I’m trying to show the next event. I checked this page:
http://wp-event-organiser.com/documentation/relative-date-formats/

and the forum, and got an interesting code from this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-event-organiser-displaying-next-upcoming-event-outside-of-the-loop

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work. I get a Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in

Also I only want to show the next event (thumbnail + title + excerpt, that I know how to do).

I think it also may be interesting to show the other events, simply using <?php $i=1; ?> <?php if ($i == 1) : ?> <?php else : ?> like I already with WP Query, to customize the next event differently from the next ones.

This plugin is great but it’s hard for non-developers like me to go ‘beyond’ basic functions… Thank you for your help!

Did you see the comment in that thread after the code? They said it was the apostrophe in “Fred’s” that was causing issues…

The important part of that thread is this part:
```
$event_args = array(
    'numberposts' => 5,
    'orderby' => 'eventstart',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'event_end_after' => 'today',
);
$events = eo_get_events($event_args)
```
(Or it can be used WP_Query().).

The code given in that thread does what you want to, but its just that it seems there are some syntax errors in it…

I haave modified the apostrophe at first, but it was the PHP I had to add on 1st line and last (and in between) that I got wrong.

Works fine now, thanks again! 🙂
