First upcoming instance

[jonschr]

Show only the first upcoming instance of recurring events seems to be showing the wrong instance of an event in a number of cases.

You can see an example of this right here:
http://parenting.redblue.us/events/

Look at “An event starting Oct. 1” and you’ll note that if the checkbox for showing only the next event in the series is clicked, then the Oct. 15 event shows. It should be showing Oct. 1, since that’s the next upcoming event in the series.

The theme active on the site is twenty-twelve, and all plugins except for The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO are deactivated.

Hello jonschr,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I took a loot at your site and noticed the issue that you’ve mentioned. I attempted to recreate the problem but was unable to do so on my local machine. Would you mind sending me an export of the events for your site so I can test with the same data you’re using?

Thanks!

Hello jonschr,

Thanks for following up with us and sending the XML file!

I just tried importing the XML file and ran into issues with the Recurring events not importing properly. This is something I’ll need to investigate further on our side.

In the meantime, could you send me a screenshot of the settings for this section on your recurring event with the display issue?

Thanks!

Sure, here you go! (This is for the weekly series starting Oct. 1).

One other note that I should give you. We’d had a specific plugin, the Post Type Order plugin, installed for use on another post type. I don’t think that at any point it was used on any events, but I have wondered if that may have somehow screwed up the order – being inactive, though, I’m not sure how it could still be having an impact, but that’s another thing that might be worth looking at.

Hello jonschr,

Thanks for following up with us and providing that screenshot!

I tried with the same settings and still wasn’t able to recreate.

It’s possible the Post Type Order plugin could have caused an issue. The best thing to do may be to delete this event and recreate it to see if the problem persists.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Hey jonschr,

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from you on this thread.

I’ll go ahead and close this thread for now. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to open a new one.

Thanks!
