Opening hours for venue (art gallery for example)

[Robert]

I am running a blog tallinn.gallery – selected exhibitions in Tallinn.

To manage exhibitions in town I would like use some sort of event calendar. The Event Calendar looks more-or-less suitable but for some reason venues do not have opening hours data. Is there any way to get this functionality to exclude event from days when the gallery is actually closed? I really do not want to add days manually.

For example there is an exhibition between dates August 12 – October 22 but the gallery opening hours and days are Wed-Sun 11.00-18.00. So it would be great not to have this event on Mondays and Tuesdays. Is it possible?

Hi Robert,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

You are correct that there is not currently any opening hours functionality associated with venues, but I think the recurring events feature that comes with Events Calendar Pro may do what you are looking for here. You could create an event for the exhibition and then set it to recur Wed-Sun from 11:00-18:00. I took a screenshot of the event edit screen so that you can get an idea of how this would be set up. You could set the applicable venue for the event, and this way, you would be able to display the correct hours for multiple events at a particular venue, even if their times are different from the venue’s regular opening hours.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to test out Pro and see if it will work for you! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jennifer

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.
