    Hello all.

    Events Manager is marvellous! My query concerns searching by text in the search box. Search results often include events which took place in the past, as well as current and future events.

    How/where do I configure my search options so that only current and future events are returned?

    Many thanks in advance for any input.

    Angelo thanks very much for your reply.

    I went to Events > Settings > Pages > Event List/Archives > Event list scope… and I have changed that setting to “Future events”. However when I enter a word in the search field, the results show me every event containing that word, including events whose end date (or single date) is well in the past.

    I wonder are there any other settings to be adjusted?

    Could you post a link? Thanks.

    Caimin, thank you for your comment.

    Unfortunately I can’t post a link as it’s some work I’m doing for a colleague who wants to keep her concept confidential at the moment.

    Curiously, changing the scope to any given setting (next week, future, past, etc…) doesn’t deliver that specified range either. All events, past present and future, are still returned from keyword searches – although not from clicking on an event tag or category, those lists contain only current and future events…

    another thing you can try is to modify template file at templates/templates/events-list.php and the add something like $args['scope'] = 'future';

    I modified the template file, but to no avail!

    Ended up resetting Events Manager to its original settings. That has worked! Now I just have to remake my page layouts – thankfully not too many.

    Many thanks again for all responses to my query.
