Hi @melissaspiegel,
Thanks for the post.
I believe you will need to add the meta_query for the ‘is_event’ custom field and comment out the meta_query that you have.
Your code should ultimately look like so:
<?php
$events = array (
‘tag_name’ => ‘oldevents’,
‘posts_per_page’ => ‘9’,
‘post__not_in’ => get_option(‘sticky_posts’),
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’,
'meta_key' => 'event_date',
'order' => 'ASC',
);
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query($events);
?>
