Hello,
I’m using the below query to display 5 upcoming events.
<?php $atts = array(
'title' => NULL,
'limit' => 5,
'css_class' => NULL,
'show_expired' => FALSE,
'month' => NULL,
'category_slug' => NULL,
'order_by' => 'start_date',
'sort' => 'ASC'
);
// run the query
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new EventEspresso\core\domain\services\wp_queries\EventListQuery( $atts );
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post();
$x = $post->EE_Event->first_datetime();?>
<div>
" aria-label="">
<p><?= $x->start_date('j M'); ?></p>
<p><?php echo the_title(); ?></p>
</div>
<?php endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
The events are displaying as expected but any code below the page is not displaying.
After removing while loop, the content displays below.
Can you please advise on how to retain the loop but display any code below?
Thanks

Hi there,
May I ask why you are overriding the global $wp_query object for this?
Don’t use global $wp_query; and then anywhere you are using $wp_query change it to $event_query.
Does it work for you then?

Hi Tony,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I found the code somewhere (maybe stack overflow?)
Brilliant, thank you, that’s worked.
Thanks again.

Yeah, so the reason it wasn’t working is your overriding the global $wp_query which should at that point be the main query with the Event list query and then using it as a custom/secondary loop.
wp_reset_postdata(); resets the $post object back to the main query’s post but as you’ve not overwritten that, it doesn’t work 🙂
wp_reset_query() likely would have worked but you shouldn’t need to do that and should be using a custom variable as above.
So then when you reset above your resting the $post object, but $wp_query was still the ‘wrong’ query.
Anyway, just a quick explanation on what I think was happening, I’m glad the above worked for you 🙂
