How can I keep my past calendar events on the calendar. They disappear once they are over.

Hi Lisa,
You just need to set the show_expired attribute to true on the calendar shortcode.
So for example:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”true”]
We have a full list of available shortcodes & attributes for the Calendar available here:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#calendar
Hope that helps.

Hi Lisa,
Could you tell us the steps that you went through to update the shortcode for the Calendar?
Also could you share a link to your calendar page?

So on the Upcoming Events pages – I was told to add this shortcode [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier” show_expired=”true”] instead of [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier”] because our events were disappearing after they were over.
However when I did this – now none of our events are on the calendar and we can’t add any. When I tried to put the old [ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier”] back in – it still does not work.

Hello,
That should not have removed any events since its simply retrieving the existing information.
Are you running any caching services?
Could you temporarily deactivate Event Espresso & related plugins and then reactivate them?

I can look into that but need to make sure that I will not loose all of our current event information in there.
If it will not erase the event information — how do I deactivate and reactivate?

This can be done through WordPress admin –> Plugins.
Be sure that you select the “deactivate” option and not the delete option. This will turn the plugin off and then you can reactivate them.

No — deactivating and reactivating did not work. I want to confirm that this is what should be on that page:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier” show_expired=”true”]

Hi Lisa,
Is that the exact shortcode that you’re using?
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”your_category_identifier” show_expired=”true”]
your_category_identifier should be updated for your actual category.
For example if your category identifier was 123_test, then the shortcode would be:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”123_test” show_expired=”true”]
You can find the identifier by going to the categories page in Event Espresso.

So on my categories page — I have 9 categories — each has a different code. How do I know what the full code for all of these would be?

You would like to show all events in categories? In that case, you can just use this:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=”true”]
If you want to show events from a specific category, then you would use something like this where 123_test is swapped with the id for your own category:
[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR event_category_id=”123_test” show_expired=”true”]
Does this help?

Strange — that is the first thing I did which made the events go away. However somehow today doing that again made the events all come back. Thanks!!!
