Setup Options for the Talks & Presentations page
All of the code for producing the Topic Grid is in the DPL child theme.
The DPL Child theme is a folder in the themes folder in wp-content.
The code necessary to produce the Speaking Events page is all in this child-theme folder.
The notes folder contains the source material for this Setup page.

}, 2000);- in speaking-events-template.php
- it was at line 52-57, below the filters
- I moved it to line 9-12, above the filters
- in speaking-events-shortcode.php
- at line 50
- change ‘DESC’ to ‘ASC’

- Note the comments on sort order…
- // For upcoming events, sort ascending (nearest future date first)
- // For past events, sort descending (most recent past date first)
- // For all events, sort descending (newest first)
- I wouldn’t even know how to change this. Maybe have a coder look at it.
The following are all of the places where the code needs to changed if the default view of All Events needs to be changed to Upcoming Events.
