function my_find_expired_events( $ids ) { | |
$args = array( | |

$expired_events = get_posts( $args ); | |
$ids = array_merge( $ids, $expired_events ); | |
$ids = array_map( 'absint', $ids ); | |
$ids = array_unique( $ids ); | |
return $ids; | |
} | |
add_filter( 'searchwp_exclude', 'my_find_expired_events' ); |
This hook is applied when searches are run, so it will automatically exclude past events based on the time the search takes place, there is no maintenance required.
