Accessing the Event Filters Widget
Note: This widget’s filtering controls only work when viewing all events or specific calendar events in the archive page.
To customize event filters, log in to your WordPress site and go to Appearance ยป Widgets. Here, click the plus icon next to the area you wish to display the widget to add a new block.
After that, type ‘event filter’ into the search bar and select the Event Filters block.
Next, you’ll need to enter a title for the widget. For our example, we used Filtering Options, but you can use any name you like. Once done, click Update to save your changes.
Using Event Filters
After adding the Event Filters widget, you’ll be able to use it to filter event and calendar lists on your site. Below, we’ll cover the available filtering options.
- Upcoming events: This option will filter the calendar list to only show upcoming events.
- In-progress events: When selected, only ongoing events will be displayed.
- Past events: This option will hide upcoming and ongoing events and only display past events.
- All events: This filter will show all the events you’ve added to your site. If you’ve configured other filtering options, this will also override them.
