Programmatically tell if an event is part of a series of recurring events

[substance]

Hi,

For various reasons, I need to be able to tell if an event (either single or listed) is part of a set of recurring events, either via some conditional tag like tribe_is_recurrence or similar. Is this possible?

Additionally, is there a way to find the post ID of the “master” event of a recurrence? I’ve noticed that when viewing the Edit admin of All Events, There’s a quick link to “Edit All” that seems to have that ID. How can I access that ID on the front end?

Thanks!

Hi @substance,

Thanks for reaching out on this, I’ll try to help you here!

To check if an event is recurring you can use the function tribe_is_recurring_event, you can pass the event id to the function otherwise it will try to use the global current event ID (present in loops). And to get the ‘main event’ you can check the post_parent propoerty of the post(event) object.

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico
