Dez_Smith Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Site URL: http://louthriverheadtheatre.com Hi all. On my site: https://www.louthriverheadtheatre.com/events Past events are still showing for 24-48 hours after expiring. The button for 'show past events' is turned off on the event list settings. This happens on two different event lists I have on the site. Any idea what is causing this? I thought at first it might be browser cache, but trying in different browsers, private browsing windows and the old event still shows for a period after it's expired. If I go into Squarespace settings, the expired event does correctly show as a 'past event', so I don't understand why it's still showing on the front end. Would appreciate any input please.

tuanphan Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I will try checking again in Saturday, 14 Sep A few weeks ago a member contacted me with the same issue, and it seems to be a time zone difference.

Dez_Smith Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 Thanks Tuanphan... really appreciate it. I've added another events list to test on there - events every hour today. https://www.louthriverheadtheatre.com/squarespace-test So far it seems to have removed OK, but I'll keep checking.

All those events on that list have now expired.... so it is working on that list! Just appears to be not working on the other event list, which makes me wonder if it's a conflict with some of the code injection I have on https://www.louthriverheadtheatre.com/events Link to comment

It's sometime later on your site, so I don't see any expired events. Edited September 15 by paul2009 Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.

Dez_Smith Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Hi Paul It has since gone from the events list - I just can't understand why it doesn't go as soon as the event finishes, and there doesn't seem to be a pattern for how long it stays on the events list after the event has expired.

I used an event that finished at 1610 today. At 1609 it was still in the 'Upcoming Events' list: At 1611, it was in the 'Past Events' list: This was reflected on the live page for visitors too. Are you currently in the UK and is your site also configured for UK time? Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017. I value honesty, transparency, diversity and good design ♥.

Hi, yep in the UK and regional settings appear OK (screenshot below) I've set the most recent event so it finishes at 16:50 today... lets see what it does 🙂 Link to comment

Solution Dez_Smith Posted September 19 Author Solution Share Posted September 19 Just updating this in case anyone stumbles across this thread with the same issue. Support have told me that: "Your site is being affected by an issue on our end where past events are sporadically displaying as Upcoming Events." For now, the workaround for this issue is to temporarily toggle on and off the 'Show past events' tweak to reset it. Currently there is no exact timeframe for a resolution... but if I notice it's fixed I'll report back here. paul2009 1 Link to comment
