Hi Kor,

any news on this please?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Kor. Yes that’s right.

Are there any shortcodes I can use similar to the shortcodes/tags you have available in the meta data?

Thanks
Dave

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for that. I can see that issue 2 – the ‘Featured’ sort – is now working correctly on the category archive page which is great.

Issue 1 – It’s now correctly sorting by spotlight, then highest rating. However, not all of my spotlight events are appearing in the Top Picks widget still. Aladdin, which appears in the ‘Today’s events’ widget underneath, should be showing too.

Also, slightly new issue – The Little Mermaid, which is a recurring event, is showing the last date of the recurrences, whereas it should be showing the next one available i.e. Tue 24 Dec.

Thanks,
Dave

Just going back to issue 1)…

Even though the sort has now appeared as an option to select in the home page widget, it’s not working correctly. It’s putting the ‘Spotlight’ listings first, but it should then be sorting by highest rating, but it’s not.

Thanks Kiran.

I can see that problem number 3 has been fixed now and Little Mermaid recurrent event is now appearing in the category archive page.

However, problems 1 and 2 haven’t been fixed. Can you please take another look?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Alex, thanks for your reply.

I have just set up the following sort options in the Event Settings…

The ‘Recommended’ sort option as Spotlight > Rating > Event Date
The ‘Featured’ sort option as Spotlight > Featured > Event Date

Those are exactly how I need them to be.

I want to use ‘Recommended’ sort on the Top Picks widget on the home page.
I want to use ‘Featured’ as default sort on category / archive pages.

Here are the problem I’m having…

1) The ‘Recommended’ sort option isn’t available as an option for me to select under appearance > widgets in the WP Admin.

2) The ‘Featured’ sort is on the category/archive page by default, but is putting the Spotlight listings first, then followed by event date. Featured listings aren’t appearing second like they should be. Example here:
https://whatsonhub.co.uk/events/category/nightlife/united-kingdom/kingston-upon-hull/
‘Funny Friday’ is first as it should be. But the second item in the list should be ‘New Year’s Eve with Comedy Hypnotist’. Instead it’s third.

3) This recurring event here: https://whatsonhub.co.uk/events/united-kingdom/kingston-upon-hull/the-little-mermaid/ is marked as ‘featured’ but isn’t appearing at all in any of those 2 sorting options. It only appears in the listings when it’s sorted by other sorting options i.e. rating, event date.

Can you help me please?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi Alex,

If the field can’t be set as default to ‘checked’ why is the option there?

Does this mean the user has to manually check the box themselves on the front end form in order to do what I’m after? Right now it is hidden as I just want every listing submitted to be automatically marked as ‘claimed’.

Thanks,
Dave
