I am using Advanced Slider on my homepage to display the Event Espresso events (EE4), and I need to hide expired events from display in the slider. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? It doesn’t matter if I use Advanced Slider or another plugin – the client simply wants a slider with clickable images, event title(s), and a short description on the homepage scrolling through upcoming events.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using:
- WP 3.9.1
-
- EE4
- Calendar Add-on
The site: http://node1.blmgweb.com/~soctshrm/
Thanks.

Hi,
It looks like the only way to do it in that plugin is to use the Exclude (optional) setting in the slider: screenshot http://take.ms/ODJrk

Thanks Dean – As mentioned, I don’t necessarily need to use that plugin, I just need to make a slider work displaying active events (not expired events) for my client.
The optional Exclude setting in Advanced Slider doesn’t seem to be a valid solution, as the client would need to manually exclude events on an ongoing basis.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Hi Mike,
If you open up advanced-post-slider.php and look for where it starts the loop, you can modify the loop a bit so events that ended before today will not be included in the output. Some example code follows:
have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
$myslidepost = get_post();
$right_now = date('Y-m-d H:s:i');
if($template == 'one' && $myslidepost->DTT_EVT_end > $right_now):
?>
