wpt_events limit=”1″][/wpt_events].
Now the upcoming event is showed correctly, although it does not look the way i want.

Now i am totally confused. I did not changed the shortcode of the event list, but suddenly it shows only the upcoming events. The widget is showing past events back to the date of 20. December. After changing the shortcode it works correctly.

What is this???

It seems there is a problem with transients in your WordPress install.

The output of the [wpt_events] shortcode is supposed to be stored in the database for 10 minutes. I your case it looked like it was stored indefinitely.

Can you let me know if the problem is truly solved after updating the shortcode in the database?

I put my old shortcode back to the widget and now it works like it should. Perfect!
I will have a closer look to the website in future to see if it happens again. I really do not understand why it happens because in the period of time when the problem occurs nothing was changed on the website. So the problem came out of nowhere.

Anywhere, the problem is solved for the moment.

I wish you a happy new year.
