Hello,

I am using this shortcode, but the list of events continues to display expired events when clicking the Register button.

I have attempted to modify the event setup so that all dates are historical, but the events still appear as a choice for the user.

[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”recurring-dropdown” show_expired=”false” sort=”ASC” order_by=”start_date”]

What am I missing?

Hi Richard,

Event Espresso uses a combination of the Event Dates and Registration Dates to determine if an event has expired. Are the registration dates still valid for those events?

Can you open the event editor on one of the events that are ‘expired’ and take a Screenshot of the date/time section please, like this – http://take.ms/H9PxR

The following event configured as indicated still appears in the drop down of selectable dates:

Event Current Status: CLOSED

Event Registration Start: 2015-02-05
Registration End: 2015-05-29

Is this a recurring event? YES

Create dates: Automatically

Registration Starts On: 2015-01-01
Registration Ends On: 2015-04-24

Are all events available between the registration dates above: NO

First Event Date: 2015-04-24
First Event End Date: 2015-04-24
Last Event Date: 2015-06-26

Event Repeats: Weekly
Every: 1 Weeks
Repeats on: Friday

I re-created your recurring series and it only shows the active events on my install.

Which version number of the Custom Template Add-on are you using?

Which version number of the Recurring Dropdown Template are you using?

Also:

show_expired=”false”
sort=”ASC”
order_by=”start_date”

Are the defaults for those attributes so you can remove them leaving:

[EVENT_CUSTOM_VIEW template_name=”recurring-dropdown”]
