 * Hi all,
 * I had some problem with the conditional placeholder {is_future}…I don’t have 
   knowledge in PHP, so I tried to use it in html code with the shortcode events_list_groped
   in the homepage…the problem is that if i put it in this way
 *  `[events_list_grouped scope="monthly" date_format="d F Y"] {is_future} #_EVENTLINK-#
   _CATEGORYLINK - #_EVENTDATES dalle ore #_EVENTTIMES<br />{/is_future}[/events_list_grouped]`
 * it works well, past events are not visible, but dates yes! For exemple: I had
   an event last week,on June 4, and the date is now display, without the event.

 * What can I do? I also tried to put the conditional placeholder before the tag
   but doesn’t work. Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * I think the problem is you have _scope=”monthly”_ instead of _mode=”monthly”_
   in your shortcode.
