    Hi,

    I am using gravity forms in combination with events-manager to automatically fill a dropdown list with upcoming events.

    I am having a little trouble with showing only the upcoming events because when i query for post-status future it will also display events that have already happened.

    The code i am using now is:

    $args = array(
        'posts_per_page'   => -1,
    'post_type' => 'event',
    'post_status' => 'publish,future',
);
$posts = get_posts($args);

    I thinks its probably a little more complicated then this….

    Hope someone can point me in the right direction?

    Thanks,

    Wim

    Hi Wim,

    You’d need to create a custom query based on event_start_date and event_end_date in the wp_em_events table.

    I know this is an old thread, but figured I’d post what I came up with in case it helps out someone else.

    get_posts(array(
  'post_type' => 'event',
  'posts_per_page' => 2,
  'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
  'meta_key' => '_start_ts',
  'order' => 'asc',
  'meta_query' => array(
    array(
      'key' => '_end_ts',
      'value' => date('U'),
      'compare' => '>'
    )
  )
));

    This will only pull in posts whose end time custom field is greater than the current date.
