Hi there,

With the current version you’ll need some custom code, however, can I just confirm that it is expired events you are referring to?

Meaning the ‘event end’ date for the event has passed, correct?

Ok, so in the current version nothing is displayed but in the next update to Event Espresso it will output something like: https://monosnap.com/file/EICn58Qts3NECbzd0BZx5uNHExPPmG

The text set there can be ‘translated’ to anything you prefer, does that work for you?

We have a couple of tickets to finalize before the next version is released so I we don’t have an ETA just yet.

If you are comfortable with FTP and PHP I can show you how to change this yourself if needed? The code to display that notice simply needs to be moved a few lines above where it is now. Normally we advise against modifying core files but the change in question will very likely be in the next release so it won’t matter.

Note that if you are not using FTP to change files and you get this wrong, you’ll crash the site and will need FTP (or some form of file editor access outside of WordPress) to fix it.

You need to edit /event-espresso-core/blob/master/modules/ticket_selector/DisplayTicketSelector.php and move THIS block of code to be just after this line.

So it looks like:

if (! $this->setEvent($event)) {
    return false;
}
// is the event expired ?
$template_args['event_is_expired'] = ! is_admin() ? $this->event->is_expired() : false;
if ($template_args['event_is_expired']) {
    return $this->expiredEventMessage();
}

That will then display the message I showed above.
