In WordPress, with EventOn, I have events on:
Jan 21
Jan 25
Jan 25
Jan 26
Jan 26
Jan 27
Jan 29
Jan 29
Feb 2
(Among others further in the past, but we’ll start with these to illustrate the bug)
First, when I use this shortcode:
[add_eventon_list event_count=”6″]
I expect it to show the last 6 events, but it’s only showing the Feb 2 event – https://d.pr/i/Edb8OQ – it won’t show any from January.
So I change it to:
[add_eventon_list event_count=”6″ number_of_months=”6″]
I expect it to show 6 events from Feb/Jan/etc. But it shows me the NEXT 6 months – https://d.pr/i/kxtLPI
So I change it to:
[add_eventon_list event_count=”6″ number_of_months=”6″ event_past_future=”past”]
I expect it now to show only the PAST 6 events from Feb/Jan/etc. But it’s still showing the same as above.
So I change it to:
[add_eventon_list event_count=”6″ event_past_future=”past”]
Thinking that maybe the “number_of_months” parameter was forcing it – somehow – to only show future events. But now, again, it’s only showing the Feb events. See how I’m getting frustrated and confused?
So I change it to:
[add_eventon_list event_count=”6″ event_past_future=”past” month_incre=”-1″ event_order=”DESC”]
Thinking that I’ll force it to also look back 1 month. Which works, but now it’s not showing the Feb date.
I don’t get it. How do I get it to show the LAST 6 months in a list, regardless of what month they were in? That’s all I’m looking for! Help!

[add_eventon_list number_of_months=”6″ month_incre=”-6″ show_year=”yes” ]
That doesn’t show February – it only shows the events in January.
Hello,
Event Lists’ event_count limits number of events per month and not overall.
event_order selects ascending or descending order for events within a month and doesn’t order months themselves.
You need Event Lists: Ext add-on for this: https://www.myeventon.com/addons/event-lists-extended/
It has “Apply Event Count to Whole Events List” and “Month Order for List” options. Try on https://dev.myeventon.com/wp-admin/ with this shortcode:
[add_eventon_el event_count_list=”yes” event_count=”6″ month_order=”DESC” el_type=”pe” number_of_months=”12″]
That’s kind of silly that we have to pay more to get basic functionality. Regardless though, doesn’t look like it’s working – https://d.pr/i/iXWrxi – it’s still sorting in a weird order. Feb 1st and then the BEGINNING of Jan until the end?
To be honest I am unclear as to what you are after
are you wanting to create a list of past events and not show any future events?
My issue is similar to this.
I’d like to have one list of upcoming events (10 or so) that might span over a couple months, and hide months that don’t have any events (and have the details slide down and expand when clicked). What short code would I use to display that?
I thought I got it to work once, but then it stopped working. I bought the full version, hoping that functionality was available there. Please advise.
Hello Kameron Bayne,
Please use Event Lists:
[add_eventon_list number_of_months=”12″ hide_empty_months=”yes” ux_val=”1″]
Thank you! I got it to display with the details dropdown. However, it only displays one event, even though I have two others under events already (one in Dec. and another in Apr.). Please advise.
Kameron Bayne,
