What would you guys suggest on speeding up our Events Calendar? The client is getting complaints – especially on mobile…. I’m not 100% sure what to try…

Thank you!
Shelly

Hi Shelly,

You could speed things up by setting show_expired=false to the calendar shortcode. This will affect the speed because it will no longer need to query through all of the old events when it builds the calendar.

e.g.

[ESPRESSO_CALENDAR show_expired=false]

Turns out this works to speed it up but it also seems to hide events that have dates in the past AND dates in the future like this guy: https://hoffmanarts.org/events/open-clay-studio-36/

That seems weird since they entered in unique date times. But I might be confused.

All I know is that when I added this little bit to the shortcode, the Open Clay Studio disappeared from the Calendar.

Thanks Josh!

Hi Shelly,

It looks like that’s because Open Clay Studio has no tickets on sale anymore. What you can do is apply a filter and that event (and other like events with no tickets on sale at the moment) will continue to display with show_expired=false. Here’s a code snippet that adds the filter:

You can add the above to a functions plugin or, if available, into your WordPress child theme’s functions.php file.

Thanks Josh – we’ll try that. You are a Gem!
