In event expresso is there away to archive events other than trash? Some events we like to keep in past events so don’t want to trash them. Also a lot of events we will reuse in the future so good if we can somehow file away from the current ones.

Hi,

Event Espresso does not have an “archive” feature for events in the way you describe, and there isn’t an “expired” attribute attached to the $post_object.

What you can do instead is do a JOIN on the esp_datetime table to get the datetimes of the event. Event Espresso 4 core does something similar when it does the query for the native WP custom post type archive for events.

Here’s a link to the source that shows how EE4 core filters out expired events:

https://github.com/eventespresso/event-espresso-core/blob/master/core/CPTs/EE_CPT_Event_Strategy.core.php#L64

You can review the methods there for:
posts_fields
posts_join
posts_where
