@lorro – ok will test it out and see if it works fine. Thanks for your help. As its a live site I am a bit concerned as if it goes wrong will affect orders on live site. Thanks

@barryhughes-1 Thanks for your suggestion of building events by day. But even with default setup if you see this image which I shared

Ongoing Events by Date – for individual dates too it does not arrange events by time. It arranges first by date then by time. I checked the link you shared

https://wpshindig.com/events/2019-08-07/

And that does arrange it a bit different. I think the demo shared is of the pro version and when you add recurring / ongoing events in Pro most possibly its creating multiple posts for the same event and thus what you have is 1 post per date and thus it automatically arranges each date by time and thus result is correct. Why I think you are creating multiple posts is because when I click on a Event – it shows a date after each URL. In my case I dont see any date after each URL.

Like this –
https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/2019-08-14/

https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/2019-08-21/

In my case the URL ends here –
https://wpshindig.com/event/womens-javascript-study-group/
[nodate after url]

Now if you are creating so many posts – wont that affect performance for example if you have 10 events running for 1 month – if you are creating 1 post per date it means for 30 days you create 30 posts X 10 events which is 300 posts!

I am not sure how your pro version works but my understanding is based on the URLs I checked as I think 1 URL = 1 post. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

@barryhughes-1 Thanks a lot for your detailed response.

I definitely agree this is a community forum – and if you do read my initial comments I have clearly asked if this feature is present in the Pro Version (which means I am ready to pay for the Pro Version if the functionality is available in that version).

I checked the link you shared and like I mentioned earlier above

Sorry thats wrong. I just did a test installation and created 3 events. If event begin date is same then yes, it takes time into consideration, but if date is different but time is before any other time – it does not arrange by time. It only arranges by date first and then by time.

The above was created using default wordpress installation with default theme and basic plugin installation. So for example you publish an event starting on 10th April 2019 for 7:30 AM and publish another event on 10th April 2019 for 8:00 AM it correctly orders by time. But say if you publish one event starting 10th April and another on 11th April then it first arranges by Date then by time of publishing the event (and not just by time). So for example your 11th April event starts at 9AM and the 10th April event starts at 10 AM. But when you display using default calendar month view or day view you can see that the arrangement is as per Start Date and not by time.

Let me know if there is a solution for my issue. Thanks

@erishel . Thanks but there is no __EventStartTime meta key only _EventStartDate.

Well I personally think the query should be built into the Events Calendar function because right now there is no way we can order events for a specific day by time.

If you have some ready made function on how we can split the date and time and simply order by time for individual dates I could work something out because order by time is quite important for my project as we have multiple daily + ongoing events so order by time is mandatory. Thanks

@erishel Hi Any help or documentation I could look at? Is such a feature available in the Pro version? Where we can order by time? Because we definitely need this feature to work. Thanks

Hi,
Yes if we use

'orderby' =>'meta_value',
'meta_key' => '_EventStartDate',
'order' => 'ASC',

it does order by Event Start date and I get the above result.

But like I said I want to order by event time (which is part of event start date).

Right now events show up like
07:00 am
09:00 am
06:30 pm
04:30 pm
03:00 pm
08:30 am

but I want to sort the daily events by start time like this
07:00 am
08:30 am
09:00 am
03:00 pm
04:30 pm
06:30 pm

Any help with sorting the events as per time? Thank you.

@dsmithweb Thanks. The issue is there is no conflict which shows up in the Developer Mode I already checked that. But if I remove jQuery Cookie the woocommerce price filter works but i get a jquery error at this point >

TypeError: jQuery.cookie is not a function
jQuery.cookie ('woocommerce_cart_hash'

which is quite understandable because jQuery cookie is no longer present.

With jQuery cookie registered I am not able to get the Woocommerce Price Filter work as no errors are generated (i even kept wp debug true to see if any other errors were generated) and cant find any errors being generated!
