Good evening Jennifer and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We are sorry to hear about the challenges you are experiencing while trying to set up your recurring events. I would love to help you with this topic.
Before we continue (although this might not be related), I would highly encourage you to update to the very last version of our plugins for the Events Calendar and the Events Calendar Pro.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this glitch impacting our single event view.
We are actively working on a fix for this which should be released this week.
You will be contacted as soon as it is released.
Thank you for your patience as we see this through.
Best regards,
Geoff B.
