One event, multiple start times

[Olli]

Hi,
Is it possible to create (with PRO version) a single event having multiple start times that are not necessarily cyclic? For example an event with following start times:
Nov 05 (Sat), 10:00
Nov 12 (Sat), 10:00
Nov 20 (Sun), 12:00
Dec 03 (Sat), 10:00

BR,
Olli

Hi Olli,

Absolutely! Events Calendar PRO has a feature we call recurring events where you create one event that repeats as often as you’d like and the settings for recurring events allow you to specify a different start date for each recurring instance.

Here is a complete guide on how recurring events works, including a step-by-step overview of the settings:

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

Cheers!

Thanks Geoff!
I bought a license and figured out how to add random date with “Date” recurrence rule. With that rule it seems always to be same start time . With “Custom” rule you can set start time, but not first date when this rule is applied. I just try to figure out, how could I add random start date with start time, which is not equal to basic start time of the event? Is it possible?

Cheers,
Olli

Hi Olli,

Thanks for purchasing Events Calendar PRO! That’s awesome.

I think you just found a limitation in how custom recurring events work because you’re absolutely right: you can set a custom start time but not a custom start date if you use the Custom recurrence option, and you can set a custom start but not a custom start time if you use the Date recurrence option.

I’m so sorry I misled you on that. I totally understand if that’s a deal-breaker and would be happy to refund your purchase if you would prefer to not use the plugin because if that. Let me know and I can process that for you.

Thanis,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
That’s unfortunately deal breaker, because we really need flexible dates and times. We do not actully need that much sophisticated rules – simple list of start dates/times would do the job. So, let’s proceed with the refund then.

Thank you for your quick response!

Totally understandable, Ollie!

I’ve gone gone ahead and submitted a refund for your order and you should see the funds back in your account in the next 5-10 business days.

Thanks so much for giving the plugin a try and I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I do hope you’ll keep us in mind for other projects in the future. 🙂

Cheers and have a great weekend!
Geoff
