Multiple Dates on a Single Event

[Keith]

Hi there, I see you have recurring dates but are you guys planning on having the ability to add random dates to a single event?

Hi there Keith,

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

are you guys planning on having the ability to add random dates to a single event?

I don’t think this is a planned feature. For now all events need to have a start and end date set (it can be a multi-day event). If Events Calendar PRO is activated in the site then you’ll be able to create recurring events following patterns or ‘random dates’ as you mention.

Can you describe a bit why you need this feature? Maybe there’s a way of settings things up that work for you!

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico

Thank you for the quick response. Basically, I’m looking to add multiple dates to a single event, but not in a row. For example, let’s say I have an event on Nov. 1st and another one on Nov. 5th – I’d like both to show in the single event view (without having to duplicate the post). Is that possible or will be possible?

Thanks for clarifying Keith 🙂

Sure, yes! We do have a ‘Date’ option for recurring events which let’s you crate an instance of the event in whatever date you indicate. Unfortunately this option still doesn’t allow you to define a different time in which the events will take place and will use the one defined for the main event. We are looking forward to add the possibility to change the time in which the instance of the event is running, but it’s still not baked in yet.

Best,
Nico

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!
