Stop showing event once registration is closed

Hello,
Was looking for a solution to have events whose registration is over, but are still upcoming, not show up in the event list or upcoming event widget. Found this existing thread that seemed to be dealing with the same issue and there was an apparent fix via a filter hook that would address the problem, but the thread was closed and I didn’t see the resulting code or how to implement.

Here’s the ticket I am referring to:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/expired-events-showing-in-sidebar-upcoming-events-widget/

Would love to see if the solution was developed or something similar that would allow events whose registration window has past to be hidden in the main event lists.

Thanks!

ON the event list page you can use the expired parameter:

show_expired="false"

Would that help?

Hi Garth, thanks for the quick reply. Would that filter out the events based on when the tickets availability ends? I was under the impression that the show_expired=”false” variable was associated with the event’s actual end date.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

That specific support post was for hiding expired events from the upcoming events widget and that is in progress.

The events listing page (e.g. example.com/events/) will show expired events and there is a way to exclude expired events.

You can see the sample code snippet here which can be added to to your child theme’s functions.php file or a site specific plugin:

This sounds promising. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks Lorenzo!
