Posting a multi-day event with specific times each day without using recurring

[CTC]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this plugin. It’s very helpful.

The issue I’m having is creating events that occur on multiple days at the same time, i.e., Mon-Fri, 1-5pm. As it is, I am only able to create an event that starts on one day at a certain time, and runs until another time. Example: Monday, 4/18 @ 1pm – Friday, 4/22 @ 5pm.

How can I set up an event to run for a number of days but be at the same time?

Thank you,
Ben

Howdy Ben,

I would love to help you with this. This is not actually possible without using recurring events. In fact, recurring events were designed for exactly this scenario, hence why its not possible without them.

I see you don’t own Events Calendar Pro, that’s probably why you were hoping to do it without recurring events. Do any other features from Pro interest you, or this literally the only thing you wish you had?

Recurring Events would be the main thing I would need in Pro. But this would only be useful for me if I could use Recurring Events to schedule one event that takes place at the same time on consecutive days. For example, Event #1, Monday-Friday, 1-5pm; or on consecutive days with different times, such as Mon-Thurs 1-5, Friday 8-4.

Can Recurring Events do this?

Also, assuming that the above examples can be created as single events, can I then sell tickets through Events Tickets Plus to these events?

Thank you,

Howdy again Ben,

But this would only be useful for me if I could use Recurring Events to schedule one event that takes place at the same time on consecutive days. For example, Event #1, Monday-Friday, 1-5pm; or on consecutive days with different times, such as Mon-Thurs 1-5, Friday 8-4.

Recurring events can definitely do that. If you event conform to a pattern, like M-F at the same time then you can easily setup a pattern. If they do not have as much of a pattern, like Friday is on a different time, then you can add an individual recurrence on a time/date of your choosing.

Also, assuming that the above examples can be created as single events, can I then sell tickets through Events Tickets Plus to these events?

The only caveat to the above is that it will be treated as a single event when it comes to tickets. This means it is ideally suited forthings like courses, where you purchase one pass/ticket that gives you access to all days. However if you were hoping to have individual tickets for each day, where if a user wanted to attend 3 different days they would need to purchase 3 different tickets, then Recurring Events are not yet suited for your needs. We’re working on that ability, but it’s not yet ready.

Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
