Past Events

Displaying past events by custom field date

In this example:

Ajax Load More will order past events by custom field date. All upcoming events will be dropped from the listing.

The following example uses Advanced Custom Fields to create an event date custom field (event_date) for an events post type.

Ajax Load More will run a query for the event_date custom field and only display results where the value is less than today’s date.

    The following shortcode was used to create the Past Events example.

    <?php $date = date("Y-m-d"); ?> [ajax_load_more post_type="events" meta_key="event_date" meta_value="'.$date.'" meta_compare="lessthan" meta_type="DATE" order="DESC" orderby="meta_value_num" posts_per_page="3" button_label="More Events"]

    Variables are being passed into this Ajax Load More shortcode using the do_shortcode method.

    The following Repeater Template was used to create the Past Events example.
