However any single day event with times set as ALL DAY show as finished on day of event * Also using `{is_long} {is_past}content{/is_past} {/is_long}` makes single events that have past not show as finished **EXAMPLES OF BOTH** look here at past event over more than one day, and past event single day [http://www.gigzone.co.uk/](http://www.gigzone.co.uk/) * using `{not_long}` * [http://whatsoninberkshire.co.uk/](http://whatsoninberkshire.co.uk/) * Thread Starter [mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/) * (@mrppp) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-finished/#post-3966067) * would this work define(‘EM_CONDITIONAL_RECURSIONS’,3); * ``` {is_long}{not_long} {is_past}content{/is_past} {/is_long}{/not_long} ``` * Thread Starter [mrppp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrppp/) * (@mrppp) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-finished/#post-3966069) * set as `

Those two placeholders don’t really cater for this situation, hence why you’re struggling to get the result you desire. * Cheers Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 21 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-finished/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-finished/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Event finished’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/events-manager/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1039078) * [Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/events-manager/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/events-manager/reviews/) * 21 replies * 5 participants * Last reply from: [Marcus (aka @msykes)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netweblogic/) * Last activity: [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/event-finished/page/2/#post-3966095) * Status: resolved
