Modify recurring events

[dsb cloud services GmbH & Co. KG]

Hello,

I have an recurring event, which already startet in the past.
The Events which are in the past, are in the bin.
Now I want to modify the whole series of event, but I get the error, that the parents event is in the bin.
Is there a other way then restoring the parent event, to modify the serie?
Because we have a dailysbased script, which moves every elapsed event in the bin.

Greetings

Hi, Patrick.

Here’s how our recurring events logic currently works:

• When you create a new event (say Post ID 100) and set it to be a recurring event (weekly for 4 weeks), it’ll create Post IDs 101, 102, and 103 as new/separate posts with Post ID 100 as the post_parent
• If you delete Post ID 100 via wp-admin, it’ll delete the entire series (100-103) because you’re deleting the parent post (the recurrence series)
• Or you could instead break Post ID 101 from the series; then it’d be a standalone event (basically Post ID 100 is no longer its post_parent)

Maybe you deleted the parent post / recurrence series (e.g. Post ID 100)?

Please let me know if this clarifies things for you.

Hi Cliff,

thanks, that help a lot to understand how the events work. Maybe now I can get up with a solution.
The point is, I don’t use the delete button in wp-admin, to get the single events in the trash I use a mysql script.
