How does recurring event clean-up work exactly?

[Figoli Quinn]

If I understand recurring events correctly, the “tribe-events” custom post type is hierarchical and the first event is a created as a parent post and subsequent auto-magically created events are child posts of that parent, right?

If you set the “clean-up” feature to delete old recurring events, does the parent post always remain, even as expired child posts get deleted?

I have a situation where I’m using data from the original parent posts in a related but different use than the regular events calendar/listing — on another page with a custom query. I will need that data long after the original had expired, and want to make sure it’s not going to go away.

Hey Robert,

Apologies for the delayed response here!

Yes, your understanding is spot-on here and describes things precisely: only “child” posts are deleted in the cleaning process, the “parent” event is preserved.

I hope this helps!
