Hello!
I am trying to get a set of events that are in a category and not expired but my query keeps on showing me expired events.
This is the get_posts() filters I am sending.
Is this the correct syntax for filtering out expired events?
array(6) {
["posts_per_page"]=>
int(15)
["post_type"]=>
string(15) "espresso_events"
["orderby"]=>
string(4) "date"
["order"]=>
string(3) "asc"
["show_expired"]=>
bool(false)
["tax_query"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["taxonomy"]=>
string(25) "espresso_event_categories"
["terms"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(3) "352"
}
}
}
}
Everything else here seems to be working. I get a set of event posts in that category.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I found this thread,, but it seems like a lot of extra code on every search just to tune one search…
https://eventespresso.com/topic/expired-events-still-show-up-in-global-search-results-2/
It suggests adding a pre_get_posts filter and detecting something about the query.
Well, if I went this route…. what would I detect about the query I want to modify to show_expired = false? This example is detecting whether it is a search query or not. My query is just a custom query.
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
Is there a specific reason you are using get_posts() rather than the EE models?
IMO this is much easier with the model system.
$where = array(
'Datetime.DTT_EVT_end' => array( '>', EEM_Datetime::instance()->current_time_for_query( 'DTT_EVT_end' ) ),
'Term_Taxonomy.term_id' => 21,
);
$events = EEM_Event::instance()->get_all(array($where));
$events now contains an array of all non-expired EE events assigned to the Term with ID 21.
I found this thread,, but it seems like a lot of extra code on every search just to tune one search…
It’s not ‘tuning’ one search, its excluding expired EE events from any ‘main query’ search.
May I ask how else you would prefer to exclude expired EE events from the standard WP search? We have to check its a search query and then include the additional SQL within that query to exclude EE events.
Well, if I went this route…. what would I detect about the query I want to modify to show_expired = false?
You would need to check the query relates to EE events and the show_expired attribute was set, however again, the model system makes this much easier.

And of course, I forgot to include the category in the example, I’ve updated my above reply to include the term set on the event(s).
