Changing Reoccuring event end date

[Mel]

Hi Support,

Enjoy the plugin and the support….

I have created 5 or 6 recurring events for a few months in future. My question is how can I edit the series and change the end date for all the events? If I select a single event it will pull that single event out of the series? If I edit the series it does not show the end date to change?

Also why are there so many events? For each recurring event it creates hundreds of additional events all the same
with only the date changing and fills up the database with redundant data? This makes it hard to edit events when u have pages of events that all look the same?

Hope this makes sense I am somewhat new to TEC…

Thanks
Mel

Hi, Mel. Glad to have you around!

Please go to wp-admin > Events > Settings > General:

• The Create recurring events in advance for option tells it how far in advance to create… so an event recurring monthly will create 24 instances by default.
• The Clean up recurring events after option tells it how far back in the past to cleanup.

If you have an event that recurs daily and you have the Create recurring events in advance for option set to 24 months, that’s approximately 365 x 2 = 730 instances of that one event.

Does this help you better understand what is happening on your site?
