I’ve created a custom page template for my frontpage and other pages where I want to display 3 of the most soonest upcoming events.

I’m trying to display the venue name (with a link). The template tags displayed on don’t work. I get this error:

I’m using this query so I can sort the events by start date (which should be default for all event queries).

I’ve tried to explicitly call the helpers to see if that would help and it did not.

I have not changed the plugin core and I upgraded to 4.3.0 from 4.2.9 (which was previously upgraded from 4.2.8…when I installed the plugin).

How can I display the Venue name and URL with or without Template Tags? What am I missing? The following code is the what I’m using:

<?php			
$atts = array(
	'show_expired' => FALSE,
	'order_by' => 'start_date',
	'sort' => 'ASC'
);
// run the query
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );

if (have_posts()) : ?>

		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); // Start the loop. ?>

		<article class="list-event">

			<div class="event-summary">
				...
			</div>

			<div class="event-details">
				<p class="location">Location: <a href="<?php //espresso_venue_link(); ?>"><?php  espresso_venue_name( $post->ID ); ?></a></p>
			</div>

		</article>

	<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?> 
			
<?php else: ?>

	<p>No Upcoming Events</p>

<?php endif;
	
// now reset the query and postdata
wp_reset_query();
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
