Event Start Date causes running event to disappear

Can I make the “Event Start Date” automatically adjust to the actual current date versus a static start date? We have running events that go on for a whole month, but it disappears from the calendar once the start date is in the past. See our Great Give Back event on our October calendar: https://www.floridapubliclibrary.org/calendar/. The event start date is Oct. 6, but tomorrow it will disappear from the calendar.

Hi there,

Rather than changing the event start date we have a filter that can include events up until the ‘event end’ date within the calendar:

You can add that to a custom functions plugin and we have some documentation on creating one here:

Thank you for the information! It was very helpful and the calendar is now working as it should for us. THANK YOU.
