Recurring Event Not Working

[Philip]

I am trying to set up an Event for the following times:

1. 27th October 2017 7:00pm – 8:00pm
2. 27th October 2017 9:00pm – 10:00pm
3. 28th October 2017 7:00pm – 8:00pm
4. 28th October 2017 9:00pm – 10:00pm

I set up the main event as per #1.

#3 is covered by the first event series – Daily every one day until 28th October 2017

#4 is covered by the second event series – Daily every one day until 28th October 2017 at a different time

Unfortunately the second event series didn’t cover #2, so I just went to add a repeat once series for 27th October 2017 at 9:00pm – however when I click Update and the edit page reloads; it says ‘One event on Invalid ate at 9:00pm’. (Note the date format is also changed in the box).

There is an event created however; it shows up in the list views but has the same URL as the main event so you can’t click through to it. e.g. both have URLs of http://example.org/event/event-name/2017-10-27/ – it also appears last, after the events on the 28th

Any ideas why this might be / how to fix it?

Also you’ll note in the screen shot that the date formatting is broken “repeating until 280 October 2017” instead of “repeating until 28th October 2017” – I guess someone has typo’d ‘0’ instead of ‘S’ in the date format somehow.

Hi and welcome,

We are aware of an issue when using any setting other than the default (2017-01-15) for the Datepicker Date Format option in Events > Settings > Display.

I was able to get the events published correctly when using the default Datepicker Date Format:

Using the following recurrence rules:

I’ve included this forum thread to the logged bug report, so hang tight while our devs work on a fix and we can ship it in a maintenance release. I don’t have any precise timeline when it will be available, but we’ll update you here, in the plugin changelogs, and our Release Notes.

I don’t see any temporary workaround attached to the report, so you can try downgrading to the version that best works for your site until a fix is released. Let me know if you’ve got any additional questions and have a good rest of your day. Cheers!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
