Some people liked the old events tool as it uses a post to announce an event. No extra functions were necessary. When the post slides down the list this can be confusing in a list of posts, so you are better off displaying events separately in a list via a shortcode or the block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress lists posts in reverse chronological order, so the most recent post will always appear first in a list, unless you’ve chosen to make an older post sticky, so that it will trump the aforementioned rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few of the tricks that you can deploy, such as tweaking the publication date are not entirely satisfactory workarounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To display events using the event manager plugin there are now 3 solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You can add an event widget to a sidebar or the main content and tune the settings to taste – though widgets and sidebars are a bit out of fashion<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Create a separate page for all of your events (again add via a shortcode or the event block)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. And, optionally, having just activated the new plugin, ensure that the events integration option is selected in the settings<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The latter doesn’t fix the wordpress chronology problem, but helpfully integrates events and posts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
