Multiple Day Events Span Calendar Cells

[SI Support]

In month view, if a calendar event spans multiple days it appears to clone the event across those multiple days. Is there a way to enable the event to simply be listed once and span the multiple days (similar to how a Google Calendar works for multiple days)? Thanks.

Hi there, SI Support!

Good question. Right now, events that span multiple days will indeed appear on each individual day rather than visually spanning those days. We’ve actually seen this idea come into our feature request forum, but it looks like it could use some more votes and it would be great if you added to it. 🙂

In the meantime, I’m afraid spanning multiple days visually is unavailable right out of the box. Sorry about that!

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know.

Cheers!

The preschool where I serve as a Foster Grandparent participates in swimming lessons Mondays-Fridays, July 13-23. If I schedule this as a single event, the calendar also shows the lessons occurring on Saturday and Sunday. How do I filter out the days when lessons are not happening? Currently I have to list the lessons as “Swimming Lessons, Week 1” and “Swimming Lessons, Week 2.” This makes the calendar very cluttered.

Please help.

Hi Rocky Allen,

I would suggest looking into the custom recurring event patterns that are included in The Events Calendar PRO. For example, if your event is never on the weekends, create a pattern that excludes them and recurs weekly.

Since Si Support originally opened this thread and it pertains to a different topic, it would be great if you opened a new thread if you still have any other questions here about using recurring event patterns. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
