Recurring events 3 times a day on Tuesday to Sunday

[Dominik Schneider]

Hi, we have an event that takes place for specific time period e.g. May, 16 – May, 28. It will take place every day except Mondays and it will happen 3 times each day for 2 hours e.g. 11-13, 16-18 and 20-22. Is there any way to include all the data in one event or do we have to create 3 different events?

Hi @Dominik,

This would generally be possible using the recurring events system in Events Calendar Pro, with an event configuration like the one shown in this screenshot (click for a larger-sized image):

However, there is currently a bit of a bug with same-day recurrence patterns like this. 🙁

So your best bet would probably be to make three separate recurrence series. Each one should start on May 16 and end on May 28, and should have an “Exclusion” set up for every Monday so that Mondays don’t have events. Make the first series be for the 11–13 event, then another one for the 16–18 event, and then another for the 20–22 event.

I hope this helps—and sorry to bear news about the bug!

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.
