Hi,

Something like this could be used – https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e3c9540cd4ccc734e755

You would need to change show_expired to true.

You would probably want to not show future events. There isn’t a setting for this, but it can be done with the wp_query itself, some thing like this_

					<ul class="events">
					<?php			
					$atts = array(
						'title' => NULL,
						'limit' => 100,
						'css_class' => NULL,
						'show_expired' => TRUE,
						'month' => NULL,
						'category_slug' => NULL,
						'order_by' => 'start_date',
						'sort' => 'DESC'
					);
					// run the query
					global $wp_query;
					$wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
						if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

							$post = get_post( get_the_ID() );
							$current_date = current_time( 'timestamp' );
							$event_date = strtotime($post->DTT_EVT_start);

							if( $event_date > $current_date ) { continue; }
							//var_dump($post);
					        ?>
					        <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>    	
					<?php
						endwhile;
						else:
					?>
						<li>No Upcoming Events</li>
					<?php 
					    endif;
					// now reset the query and postdata
					wp_reset_query();
					wp_reset_postdata();
					?>
					    </ul>

Note that this is purely an example, you may need to tweak it to make it work for your individual use case.

Hi Eddie,

I’m Event Espresso’s lead dev.

We’ve integrated the Kint debugging tool into Event Espresso, so anywhere you want to get a better look at an object (or array, or string, or whatever), you can simply add something like:

	global $post;
	d( $post );

into your code, and it will output all kinds of wondrous information.

So if you were to add the above anywhere inside the “loop”, and take a look at one of the EE Event post objects, you will see that we have attached all of the event data to the WP post object, but we have ALSO attached our EE_Event Custom Post Type (CPT) object to it as well.

to get a better look at the EE CPT object, you could change the above to this:

	global $post;
	d( $post->EE_Event );

Notice that in the Kint output (click the + sign to expand the container) there is a tab named “Available Methods” (http://awesomescreenshot.com/00931ch406) ?
click on that to see a list of every function you can call directly on the EE_Event CPT object (its a big list).

One of those methods is “venues()” (http://awesomescreenshot.com/04c31chd29)

so calling:

	global $post;
	$venues = $post->EE_Event->venues();

will give you an array of any related venues that belong to the event.

Now run d( $venues ); to see everything you can do with Venues (you’ll have to dig into that array of course).

Keep in mind that it’s always a wise idea to test the object you have before attempting to run methods on it, so do something like this first:

	global $post;
	if ( $post->EE_Event instanceof EE_Event ) {
		$venues = $post->EE_Event->venues();
		d( $venues );
	}

That should keep you out of trouble for a while!
