Events Missing from the List

An event can exist yet not appear on the Events page, the calendar or in search. Work through these causes.

The event is not published

Symptom: The event shows in Eventonomy → Events but not on the site.

Cause: Only Published events appear in public lists. Draft, Pending and Cancelled events do not. A Private event is hidden from listings and opens only for people with its link.

Fix: Open the event and set the status to Published. Events from members may wait in the approval queue. See Managing Events and Moderation Inbox.

The event has already happened

Symptom: An event from last week is gone.

Cause: Show past events is off by default.

Fix: Turn on Show past events in Settings → Appearance. Use Days of past events to show to limit how far back it goes. See Display Settings.

The event is sold out

Symptom: A full event disappears from the Events list and Upcoming block.

Cause: Hide sold-out events from listings is on.

Fix: Turn it off in Settings → Registration. The event page itself still opens for anyone with its link.

Search cannot find a new event

Symptom: The event is in the list but searching for its title returns nothing.

Cause: The database search index fell behind, usually after the database stopped unexpectedly.

Fix:

1. Go to Eventonomy → Setup & Health.
2. Find the row Search cannot find N of your newest events. A healthy site shows Event search finds your newest events.
3. Click Rebuild search index. It takes a moment and changes no events.

Developers can run wp eventonomy search-index to check and wp eventonomy search-index --rebuild to rebuild.

The block filters the list

Symptom: One page shows fewer events than another.

Cause: A block or shortcode may be limited by category, venue or organizer, or by an active search filter in the page URL.

Fix: Check the block settings in the editor, and remove any filters from the page address. See Placing Blocks.
