for my club's website I have a list of upcoming events. Every event is set with the date it will take place, so I'll have ordered it in archive.
I already prepared the site fo view future posts via functions.php. It correctly shows all my events in chronological order if call them in archive.php
In my homepage I'd like to show the next 3 events coming: a list of the first future event followed by the next 2 near events.
EXAMPLE in 2018 I have one event on february, one on april, one on may, one on june ond one on october.
if i visite the site today (march) I want the homepage to show the events on april, may and june
visiting the site in april I want the site to show the events on may, june and october
How can I obtain it?
