    Hello raidea89

    Thanks for this temporary solution. I am not (yet) familiar with child themes, so it may take me a while to test this, but I will (unless your dev team comes up with a plugin modification before I manage to do that).

    I have the same issue. My site (WP 5.4.4) has 43 active plugins, of which Stackable blocks, Ultimate Blocks and Post Blocks (user test), which is why I need a plugin like yours!

    Thank you Tobias for your prompt and helpful reply. I work voluntarily for a non-profit organization, but I just made a small donation since this helps me a lot.

    Hi Ben,

    Yes, a code patch is possible but that’s a real drag for maintaining the code after each update. Also, we don’t always want inverse chronological order, only for certain pages. We also want to be able to list future events in ascending order.

    In fact, we had patched the code to allow listing previous events going backwards from the current date. It’s because of the maintenance problems that poses that we have abandoned that.

    When we want to list past events, we now use the “exact-date” possibility that you pointed out to us. However, it’s a workaround for us, since although maintainability is improved (we no longer have to re-patch the code for each new version), ergonomics of use is not. We always start from the oldest event (and then for forwards) rather than starting from the most recent past event (and going backwards).

    It would be great if a future version could allow the user to choose, via a shortcode parameter, whether normal or inverse chronological ordering is required. The current date or the exact-date could still specify from what date to start listing events (in either order).

    Just an idea to improve your otherwise splendid plugin.

    Hi Ben,

    A follow-up on my previous post…

    Alternatively to only listing past events, a nice feature for me would be listing all events, both future and past, but in inverse chronological order. Is there any way of doing this ?

    Hi Ben.

    Thanks for that hint but, unless I am mistaken, that will also list future events. The function I require is that of listing only past events.

    Thanks

    Kento – I am having a second attempt at using Groups for access control. During a first attempt some months ago, I created a group and a capability with the same name to restrict access to two pages. During my current attempt, I deleted that capability and the group and got the problem reported at the root of this thread : the 2 pages disappeared.

    I applied the remedy given in your post and found my two lost pages. However, the corresponding capabilities do not show up in the pages’ ‘restrict access’ box, so I am unable to remove them properly before deleting the unwanted group and capability. In fact, nothing shows up in the ‘restrict access’ box (irrespectively of whether the “display groups” box is checked or not). I do not have this problem with the dummy page I created to apply your remedy, i.e., I can see the group/capability for that page.

    I also find that the shortcodes groups_member and groups_non_member don’t do anything – it’s as if the groups are not recognized at all, i.e., only text guarded by groups_non_member shows up, but never the text guarded by groups_member.

    I am using version 1.9.1 of Groups with WordPress version 4.2.5

    I would appreciate your help on these issues.
