Hello,

Yes, that pushes event metadata into the feed, but my concern is the primary pubDate of the RSS item, such as:

<pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2019 21:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

This is the value I’d like to see populated with the start date/time of the event in each feed item ??

Added this to your awesome answer:

$query_args['order'] ='ASC';

And that was all it took!

Thank you! Resolved 100%

Thank you!

The filter effects the correct things – one more thing, how to reverse the order now that the feed is sorted by start date? As of now, it still starts from the event furthest away.

Adding: The feed also arranges the items by pubdate, it seems! That is not right in my use case. They should be arranged by the actual event start date, ascending from the closest day to current time down the list.

Thank you! ??

Hello,

Thank you ?? So happy to use your plugin and the support is stellar.

Now for that 5/5 review – you have earned it.

Hello,

The expiry date works fine when it’s set AFTER the event has been open.

In my case, all the events were on the same day; hence both start and end day were, for example, 11.25.2019. If you then set expiry date to 11.25.2019, the event does not expire and is showed on the listing even if it is set to not show expired events.

Feature requests: Make a checkbox for “event expires after event is over”. I think this is functionality that’s more expected than the one which is default now: events never expire.

Thank you! ??

Btw, using WP All Import to import datasets into WP Event Manager. Would also be nice if your plugin would let WPAI recognize your meta fields; now one has to spy them one-by-one to import to meta fields _event_start_date, _event_banner, event_end_time and so on and add them as manual data rows when creating the import settings.

Hello,

Thank you, that solves the problem.

However I still request all the default meta fields and their corresponding usage to be listed in your Documentation.

Thanks!

Ok,

I edited one event and set the expiry date to end date + 1. Then it disappeared and the single event page started to show that registration has been closed.

So the expiry date cannot be the same as the start date.

I’d change this behaviour, as inputting events that are a few hours at a time seem to be a bit unsupported as of now ??

Thank you, still super great plugin to use; tried many event calendars and ended up ripping hair from my head; this is nothing, lol.

Wait wait, sorry, actually the “hide expired events” did not work.

I now have the expiry date set for all entries after a new import. Yet all the events are still showing, all the way back from 2016.

How to proceed?

If it matters, all the events have their expiry date set to the same date as they are on, because the events only last for few hours and always start and end on the same day.

Hello!

Worked like a charm, thank you again.

Feature request: Add a shortcode-based option to display/hide expired events. That way one could have an archive of all events and then an another list with only upcoming events. There could also be an option on the same shortcode to show ONLY expired events. You should, I think, also be able to choose whether to filter out EXPIRED events OR/AND events that have their End date/time met.

Personally I have to edit all 450+ events now to make them expired correctly, as I didn’t set the end date to be the expiry date as well as the end date when importing the data from my dataset.

Also, you could have “upcoming X time” as a filtering option, as in “next 30 days”. As of now, the amount is static (i.e. “this month” or “next month”) and only gets refreshed when a week/day/month etc is over. So when it’s July, you can’t see August events even if it’s July 31st! Then on Aug 1st, you can see that current month once again. I don’t know where that would be practical..?

Thank you!

Make it premium! We will pay!

Hello!

Thank you. Solved the problem exactly. Suggestion: Add a section for RSS to your Documentation page on your site ??

Thank you again for awesome support – even for the free version!

Thank you!

Dima,

I have to reply to your reply.

I urge you to practice the way you ask for things, for your own good. You can’t say: “Because..?”, that sounds like you are forcing an answer. Also “Describe why you think this plugin” and so on, it’s a command forcing someone to reveal details of their opinion. You can’t command your customers or your community to do things.

I’ve never written this sort of feedback before, I feel odd, but had to speak my mind. I’m trying to think aloud – not cause ruckus ??

All the best,

– JP

Thank you!
