Good evening Robb and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.
I want to have the facility to have a weekly event for the same time, amount and location. I cannot see the place to repeat this event. Should have bought the events calendar instead?
You did the right thing by purchasing the Events Calendar Pro. The ability to repeat events is exclusive to the Events Calendar Pro.
What might be going on is that you did not complete the installation. I would recommend going through the procedure found here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/new-user-primer-the-events-calendar-and-events-calendar-pro/
To summarize, you need to first install the Events Calendar AND install the Events Calendar Pro (separate plugin) to be able to see the “Repeat events” functionality.
Let me know how that goes.
Best regards,
Geoff B.
