hi,
was wondering, i want to implement this in the blog loop (which is essentially a gig list), rather then in an archived sidebar list.
have you tried that?
thanks!

Jordan, Thank you so much! But I actually had to enter 86400 (seconds in a day) and not us “post_date) < time()-(86400))

Thank you none the less. I wouldn't have made it there without you pointing me in the right direction.

If anybody else comes across and wants to display future dates and today’s, change line 8 to be:
if(strtotime($post->post_date) <= time() – (24 * 60 * 60))
24hrs*60min*60seconds is a day in seconds.

Thanks for the walkthrough!

Hi Edoriv. Did you ever get an answer to this? I’m trying to do the same thing. Thanks.

Hi Keith, you just need to add an "or" condition to the first if-statement...so line 2 in the above code should be changed to something like this: if(is_category('events-list') || is_category('category-slug-2') || is_category('category-slug-3)) Obviously change "category-slug-2" and "-3" to your new category page slugs.

probably a very simple question/solution but I can’t find it and am a total doofus at php
I’d like to add 2 categories to the future events script but can’t get it to work. I’ve tried commas and extras brackets etc but n joy. This is because there are small local events on a category that is excluded from the main front page and, obviously bigger events which need to be on main page?

heres hoping thanks

is there any way to show these in a feed?

Thanks for pointing that out Daniel. WordPress changes that automatically if I edit a post and sometimes I forget to change the code back. It’s all fixed now…on this post at least.

Great tip, thanks. Unfortunately it took me a while to find out, that you have to use just an ampersand (&) and not the html code (&). Now it works, great.

what about the built in calendar on the left side (widget) … how do you get that calendar to show a future post? thank you in advance!

great little tip, perfect trick for a simple scheduled event listing. You can also save your archive.php file as category.php so as not to affect the archive display.
