Tweaks – Show past events in reverse order Breaks site

Hi @hmpgit ,

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to learn of the difficulties.

As an alternative, have you tried deactivating the extension plugin and applying the snippet in our Showing Past Events in Reverse Order knowledgebase article instead?

Doesn’t work. Have tried adding the code as per the link in the main functions file as well trying via a snipet plugin and neither work, the code does nothing to the display order. This is with the Tweaks plugin disabled. When the Tweaks plugin is re-enabled still get the below error and events disappear. Have tested on two different installs of WordPress and same issue.

Hi @hmpgit,

I tried the code, and it worked for the past events.

Please make sure to follow this article for adding snippets to your site:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/best-practices-for-implementing-custom-code-snippets/

After adding the code, check the past events by entering the following URL in the address bar:

https://YOUR SITE URL/events/list/?eventDisplay=past

Best,

Atousa

Sorry still not working

Hi @hmpgit

I’m sorry to hear that you’re still having this issue. Could I ask for the version of The Events Calendar plugin that you’re using? I would like to check it further on my side.

6.2.1

Hi @hmpgit

I was able to replicate the issue on my side when I enable the reverse order of past events from the Tweaks extension and enable the code snippet that reverses the order.

When I only use the Tweaks extension, the issue persists. But deactivating the Tweaks extension and enabling the code snippets will reverse the order of past events as expected.

Could you try to remove the snippet from the functions.php, install the Code Snippets plugin, add the following code below, and make sure to activate the snippet?

/**
 * Changes Past Event Reverse Chronological Order
 *
 * @param array $template_vars An array of variables used to display the current view.
 *
 * @return array Same as above. 
 */
function tribe_past_reverse_chronological_v2( $template_vars ) {
 
  if ( ! empty( $template_vars['is_past'] ) ) {
    $template_vars['events'] = array_reverse( $template_vars['events'] );
  }
 
  return $template_vars;
}
// Change List View to Past Event Reverse Chronological Order 
add_filter( 'tribe_events_views_v2_view_list_template_vars', 'tribe_past_reverse_chronological_v2', 100 );
// Change Photo View to Past Event Reverse Chronological Order
add_filter( 'tribe_events_views_v2_view_photo_template_vars', 'tribe_past_reverse_chronological_v2', 100 );

I implemented the above on my test site and it’s working as expected.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have further questions or concerns.

Thanks for your reply, have tried the above and get error

Snippet automatically deactivated due to an error on line 10:

Syntax error, unexpected single-quoted string "is_past".

Also tried the code from the page at https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/showing-past-events-in-reverse-order/ same issue.

Hi @hmpgit

Could I ask for a screenshot of the page on how you’ve added your code snippet? I want to check it further on my side.

Looking forward to your reply.
