Custom recurring events (every week except…)

[meero82]

Hello,

I was wondering if it’s possible to set a custom recurring event weekly except a specific week (opposite to the normal “every # weeks”.

I need this because I have 2 alternating events. One of them should be once every 4 weeks (which I’ve done already), and one that is every week except that week of the first event (4th week).

Any idea?

Hey @meero82,

You should indeed be able to pull something like this off with your events.

The trick is, when you’re in the Recurrence section of your events admin creation screen, set the Recurrence option to Custom instead of the simpler presets like Daily, Weekly, etc.

Once you select Custom, you can set the Frequency option to “Weekly”. Then, you’ve just got to think about things numerically – for example, to have one event recur every other week, you’d basically set the Frequency to “Weekly”, but every 2 weeks.

Here’s a screenshot of the settings I used to make an event that will recur on Monday and Tuesday every other week → https://cloudup.com/cb4UD5zjXAH

Play around with this stuff and let us know if this helps! One last resource for now that should be extremely helpful is this Knowledgebase article on event recurrence in PRO → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/

Definitely give that article a good read-through, it’s very helpful and covers all the little details in pretty good depth (but still readable and straightforward :)).

Cheers!
George
