Recurring event without end date

[Ludovic]

Hello,
I would like to create a recurring event (one each monday) without an end date.
I have selected “event series”, check “monday” , series ends “never”… but the start & end dates appears on the calendar 🙁

It is possible to don’t show start & end dates ? Only this event every monday from 8.00 to 10.00 for example ?

Thank you for your help 🙂

Hey @Ludovic,

Unfortunately an event must always have a start date and end date. There is no way to not have this. To have an event happen every Monday from 8pm to 10pm, you would make one event with a start time of 8pm and end time of 10pm, then set it to recur weekly and end “never”.

If you want to hide those end dates/end times, can you share a link to page on your site where the end date/time is visible, but where you want it to NOT be visible? I will take a look and try to recommend CSS to hide that there on that type of page.

I hope this information helps!

Thank you George 🙂
This is an exemple of an event : http://aravis-tour.com/index.php/events/2017-01-18/

If you choose any date on the calendar, the event appear 🙁

If the event can be indefinitely, why must we have to select a end date ? why the “never” option ?

attached file a screenshot of back office for this event

Sorry for my very bad english ^^

Hi Ludovic,

To be clear, the “Start” and “End” times are the start and end times of one instance of an event.

So let’s say you have an event where folks meet at a building at 8pm every Monday. They play music for two hours, then leave at 10pm.

In this case, the start time would be 8pm, the end time would be 10pm on the same day. This is one instance of the event — you use the “recurring events” features so that another instance of this 2-hour event gets added to every single Monday.

With the way you are doing things now, you have an event that starts at 16-1-2017 at 8:00. People will show up at the venue at 8:00 on 16-1-2017. But then the end date for your event is 04-01-2018 at 12:00. So this means that people show up at 8:00 on 16-1-2017 and don’t leave the event until 04-01-2018 at 12:00.

Please try making the end date for this event 16-1-2017, so that it is a four-hour event that repeats every Monday instead of a one-year-long event that repeats every monday (which does not make sense, which is why you will have issues with it).

I hope this helps!
