Recurring Event Limit

[cohokc]

We are trying to convert our calendar from Google Calendar to Calendar Events Pro. When we try to add our Sunday Worship Service and other recurring weekly events to the calendar, we receive the error message “Your recurrence pattern would create greater than 200 occurrences. Please change the pattern to have fewer recurrences.” This means that we will have to remember to go back in and re-add our service and other weekly events every 200 weeks. Are there any plans to change this so an organization can select “End Never” on a recurring event to prevent this scenario?

Hi cohokc,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in Events Calendar PRO. The reason that we have that notice in place is because that many recurring events can slow down a site. To make sure that the calendar loads quickly and fully for your users, we limit recurrence to 200.

We do not currently have plans to implement an End Never option, but if you’d like to encourage us you can vote for the topic via UserVoice. However, as noted there, adding this feature may not be possible, let along optimal, because it requires working with infinite data.

I recommend that you set your events to reoccur at the max (200) and then set a reminder via another service that will help you remember to reset the event recurrence in another 3 years or so 🙂

Best,
Leah
