As I can see your page is perfect now.

I tried your code, but I can only get all the events on one page. No reverse pagination, No separation between past and upcoming events. Can you please tell me did you made any changes in the code that you have sent here, or maybe some other things you did to do it the way to shows now?

Thank you in advance!

hi @aradzhioni - I'm sorry, but I don't work at BlockApps anymore and no longer have access to the wordpress 😞

Good luck with it!
