Custom query ignores scope=future

Resolved

(@taras_bulba)

Hello,

I’m trying to make a custom query to take the future events and display them in another custom plugin I’ve made. I’m using this query, but it will bring all the events, future and past, and ignore the scope. What’s wrong here? Thanks for your help.

$query_args = array(

        'post_type' => $post_type,

        'posts_per_page' => $posts_per_page,

        'category_name' => $category_name,

        'tag' => $tag,

        'orderby' => $orderby,

        'order' => $order,

	'scope' => 'future',

        'meta_key' => '_thumbnail_id' // Should pull only content with featured images

    );

    /* Allow the query args to be filtered */

    $query_args = apply_filters( 'arconix_flexslider_query_args', $query_args );

	$fquery = new WP_Query( $query_args );

maybe this thread can help you out – http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-combined-wp_query-of-events-and-locations?replies=10

I’ve read that thread and a couple more on the same issue, but I haven’t been able to figure out a solution by reading them.

I think my problem is more simple that the one in that thread. I just want to query the events with scope=future, but the query comes with every event.

What confuses me a lot is that this is not a complicated query, I don’t know if I am missing something too obvious here in my query.

Well, is not THAT custom, I just want to query the events with scope = future using WP_Query

Is it that difficult or weird what I’m trying to do?

What I need to do is this:

$EM_Events = EM_Events::get( array(‘scope’=>’future’) );

But using WP_Query

Any help?

maybe this snippet can give you some idea –
```
function my_em_wp_query(){
	$args = array(
		'post_type' => 'event',
		'posts_per_page' => 100,
		'meta_query' => array( 'key' => '_start_ts', 'value' => current_time('timestamp'), 'compare' => '>=', 'type'=>'numeric' ),
		'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'meta_key' => '_start_ts',
		'meta_value' => current_time('timestamp'),
		'meta_value_num' => current_time('timestamp'),
		'meta_compare' => '>='
	);

	// The Query
	$query = new WP_Query( $args );

	// The Loop
	while($query->have_posts()):
	$query->next_post();
	$id = $query->post->ID;
	echo '<li>';
	echo get_the_title($id);
	echo ' - '. get_post_meta($id, '_event_start_date', true);
	echo '</li>';
	endwhile;

	// Reset Post Data
	wp_reset_postdata();
}
add_shortcode('em_wp_query','my_em_wp_query');
```

Tnx for the snippet @agelonwi, helped me on my way. Only thing is that a meta_query needs to have a double array apparently. Example from: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query
```
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'product',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => 'color',
			'value' => 'blue',
			'compare' => 'NOT LIKE'
		)
	)
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
```

So the resulting query arguments would be something like:
```
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'event',
	'posts_per_page'         => '4',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key' => '_start_ts',
			'value' => current_time('timestamp'),
			'compare' => '>=',
			'type'=>'numeric'
		)
	)
);
```
