Getting list of all other recurring events of a single event

[Joni]

I’m trying to show list of recurring events inside page of single event. It would list the starting times and titles of other recurring events of that event, past and upcoming. Is this possible with tribe_get_events() or do i have to build my own wpquery?

I’d recommend using tribe_get_events() here – ultimately that is a wrapper around get_posts() which in turn is a wrapper around WP_Query – as if you use WP_Query directly various adaptations needed to efficiently drill through the events will not be in place, nor will event-specific arguments have any effect.

I have tried the listing with get_tribe_events() but i cannot get it to limit the events just for the recurring events. It just shows list of every event that has been added. I tried querying with slug name but this did not seem to work.

So one possible solution could be to leverage a meta query (you will probably be interested in testing against the _EventRecurrence meta key if so) or, alternatively and perhaps less efficiently, you could iterate through your result set and determine which events are recurring from there.
