Past events an IG page is not up-to-date

I am seeing an issue on both my Instagram page and past events page where the only most recent past event is from December 31, 2022.

I’ve had more events since then, but they are not displaying at all.

FYI, these particular pages is set up as a “blog”. This kind of page was recommended. I believe from this community for past events and my Instagram page. Please advise if this is not correct or any adjustments I need to make to fix the past events and Instagram page.

thanks

@TaysttheNotes Can you share a link to the page where you've got the events display issue?

I found your site and understand you've set up your Instagram posts using a blog - was there a particular reason for that? There is an Instagram block you can add to a regular page and connect - it'll then automatically show your new posts as you upload them to instagram (though there are occasionally glitches where this stops working and has to be reset).

Here is that page link:

I’m not sure you can actually tell any issues from viewing the page but the fact that it is showing a previous event from over seven months ago is the issue.

@TaysttheNotes The past events page as you've got it set up will only show additional events if you add them as a blog post to that section. Where have you added the events on your site since Dec?

Hi Cass,

Apologies for the late response as I was on tour until Monday.

The "added events since Dec" were/are all in my "Upcoming Events" page (https://taystthenotes.com/upcoming-events)

...and as they come to pass, I'd like them to automatically appear in the "Past Events" page (https://taystthenotes.com/past-events) even if there are a finite amount of events that show there.

Is there a way to resurrect now passed events to the Past Events page? 

Here is a screenshot of the various types of pages I have thus far utilized. What would need to change to get the behavior I seek for "Upcoming Events" and "Past Events"?

Thank you,
Jeff

<re-request for an answer with this please>

@TaysttheNotes Sorry I didn't see your post as I wasn't tagged.

As you've got it set up currently, there's no automatic way to get the events from the Upcoming Events page (which is one type of collection page) to your Past Events page (which is a blog page). After each event you'd need to manually create a blog post in Past Events with the info you'd like to appear there.

Here's a Squarespace help article on using the Events page:

https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206543837-Events-pages

And I've found this forum post that might help?

Cass,

Thanks. What if I set up the 'past events' page as the same type of collection page as the 'upcoming events' page?

To look at it another way, how did I get all those previous future events (up to Dec 31st 2022) to automatically show up in the 'past events' page (then stop doing that behavior)?

So, reading the article you posted, it states (version 7.0): In the Events section, check or uncheck Show past events....but where is the events section in the Styles panel?

Navigating back to my Future Events page, I see I can check "Show Past Events" however I don't see any save option (see screenshot)

Reading further, I see that past events page supports up to '30 past events' (which is fine) but mine stopped last year. Can you tell if the page type was changed at some point? I had a past editor working this page, fyi but wish to have the future events go the past events page automatically as the date passes.

Finally, there are 2 versions of Squarespace? 7.1 vs 7.0

Can I not get the latest version?

Jeff

@TaysttheNotes I'm not sure how they would have automatically been added to the Past Events page.

I've just tested on a demo site (7.1) and if checking 'display past events' it adds them to the bottom of the events page (which in your case is called Upcoming Events). It doesn't give it a separate page that you can link to just for the past events.

I think I'll have to defer to someone with more experience in this feature!
