Using relative date patameters in standard wp_query

[Dan Branigan]

Hi there,

I’m trying to configure a standard wp_query and use the relative date parameters for wp event organiser. But it’s not working – am I using these incorrectly? I tried using your eo_get_events() function but I struggled to pull in other fields for the event post such as the excerpt.

Any help appreciated.


array( 'event' ),
'event_end_after'=>'now',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged
) ); ?>
have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

        <div class="post ">

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p class="teaser"><?php the_excerpt_rss(); ?> <a class="morelink" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">[More]</a></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>

Let me try that code paste again!


array( 'event' ),
'event_end_after'=>'now',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'posts_per_page' => 10,
'paged' => $paged
) ); ?>
have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

<div class="post ">

<a href="" title="">
<a class="morelink" href="" title="">[More]

Hi Dan,

Looks like the forum swallowed your code… The forum uses markdown and the easiest way to display blocks of code is to leave a blank line and indent the lines of code by at least 4 spaces. Alternatively, write out the code, highlight it and use the {} icon. Back tics can be used for inline-code.

As for your question, try

 $event_query = new WP_Query( array(
   'post_type' => 'event', //Pass as string rather than array
   'suppress_filters' => false, //Just to be sure it isn't set to 'true'.
   'event_end_after'=>'now',
   'orderby' => 'eventstart', //There isn't a menu order for events
   'order' => 'ASC',
   'posts_per_page' => 10,
   'paged' => $paged
 ) );

When using eo_get_events() – as with get_posts() – you can’t automatically use functions like the_content() and the_exerpt() as these need to be used in side ‘the loop’*. Also, when using other functions provided by Event Organiser outside of loop (e.g. eo_get_the_start()), then you will need to pass the post ID and (where appropriate) the occurrence ID (see examples)

Hope that helps!
