After many hours searching and wracking my brain I still have not found a solution.
I need to show all events up until todays date.
So far I have gotten to this point:
I have a list of events being shown using the short code:
[EVENT_LIST category_identifier="X" order_by=date(start_date) sort=DESC show_expired=true]
This shows ALL events.
Now I just need to hide all events that have ended via the EVENT end date.
Is it possible to specify this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MORE NOTES:
At the moment, if I remove “show_expired=true” from the short code, all events that have ended via their REGISTRATION end date are no longer visible despite having not even occurred yet via EVENT start/end date.
In Event Espresso > General Settings
The “Events expire on registration end date?” is set to NO.
I have tested with this as YES and as NO and despite using different browsers and clearing cache etc this setting does not seem to make any difference.
I found something that seemed to be a solution but it did not work, perhaps this is due to a newer version of Event Espresso.

Hi Mike,
The simplest way that I can think of to change this would be to uncomment the line where it displays the event in the case of the event being Not_Active.
So in the current version of Event Espresso, the switch case is near the end of /templates/event_list.php, which is this:
switch (event_espresso_get_status($event_id)) {
case 'NOT_ACTIVE':
//Don't show the event
//Uncomment the following two lines to show events that are not active and the active status array
//print_r( event_espresso_get_is_active($event_id));
//include('event_list_display.php');
break;
So what you can do is uncomment that line that tells it to include the event_list_display.php template, so it looks like this:
include('event_list_display.php');
Then you would leave the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode to display the default show_expired=false parameter.

Thank you so much Josh. Worked like a charm.
Amazing something so small as uncommenting a line can fix all my problems.
I am surprised this has not been asked about before though. Perhaps a new release will offer the option to “Expire events via Event-End-Date” instead of using the Registration-End-Date.
Thank you again!
