Combine event series into one event on list view?

[wealthfollowsworth]

Hello. I have 3-day conference. It takes place on March 22, 23, and 24. Each day has different times.

Is there a way to only have one “event” show when viewed in list mode?

Right now, it shows each day as its own event, and it is confusing.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us!

Yes, it’s possible to achieve what you want by enabling the “Recurring event instances” option on Events > Settings > General Settings. When enabled, only the first instance of each recurring event will be displayed in your list view calendar.

Thanks for the reply.

But then it only shows the first date and time of a multi-day event in list view.

Is there a way to get all the days of a multi-day event to show under the same single event in list view? Something like the attached screenshot….

Hi there,

Short answer is yes, it’s possible! To help you get started, the following template adds a list with all of your recurring events at the beginning of each individual event: here’s an example. To use it in your own site, please add the content of the following snippet in a file called single-event.php on /wp-content/themes/[your theme]/tribe-events/

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions at all please feel free to let me know and I’d be happy to help as best I can!

Cheers,

Patricia

Hello. I don’t have a “/tribe events” or single-event.php in my theme folder. Could it be somewhere else?

Thanks.

Hello. Just following up on this…..

Thanks.

Hi Nathan,

You’ll have to create the tribe-events folder and the single-event.php in your theme’s directory to override the default template. I’m sorry I did not mention that before!

You’ll find detailed instructions about template overrides in the following article:

Let me know if you have any other questions in the mean time 🙂

I am using the pro version. Does that change your instructions?

Thanks.

Hi Nathan,

No, it doesn’t. This customization only works with events calendar PRO (only recurring events will display the list at the top of the Single Event page).

Give it a try and let me know how it goes 😉
