Using the following code snippet, you can modify the post query used for your grid's post source.

// code can be added to your themes functions.php file add_filter('essgrid_query_caching', 'eg_stop_caching', 10, 2); add_filter('essgrid_get_posts', 'eg_mod_query', 10, 2); // turn off caching for your grid function eg_stop_caching($do_cache, $grid_id) { if($grid_id == YOUR_GRID_ID) return false; return true; } function eg_mod_query($query, $grid_id){ if($grid_id == YOUR_GRID_ID) { //modify $query to your likings } return $query; } |
In the following example, where posts represent “events” that have a start and end date, we could use the filter to only show events from the past, or even better, only show events that are scheduled to happen in the future.
