Future events of one category

[Paksha Thullner]

A stupid question maybe … I tried a lot but I can’t get the future events only in the taxonomy-event-category template. I tried with WP Query but then I don’t succeed with filtering for 1 category. I would be happy with any hint.

Hi Paksha,

If you want to general show only future events there is an option in Settings > Event Organiser > General.

If you want to target (event) categories only, and the following to a utility plug-in / your theme’s functions.php:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'paksha_future_events_for_categories', 15 );
function paksha_future_events_for_categories( $query ){

    if( $query->is_main_query() && is_tax( 'event-category' ) ){
           $query->set( 'showpastevents', false );
    }
}

(see documentation for is_tax(): http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_tax )

For a specific category:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'paksha_future_events_for_categories', 15 );
function paksha_future_events_for_categories( $query ){

    if( $query->is_main_query() && is_tax( 'event-category', 'my-cat-slug' ) ){
           $query->set( 'showpastevents', false );
    }
 }

Thanks a lot. It works!
