Howdy Doris,
Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us.
One way of achieving what you are needing is to create the recurrence series and then delete the individual events that are actually not taking place. Take a look at this sample: https://cloudup.com/c2406cBw-iH.
‘Custom recurrence’ is a new feature that allows you to create more complex recurring patterns for events. It will be included in the next release -coming out approximately in three weeks time. Maybe that helps you create events the way you intend to.
That being said, if you think our product is not what you where looking for you can always ask for a full refund by emailing support /at/ theeventscalendar /dot/ com within 30 days of your purchase. Naturally, we’d hate to lose your business but totally understand and we’d never want to lock you into something that doesn’t meet your expectations.
Please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with,
Best,
Nico
