Reply To: Custom query: how to show future events only?

Hi Ben,

For that you need to write a complex query for it and need to use filter. It should be like this and you need to keep in your functions.php of your theme file.

add_filter('wmlp_query', 'my_custom_query_wmlp',10,2);
function my_custom_query_wmlp($args, $shortcodeID){
  if ($shortcodeID == 2){ //WHERE 2 should be replaced with your shortcode ID
    $today = date('Ymd');
	$args['meta_key'] = 'eventstart';
    $args['meta_query'] = array(
			array(
				'key' => 'eventstart',
				'value' => $today,
				'compare' => '>='
        )
       );
	$args['orderby'] => 'meta_value_num';
    $args['order''] => 'ASC'; 
    return $args;
  }
}

Hope this helps. Also, please make sure your date is in YMD format.

Thanks
