I’m working with a fitness center that has multiple recurring events (which works awesome, by the way). They asked if we can assign a date (Dec 25th, as example) to over-ride the other events and not show those events on the calendar since they are closed that day. We would also use if for Easter, etc.
Hello hrec2013,
I might be missing something here, but couldn’t you just delete the instance of the recurring event that falls on the holiday? Then you could add the holiday as an event and have that be the only thing displayed that day. You could even consider adding colors for the holidays using a trusted plugin, but that’s not from Modern Tribe, called The Events Calendar Category Colors (http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-category-colors/).
If I’m completely off-base, let me know.

The problem they are having is a weekly event that runs … let’s say … August to February every Thursday. Let’s say Christmas is Thursday. I know they can end the recurring event the week before Christmas and then re-enter it to start a week after Christmas. However, if they have 40 events recurring on Thursdays (classes, etc) … it can be time consuming to end and then restart. I didn’t see a way to “declare” an event as the only event to show that day unless you deleted all the other events on that day. Did I miss something in the instructions?
Hi hrec2013,
When I gave this a try on my local install it worked to set the recurrence from Aug – Feb and then go to the event that fell on the holiday and set it back to draft mode. It will ask if you want to do that for just the one event or for the whole series, so you are able to eliminate that one session from the front end of the calendar.
Does that do the trick for you?

I will try it. It is just time consuming when there are 40 events on the same day (in this case). I’ll have to do it 40 times. I think it would be a great feature to allow a “priority” or something to an event so it can block out other events on one day. Thanks for your help.
That’s an interesting idea actually. Perhaps being able to set an event as a “holiday” that would turn off the other events that day. Would you be willing to add that to our Feature Ideas page? (https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas)
