I am using [EVENT_LIST] to display my events on my pages. I am not using the calendar or any other method to show events to visitors. I have an event registration set for the month of September only (it’s currently August). This event still shows up in the event list even though you can’t register for it. I understand if you view the event page a “you can’t register” message shows, but this seems very unintuitive for a visitor/user thinking if an event has a “Register” button only to find out they can’t actually register yet. How can I disable the event from showing at all unless it falls within the registration dates?

Have you tried setting show_expired to false?
[EVENT_LIST show_expired=false]

I added that and my events completely disappear. Does this parameter key off the EVENT START DATE or the REGISTRATION START DATE? I still want to show events if today is within the registration dates.

Registration start/end dates.

I’m also having a challenge displaying the nearest non-closed (reg still open) event from the list using the shortcode. Here is what I’m using:
[EVENT_LIST limit=1 show_expired=false]
But it still returns the nearest event, even though its registration period has closed. I’ve tried using the order_by option, but sort-wise, the closed event still trumps the next open event.
Any suggestions before I resort to overriding the shortcode? Thanks!
