Numbering Repeating Events

[Travis Sluss]

Cheers,
I have looked through the forums and haven’t found any information on numbering repeating events, having the repeating events show if it’s the first of the group or the second and so on.
Most of our events repeat once a week for five weeks. Looking at the calendar it can be hard to know when they start. It would be nice to have a feature to number the repeating events, like 1 of 5, 2 of 5 and so on. Is this possible? I have some coding knowledge/I would be willing to pay for this feature.
Best,
Travis

Hi Travis.

Thanks for your interest in our PRO add-on.

The way our recurring events work is to duplicate a single post however many times is necessary — and assign these duplicates as children to the initial post. In other words, it uses the WordPress post parent functionality.

I would definitely say this is doable via custom coding, getting all of the parent event’s children and sorting them by Start Date and then displaying their index number alongside their Event Title.

We cannot provide such in-depth customization help, per our Scope of Support / Terms.

If there’s a code snippet you’d like me to put some eyes on or something else I can help you with, please update this ticket or create a new ticket if it’s a separate issue.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

If you need some coding help, you may want to ask your developer or reference our documentation and list of known customizers.

Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.s

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!
