I need the meta_key and meta_value to hide an event…BADLY!

[efromdc]

Im looking through the db cant cant see the key and value to hide an event.

Can you give them to me please?

Thanks

Hi!

Do you wish to hide this event from all views – and could you simply change its status from published to draft if so?

Let me know if that helps 🙂

[efromdc]

No that does not help because if you draft it, it isn’t searchable. I respectfully asked for the meta_key and meta_value to HIDE an event. Can you reply with the answer please?

[efromdc]

I understand your point, by the way…but in your next reply, please do not reply with alternative measures as I can’t use an alternative. I need the result of the question I asked.

Please reply with the meta_key and meta_value for hiding. No analysis, nothing more, nothing less. I have a client who needs this and I can’t waste another 18 hours on a answer.

Thank you

Hi efromdc,

So given what you’re describing the closest we’ve got at this time is:

_EventHideFromUpcoming

Which can be set to yes to indicate that an event should be hidden from event listings. This correlates directly to the Hide From Event Listings setting that can be found within the event editor itself. It’s important to be aware of a couple of things if you choose to follow this approach, though:

• It will not cause events to be hidden within day view (this is a current bug)
• Events can be found via the main WP search but will remain hidden if the search is conducted via one of the event pages (for example – if a visitor views whatever month your hidden event takes place in, and types in a pertinent search term, it will not display)

The first of those is a bug as noted – but the second is intentional behaviour.

I hope that helps!

Excellent. THANKS!

Fantastic 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but if we can help with anything else please do feel free to create a new thread and one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Thanks again!
