How to create an event for a class that meets once a week and one full Saturday

[Nermin]

Hi There,

I have just purchased Events Calendar Pro and now wondering if it was the right add on.

I have a training event that meets every Tuesday 4pm to 7pm for 10 weeks and one Saturday 10am to 5pm. The price is $780.

When I set it as recurring, I have 10 different events and they all say $780 which is very confusing – because that is the total cost. I can set the cost for week – but that it is confusing – because this is a class, and they have to pay the full price and come to every session.

plus there is no option for me to enter additional Saturday meeting.

Is there any way to create only one event and for dates it displays every Tuesdays these days and one full day on Saturday.

I have seen many support forums relevant to this – but no solution.

Thank you.

Hi Nermin. Thanks for your question.

If I understood it correctly, you’re having something like “Humanities Class” from 7am-10am every Monday for the next 5 Mondays. If you wanted to create this event once and have the recurrence events created for you, that’s one of the things our Pro add-on does.

However, only our Event Tickets Plus add-on enables selling tickets. At this time, it doesn’t support tickets for recurring events. In other words, if you assign a ticket (e.g. $780 Humanities Class and $390 Audit Humanities Class tickets) to a recurring event (e.g. Humanities Class event for next 5 Mondays), the ticket would be a one-time $780 and not $780 per week — which sounds like what you want. But I know ET+ will eventually get an update to support recurring events as I described many users are wanting it to. As such, be aware of future updates to ET+ if you do decide to buy it and use it in its current functionality.

If you’re asking about Pro’s recurring logic — wanting to add specific dates to a recurrence series — that’s currently unavailable but is on our to-do list. I cannot guarantee any release date and therefore cannot provide you with a time estimate on such functionality.

Please let me know if there’s anything more I can help with.

Thank you,

I have an additional question to clarify:

Can I set the date for an event every Monday let’s say for 10 Mondays 4 to 7pm, and not have additional events created?

or let’s say the workshop is Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday – is there a way to set up exact times for the event?

Is this what you also meant by Pro’s recurring logic – if yes, I understand it is not available. Do you know if there is an additional plugin or code I can add to allow for this kind of flexibility. We rarely have only one day events. They are often a few days long workshop or once a week training formats.

This is a crucial feature needed for our event calendar, so I would like to figure out how to set it up.

Thank you.

Looking at your account, you do have the Pro add-on so you can do the recurring events functionality.

If I understand your question correctly, you’re wanting to pull something like this off: a “single event” that is Fri 8-5, Sat 10-5, and Sun 12-5 — and you want that “single group of 3 events” to recur for 5 weeks.

If that’s correct, no, you cannot do that as a single recurrence pattern.

Please let me know if I missed anything or if you have any follow-up questions.

Thanks!
