    Hi,
    I’m using The Events Calendar PRO and I want to use a GB Query Loop to show events that are currently happening. I can use a 3rd party TEC plugin for this but am trying to keep consistency across the site as much a possible, so a GB Query Loop would be preferable.

    Of course I can have the Query Loop filter by a ‘current events’ tag, but I wondered if there was an automated way to contain the output of a loop to events whose start date is today or prior and finish date is tomorrow or after?

    Many thanks.

    Hi there,

    In theory, that should be possible, but it depends on how The Events Calendar stores the event date for each event.

    If the date is stored in a way that WP_Query can read it as a date/meta value, then it can work with the GB Query block. However, it would still require a custom PHP filter to modify that specific query so it only returns events for the desired date.
