Can I delete individual instances of a recurring event?

[Bob]

I found a thread that I thought indicated it was possible, but the only I option I found was to edit the entry and move it to the trash, but that deleted all occurrences.

Hey there Bob. Thanks for reaching out here. You can indeed delete individual entries from a recurrence pattern. One way would be to find the broader events list on the backend; hover over the event-in-question; and click the red “Trash” link. Doing so will bring up this pop-up: http://d.pr/i/v32I. So long as you select the “Delete just this occurrence” option you should be set.

Let me know if I’ve misunderstood the issue here or if you have other questions on this. Cheers!

You understood correctly, and it’s good to find that mechanism, so thanks for the reply. At this point it seems a bit convoluted and tedious to get there, but at least it works.

So I guess I’d also request a more direct path, such as bringing up that same dialog choice when you trash from the post edit itself, and even a trash button/icon from the event detail page (if you’re an editor).

Thanks.

Thanks for the follow-up, Bob. Glad to hear that did the trick. Note that you can also click the “Trash” link within a given entry (http://d.pr/i/7XZ7) to achieve the same effect. Not sure what it’d take to add a trash button to the frontend for editors but I could see the value in that too.

Thanks again for the feedback and please let me know if we can do anything else here.
