Hi there, Shelby! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂
Yes, you can head over to Events > Settings and check the box for “Recurring event instances” under General Settings, then save your changes. That will limit the recurring events to just display the first instance of a series.
I do wan to note that this will only affect the List Views (which includes Photo View). All recurring instances will display in the Month View.
Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
