Clicking on a repeating event takes you to a different event in the series

[Glenn]

Hello,

I have an event that repeats every Monday. During the week before they finalise the line-up and I break it from the series and update the featured image.

I notice that the next event is showing as 27/4/15 (Aust date format – You Americans need to assimilate!) 😉 But when I click on it I am presented with 18/05/15.

Thoughts?

Glenn.

Hey Glenn,

Sorry for the trouble you’ve run into here. For one thing, we’ve made sure our plugin supports a whole bevy of date formats! 🙂 Head to Events > Settings > Display and then modify any of the datepicker formats you’d like, you should be able to find and use a useful/satisfying format.

As for your recurrence issues, I’m curious if you’re able to reproduce this behavior with another series of events? If this is too much of a pain on your live site, no worries, but if possible, you should try creating just a sample “test” event series – you can use a similar recurrence pattern or a totally different one as your problematic one here, but it doesn’t really matter. Whatever recurrence you set up, just try navigating through events in a similar way to how you’re navigating through the series you mention here, and see if you run into similar date errors with it too.

The second and final question I have is if you only notice this problematic behavior with events that you break out of the series – or do you notice it with any event in this series regardless of it being broken out or not?

Let me know if what I’ve described here makes sense – and, if you can make some test events and investigate this behavior a bit, let us know what you find!

Thanks,
George
