Can I create this event?

[Craig]

A query before purchase. We are a museum. An example of an event for us would be an exhibition starting on Monday 21st of March and finishing on Saturday the 16th April, but we open only on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Can we do this with Pro?

Hey Craig,

Thanks for reaching out!

Something like this indeed possible, with a bit of clever application of Events Calendar Pro’s recurrence exclusions feature.

There are a few steps to creating an event with the properties you describe:

• Set the start and end time for the event to be on the same day. So, for example, if the event is always starting at 8am and ending on 5pm, then you would make the event Start Date be March 21, 8am and its End Date be March 21, 5pm.

• Have this singular event instance recur every day until the end of the exhibition—Saturday, April 16.

• Then, set Exclusions weekly for the days that are closed: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

This configuration will generate the event sequence you need. Here is a screenshot of how this configuration looks in the “Edit Event” screen in your wp-admin:

I hope this information helps!
