Hi there,

Are you using the [ESPRESSO_EVENTS] shortcode there? If so, then if you do something like this:

[ESPRESSO_EVENTS show_expired=true sort=DESC order_by=start_date]

It will list the events from most recent to least recent, but it will also display upcoming events (and the upcoming events will be listed first).

There isn’t a shortcode parameter that removes upcoming events, but you can use a custom filter function to remove those. You can add the following PHP code to accomplish this:

add_action('pre_get_posts','my_remove_upcoming_ee_events', 10);
function my_remove_upcoming_ee_events($wp_query){
    if (has_filter( 'FHEE__EEH_Event_Query__apply_query_filters' ) 
        && 
        is_page('events-past')
        ){
        add_filter('posts_where', 'my_custom_ee_posts_where', 11, 2);
    }
};
function my_custom_ee_posts_where( $sql ) {
    $sql = ' AND ' 
        . EEM_Datetime::instance()->table() 
        . '.DTT_EVT_start < \'' 
        . current_time('mysql', true) 
        . '\' ';
    remove_filter('posts_where', 'my_custom_ee_posts_where', 11);
    return $sql;
}

You can add the above to a functions plugin or into your WordPress theme’s functions.php file.

You add the following to what you have now:

sort=DESC order_by=start_date
