Hello, I am trying to implement a custom code like this:

<code>&lt;php $args = array(
'posts_per_page'   =&gt; -1,
'offset'           =&gt; 0,
'category'         =&gt; '',
'orderby'          =&gt; 'post_date',
'order'            =&gt; 'DESC',
'include'          =&gt; '',
'exclude'          =&gt; '',
'meta_key'         =&gt; '',
'meta_value'       =&gt; '',
'post_type'        =&gt; 'espresso_events',
'post_status'      =&gt; 'publish',
'suppress_filters' =&gt; false ); 

$myposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;?php 

$datetimes = $post-&gt;EE_Event-&gt;datetimes_ordered();

foreach($datetimes as $datetime) {
 $startDate = $datetime -&gt; _DTT_EVT_start;
}
?&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;&lt;?php the_permalink(); ?&gt;&quot;&gt;&lt;?php the_title(); ?&gt;&lt;/a&gt; 
&lt;?php echo $startDate;?&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;?php endforeach; ?&gt;
</code>

It doesn’t seem to work. I mean, I can list events. But there is no way to actually:

SORT events by date
Show events’ dates

Can you confirm this? Tryin to use my code it throws a php error

Fatal error: Cannot access protected property EE_Datetime::$_DTT_EVT_start

I read your /classes/EE_Datetime.html#method_datetimes_ordered page and it says that property is protected. So…how can I use it to show a single event’s date using custom wordpress queries?

Moreover, your documentation is incomplete, here -> https://eventespresso.com/wiki/ee4-custom-post-types/ you forgot to say that ”
‘suppress_filters’ => false” is MANDATORY otherwise the EE_Event object won’t work 😉
