Recurring Event Links broken

[Matt Overton]

We are having issues with recurring events, and the links to the event detail pages.

I have created a recurring event that goes from Sept 1, 2016 – Sept 1, 2017. Is has a weekly occurrence from M-Th.

The links to the detail pages work fine up to Nov 3, 2016. Once you click on the Nov 7, 2016 event (or any one after), I get a 404 error.

Here is a link to the page:

Is there a maximum number of events per recurrence?

Hey @overtmc,

Sorry you’re having some trouble here!

Recurring events don’t quite have a true “maximum”, but Events Calendar Pro does try to handle huge batches of recurring events with some creative scheduled event creation to try and minimize the impact of having tons of events on a site.

In other words, there is no maximum – but for recurring events with too many instances, Events Calendar Pro constrains them to only create instances within a configured time based on the current date. Then, a daily cron job is used to to add/remove instances on a rolling basis.

So what this all means is that, as time goes on, the events for Nov 7 2016 and after will be added in batches as the current date gets closer to those events.

Does this information help? If you have any other followup questions, let me know – and I’m curious, if you do post for some followup support, would you be able to take a screenshot of your recurring event details in your admin and post that screenshot here? (you can just share a link to the image on Imgur.com or Flickr.com, for example).

Thank you!
George
