Hi
Have events entered over 5 days and am using the Event Category as a menu listing. While it sorts the events ok by date, it shows the results in a random time order. How can I get it to order by Time and Date. Thanks.
WordPress Version:
3.9.2
PHP Version:
5.4.31
MySQL Version:
5.5.36
Event Espresso Version:
4.3.0.p

Hi,
Are you using this shortcode?
[ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”free-events” order_by=”start_date,id”]

That short code works in that the events are in the right order, but it creates a page with an enormous event picture and no event information, while using the Appearance>Menus>Event Categories creates a perfect layout of picture and event information, just in the wrong order.

Is the event categories page showing the events in reverse chronological order?

No, somewhat random. Here is one page http://www.sherborneliterarysociety.com/event-category/member-festival-wednesday/

Hi James,
The only way to achieve what you are after is to modify the template files.
Copy these files to your theme folder
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014/archive-espresso_events.php
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014/loop-espresso_events.php
Copy the function from this file to your themes functions.php
/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/templates/Espresso_Arabica_2014/functions.php
In the loop-espresso_events.php above the if have posts section add
if( is_tax() ) {
$cat = single_cat_title( '', false );
if($cat != '') { $cat = strtolower( str_replace(' ', '-', $cat ) ); } else { $cat = NULL; }
$atts = array(
'title' => NULL,
'limit' => 100,
'css_class' => NULL,
'show_expired' => FALSE,
'month' => NULL,
'category_slug' => $cat,
'order_by' => 'start_time',
'sort' => 'ASC'
);
// run the query
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
}
At the bottom of the page add
// now reset the query and postdata
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata();
That should make it so that the /event-category/my-category-name/ events will be ordered by time.
You may still need to style them though, just like you would have to with the shortcode.
