Pagination broken?
-
I just realized that pagination isn’t working anymore. I don’t really know when this started though. I looked around the internet and some users seem to have similar problems but none of their presented solutions helped solve my problem.
The link I provided is to the page where the problem occurs directly. I use shortcode on that page.
If it’s ok with the forum rules I would like to ask another question (if it’s not ok please ignore!): How can I write shortcode that shows events for the current year but only to the given date. For example: If I open the page on June 23 I see nothing but events from January 01 through June 23 of that year. Is that possible? I couldn’t find out how.
Thank you!

Add the following code snippet to create your own shortcode to do that:
add_shortcode('my_events_list', function( ) { $year = date("Y"); $begin_of_year = new DateTime("$year-01-01"); $start = $begin_of_year->format('Y-m-d'); $today = new DateTime('now'); $today->setTime(23, 59, 59); $end = $today->format('Y-m-d'); return do_shortcode('[events_list pagination=1 scope="' . $start . ',' . $end . '"]'); } );You can use the Code Snippets plugin to add this code snippet.
On your page you would use the [my_events_list] shortcode.
Remove the following line if you don’t want today’s events to be included in the results:
$today->setTime(23, 59, 59);Thank you so much!
Unfortunately I must be missing the knowledge to set this up properly. Somehow the shortcode works but it doesn’t return the expected list of events, it just shows “[events_list pagination=1 scope=”2024-01-01,2024-02-29″]”. I am very sorry to steal your time but would you be able to help me find out what I am doing wrong? I’ve tried for hours now… but I am just too stupid!

Thanks!
I finally had time to look into this again and found out that for whatever reason one of the brackets in the shortcode had transformed into its html number. Since I did nothing but copy-pasting it I never checked the code itself…
Now everything works. Thank you again!
In case joneiseman or someone with the knowledge sees this… How can I change the order of the events? I want the most recent event first… (and i am talking about changing it when using joneiseman’s shortcode!)
Thank you!
Add order=”desc” to the shortcode. Change this line in the code snippet:
return do_shortcode('[events_list pagination=1 scope="' . $start . ',' . $end . '"]');To this:
return do_shortcode('[events_list pagination=1 order="desc" scope="' . $start . ',' . $end . '"]');
