How do I show past events in a specific category?
[EVENT_ESPRESSO_CATEGORY event_category_id=”XXX” order_by=date(start_date)]
works ok for me but it shows only upcoming events. I’d like to have 2 different lists on a page: upcoming and past events. How can I do it?
Thanks!

Hei,
There isnt any shortcodes that can do that currently. The closest would be the [EVENT_LIST] shortcode using both the expired= true and the category attributes. However that will still show both the current and expired events.
There are two options to do what you want though neither is ideal
1) Create a custom shortcode that pulls out the right data.
2) Use categories, so that an expired event is (manually) given a category such as “expired” and then that can be used to filter those events into a separate list.

I tried the 2 choice. I updated the category of a past event. Then used this sortcode on the events page:
[EVENT_LIST event_category_id=”XYZ” expired= true]
No events shown. Am I using the shortcode wrong?

Hi,
Check the Category ID in the Category page. If you left it as default when creating the category it usually ends up as something like “category-585858756”
