Can not edit details of recurring events

[Glenn]

When I change the body of text it saves and asks to update all events and then nothing changes. If I change the text again it appears to save it but does not ask to update all events. Each time I do this when in “Edit Menus” it adds a duplicate event item under Events, however there is no duplicate under “All Events” where I edited it.
I am using Twenty Thirteen V.1 theme. Not sure what you mean about reverting back to 2011 default.

Solved.

Hi Glenn – can you provide any more detail? Is this in relation to recurring events? If so, we sometimes talk of a “chain” of events. Please bear in mind that if you have a recurring event taking place on the following dates:

* October 23
* October 30
* November 6
* November 13

And you then edit the November 6 instance and select Apply to All it will actually break the above in to two separate chains:

* October 23
* October 30

The first two would be one chain and would remain unmodified, the second chain would reflect your modifications and would consist of:

* November 6
* November 13

To edit and apply the change to every event in the original chain you must edit the first event in the sequence (in my example, October 23) and then apply/update all. Since breaking the chain in two doesn’t cause the title to change the fact that this has happened may not be immediately apparent when viewing the list of events via the main admin events list.

I’m not sure if that helps/relates to what you are experiencing, but if it does not or you have further questions please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

Thanks!

By default they are sorted in descending order (future first, past at the bottom) and you can reorder them – should you prefer the opposite order – by clicking on the Start Date column header, for example.

We do welcome feature requests – but would ask that you post them on our UserVoice page so they enter the correct flow.

Thanks (and I’ll go ahead and close this thread).
