Remove Past Events From Search Results

[santosfel5]

I’m attempting to remove past events from The Events Calendar from my site’s search results. The search results include multiple post types including Events. This is the condition that I set for posts.

Only show posts if the start date of the event is after the current date.

{{dc:post:meta key="_eventstartdateutc" format="Y-m-d"}} after {{dc:global:date format="Y-m-d"}}

Unfortunately, this results in no posts appears. Not even events. What am I doing wrong?

Hello @santosfel5,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully using the conditions is not the correct way of removing or hiding away the past events. Kindly check out these links instead:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/remove-past-events/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/exclude-past-events-from-wp-search/

Best Regards.

Thank you! The extension that allows the event to be deleted as soon as 15 minutes after completion resolved this issue.

You are most welcome, @santosfel5.
