Ok, I figured out a way to make it work, but I’m still running into one more issue.
I reset the search form to use display results as a post type archive.
I then created a separate page template that just displays upcoming productions, and am using the archives-productions.php template to display past productions, instead of the other way around.
The filter UI is showing now and the filter works. However, I only want to display past productions, and then filter through those using the plugin.
I tried using the edit query arguments filter, but I can’t seem to get it to work.
Here’s what I added to my functions.php file:
//Modify query args for filter UI on Productions archive template
function filter_function_name( $query_args, $sfid ) {
//if search form ID = 6128, the do something with this query
if($sfid==6128)
{
//Today's date
$today = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$args = array(
'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => 'event_date',
'value' => $today,
'compare' => '<=',
),
)
);
}
return $query_args;
}
add_filter( 'sf_edit_query_args', 'filter_function_name', 20, 2 );
