Filter events by Recurring or Single event

[Zack]

Hello, I have a client that is currently using the Event Calendar Pro and the client has several recurring events that are just taking up too much real estate from the singular events. We’re looking to add the Filter plugin but wondering if it’s possible to filter Recurring from Singular events using this plugin?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Zack.

When you create a recurring event series, the wp-admin post you initially do that at is stored as a regular WordPress post of the tribe_events post type, just like all other events, including non-recurring events.

Our plugin then generates a new post for each occurrence (with that series post as the WordPress parent post).

If you click to break a single occurrence from the series, it is no longer a child to that parent/series and if the series post gets updated, it won’t update this single occurrence that was removed from the series.

So, with all that background information, we do have a code snippet to hide each occurrence (i.e. only display the series/parent posts) in the wp-admin list of Events: Hide recurring event instances in the admin

If you don’t want to actually hide them (i.e. have more user control), you could allow the user to filter them in wp-admin by using our Advanced Post Manager plugin.

Please let me know if this satisfies your request.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
