Thanks @msykes

Can you please tell me whether ‘New Posts’ in Settings > Formatting > RSS settings is my custom setting or a generic Events Manager setting?

Also – I have narrowed down the offending code to the following snippet in my functions.php file. If you have any suggestions for solving this issue (and I don’t expect you to spend time coding) I would really appreciate it:

add_filter( ’em_events_build_sql_conditions’, ‘my_em_scope_conditions’,1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args){
if( !empty($args[‘scope’]) && $args[‘scope’]==’newposts’ ){
$start_date = date(‘Y-m-d H:i:s’,strtotime(“-3 days”, current_time(‘timestamp’)));
$conditions[‘scope’] = ” ( event_date_modified >= ‘$start_date’) OR ( event_date_created >= ‘$start_date’)”;
}
return $conditions;
}

Thanks so much @msykes

I removed the functions.php file competely (which did nothing) but then cleared the cache – and the feeds worked (sort of)! The “wellington” RSS feed pulled every post from the wellington category all the way back to 2014 when the site began. The “online” RSS feed appeared to pull every post from when the “online” category began in October.

Do you have any suggestions for tweaking the following code in the functions.php file so that only posts entered or modified in the last 3 days are pulled up in the two RSS feeds – while keeping only that category’s events in the appropriate feed?

<?php

add_filter( 'em_events_build_sql_conditions', 'my_em_scope_conditions',1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args){
        if( !empty($args['scope']) && $args['scope']=='newposts' ){
                $start_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("-3 days", current_time('timestamp')));
                $conditions['scope'] = " ( event_date_modified >= '$start_date') OR ( event_date_created >= '$start_date')";
        }
        return $conditions;
}


add_filter( 'em_get_scopes','my_em_scopes',1,1);
function my_em_scopes($scopes){
$my_scopes = array(
'newposts' => 'New Posts'
);
return $scopes + $my_scopes;
}

add_action('em_event_output_show_condition', 'my_em_new_event_output_show_condition', 1, 4);
function my_em_new_event_output_show_condition($show, $condition, $full_match, $EM_Event){
    if( "is_newpost" == $condition ){
        $postdate = get_post_datetime($EM_Event->post_id)->format('Y-m-d');
        $threedaysago = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-3 days', current_time('timestamp')));
        $show = strtotime($postdate) >= strtotime($threedaysago) ? true : false;
    }
    return $show;
}

/**
* Custom post type for Subscribe2
*/
function custom_s2_post_types($types) {
$types[] = 'event';
return $types;
}
add_filter('s2_post_types', 'custom_s2_post_types');

add_filter('s2_post_types','my_post_types');
function my_taxonomy_types($taxonomies) {
$taxonomies[] = 'event-categories';
return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('s2_taxonomies','my_taxonomy_types');

Thanks @joneiseman

Could it be because I have custom code in the feed-rss2 file, for example:

do_action('rss2_head'); ?>
	<?php if('event' == get_post_type() ): ?>
	<?php
		$description_format = str_replace ( ">", ">", str_replace ( "<", "<", get_option ( 'dbem_rss_description_format' ) ) );
		$category = get_the_terms( get_the_id(), 'event-categories' ); //////find custom taxonomy category name
		foreach ( $category as $cat){
			$evcat = $cat->term_id;
		}

		$EM_Events = EM_Events::get( array('scope'=>'month', 'owner'=>false, 'category'=> $evcat) ); // this line pulls in JUST the specified category... and the SCOPE nextfortnight is my own custom scope, replace it with yours or a default I replaced with month/

		foreach ( $EM_Events as $EM_Event ) {

			$description = $EM_Event->output( get_option ( 'dbem_rss_description_format' ), "rss");
			$description = ent2ncr(convert_chars(strip_tags($description))); //Some RSS filtering
			$event_url = $EM_Event->output('#_EVENTURL');
			?>
			<item>
				<title><?php echo $EM_Event->output( get_option('dbem_rss_title_format'), "rss" ); ?></title>
				<link><?php echo $event_url; ?></link>
				<guid><?php echo $event_url; ?></guid>
				<description><?php echo $description; ?></description>
			</item>
			<?php
		}
		?>

	<?php else : ?>

		<?php while( have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>c

Thanks for that – unfortunately this still pulls all the events into the RSS feed, not just the online category events.

I’ve tried playing with the URL and it still doesn’t work.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Confirmed that it is working thank you so much! Is there a way to add posts that are modified in the past 3 days as well as those that have been created?

Thanks for providing this code snippet. I have tried using the code but it does not bring up the *NEW* label before the text for events created within the last three days.

Apologies, this is a conditional placeholder not custom shortcode. Any chance that it will be fixed in the next update for Events Manager?
