title: Eventon WordPress Plugin
body: <p>I'm working with eventon plugin and at one place I need to show the featured or upcoming event, I couldn't find a short-code for that so, I used a custom query to retrieve all the information, so far so good, it's working. </p>
  
  <p>THE CATCH is, I need to get start date of an event but I'm getting the published date. I can't find it in the wp_postmeta table either, I've triple checked. </p>
  
  <p>Here's the Query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * 
  FROM wp_posts AS post
  INNER JOIN wp_postmeta AS meta ON post.ID = meta.post_id
  WHERE post.post_type =  'ajde_events'
  AND meta.meta_key =  '_featured'
  AND meta.meta_value =  'yes'
  AND post.post_status =  'publish'
  </code></pre>

  <p>9th feb is the publish date, where as I need the event date, which is 24th-feb. Again, I've checked multiple times, and I can't find the start date meta-field or column in the database.</p>
