Hello,

I will ask a dev to look at this, I can’t see any reason why it isn’t working.

If the event has ended, it removes it from the list as normal. Just not if registration only has ended.

is there a way to sort it so it doesnt show evens whose registration hasnt started yet, or has ended, like with the calender version>

[ESPRESSO_TABLE show_expired="false"] 

Should do the trick

Can you try:

[ESPRESSO_TABLE show_expired="false" category_identifier="coventry"]

Also, be sure to verify that the actual category identifier is coventry. Event Espresso will by default append a randomly generated numeric string to the end of the Unique Category Identifier. This can be overridden by entering your own Unique Category Identifier in the edit category screen.

that now displays only the events for coventry but events for all time, so the show_expired section appears not to be working

Hello

OK, I have done some extensive testing on this. I think that the problem lies in an issue with the category aspect rather than the expired. This has been resolved in 3.1.27.P

screenshot note the categories table being empty is correct as there was no active events under the category I chose and they appear when expired is set to true.

Also note that the category_id from .26 is now category_identifier in .27

Ive updated to the newest version of event espresso and it still is showing events that you are unable to register for

Hi,

Looking at this again, it seems I have been focusing on the expired rather than future registrations.

There is currently no mechanism built in to stop future registrations which arent yet open from being displayed. You would need to edit the shortcode’s code or implement some conditional logic in the template file to achieve this.

Further to this, there is a mechanism that may help you, the attribute max_days

[ESPRESSO_TABLE max_days=”30″ category_identifier=”coventry” show_expired=”false”]

It will only show events up to X days in the future (example is 30 days). This doesnt fully do what you want in terms of hiding all events where registration isnt open but it might be something you could use
