   This is urgent! Please help. The below feeds were going out to 2000+ people in a mailchimp campaign on a weekly basis and working fine until I upgraded 'Events Manager' as it no longer worked with the new version of WordPress on the following site - below are the feeds, as you can see they now show all the events and are no longer differentiated by location or in date order (in this case - the 'state' i.e county in Thailand) as before: -

   http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/feed/?loc=Chiang+Mai
   http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/feed/?loc=Pattaya
   http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/feed/?loc=Hua+Hin
   http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/feed/?loc=Chiang+Rai
   http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/feed/?loc=Bangkok

   I am completely stumped as to how to fix this and why is broke?

   Hi there, I already tried the steps suggested in that thread but it is almost a year old now and did not help me. We previously were using version 5.1.3

   I really hope you can help!

   have you tried to modify template file at templates/rss.php
   e.g.
   add
   , 'town'=>$_REQUEST['loc']
   after
   'owner'=>false at around line 22 then to use

   http://yourdomain.com/events-4/rss/?loc=San Diego where events-4 is the events page you set.

   to use templates - http://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/using-template-files/

   Not as yet - I will try now - thank you - can I use 'state' in place of town? I will try and get back to you :-)

   I have modified the file - the code now looks like this:

   $description_format = str_replace ( ">", ">", str_replace ( "<", "<", get_option ( 'dbem_rss_description_format' ) ) );
   //$EM_Events = new EM_Events( array('limit'=>5, 'owner'=>false) ); , 'town'=>$_REQUEST['loc']
   $EM_Events = EM_Events::get( array('scope'=>'future', 'owner'=>false) );

   I have also tried with , 'state'=>$_REQUEST['loc']

   and used the following http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/rss/?loc=Bangkok

   But it still does not work. Any other ideas?

   Should this file be in my theme folder?

   I have tried it in my theme folder but still no differentiation by location with both town and state.

   The only thing I do notice is it is now in date order...

   Can you refer me to a programmer who can fix this issue for us?

    I just pasted that whole thing into my theme/plugins/events-manager/templates/rss.php file and when I tried the following rss url http://www.expatnewsletter.net/events/rss/?loc=Bangkok it didn't take me to google reader as usual - a download window came up and said "You have chosen to Open a Text Document'

    I'm guessing something went wrong! Any idea? Should I paste it into rss.php in the plugin?

    i'd check your server error logs, looks to me like a server/php error so that might give you a clue.

    I'm afraid I just don't have a clue what to do here? How would I check server error logs and to what purpose?

    I pasted it in again from RAW data copy area and no the error message is gone but the feed is out of date order and not in location order either....

    The feeds are due to go out again on Monday and I'm no closer to a solution. Again - can you refer me to a programmer who we can pay to fix this issue for us?
