multiple date events

[Iona]

hello,
my events are courses that span 5 weeks, with 6 different sessions – a mix of evenings and weekends. We currently add the full set of dates in the course description field which is fine. However, we add the start and finish date as the first and last date of the course and this means the event doesn’t disappear until the last date has passed. We need the course to disappear from the list on the start date, as it is not available to book after this. Can you please let me know how to do this?

I was interested in the custom reoccuring events option, but am I right in thinking these are also for single day events rather than mulitple day events? We would only want the first day of our course showing up in our calendar, rather than each date as a separate event.

Thanks

Hello Iona,

Thank you for posting to our Pre-Sales Questions channel. Based on what you’ve described, our Recurring Events sound perfect for you! You could create a set of 6 recurring events for each session, fitting any situation you can think of. For example: need to exclude a particular date from only one session? No problem!

I encourage you to read over our PRO Recurring Events Knowledgebase article for complete details. And if you get caught up along the way, our support team is standing by to assist.

In response to your question:

I unfortunately can’t think of a way to do this without spending more time on the matter. We try and keep our Pre-Sales Channel clear of support requests, so please head over to The Events Calendar WordPress.org support forums for assistance and answers.

Thanks for understanding and good luck resolving your issue. Have a good day!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
