    Arne, I’m afraid I can’t offer any help. I would like to urge Events Calendar to incorporate an event-copy function, which in the past I’ve seen others request as a feature. This may be more complex for the programmers than we users realize, but it would be a yuuuuge (to paraphrase you-know-who) addition to the CEPro’s functionality.

    Good evening Arne and welcome back!

    Thank you for reaching out to us.
    I would love to help you with this topic.

    I have some good news (that goes for you too @Jim). You can do exactly what you are looking for.

    All you need to do is use a third-party plugin that allows you to clone or duplicate custom post types (in this case Events).
    One of those plugins is even specifically tailored for the Events Calendar.

    Check it out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-tec-event/

    Let me know if that helps.

    Have a great day!

    Thanks, Geoff. Backing up, holding my breath, as always with third-party plugins. The fewer of those the better, is my motto, though many are genius.

    Maybe one day copying irregular events that do repeat can be a part of the Events Calendar Pro basic features. Seems logical.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Hey Arne,

    I’m glad this was helpful to you!

    You are welcome back on our support forums any time 🙂

    For now, I am going to close this thread.

    Have a great week!

    @Jim,

    I totally understand where you are coming from. The good news is, based on the feedback I have received so far, you should be safe with this one.

    Furthermore, you are right, it would great to have this feature built-in.

    Since we receive a large number of feature requests every month, we typically try to program the most popular ones first.
    With that in mind you can vote for that very feature here: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3874714-duplicate-events

    Best regards,

    Geoff B.
