Recurring Events

[Recurring events]

Hi There,

Im building an website for a company that runs crane operator training courses. I am running avada and using your events plugin. I have a couple of questions before upgrading to your “Pro” version.

Firstly – regarding recurring events, they run their courses at different times in different months, so although it recurs every month its always at a different time. Does this matter? Can I still create just one “event” and give it a different date every month?

Secondly – I see your “Pro” version has custom attributes which is great, but I would really like to change the word “Event” to “Course” everywhere it appears. Are you able to provide me with directions to which files I would need to edit to achieve this?

Looking forward to your reply and kindest regards,

Stewart

Thanks for reaching out, Stewart!

Firstly – regarding recurring events, they run their courses at different times in different months, so although it recurs every month its always at a different time. Does this matter? Can I still create just one “event” and give it a different date every month?

Unfortunately, if there’s not really any pattern to the recurring event, then our “recurring events” feature won’t really do the job. If you would describe this event’s occurrence as: “It happens some time every month,” then the best bet is creating a new single event each time.

If, however, the event’s occurrence would be described like this: “It happens every third Thursday of every month, but once in a while it gets shifted to the second Thursday or last Thursday,” then yes our recurrence system allows for adding the occasional “exception” to a pattern like this.

I would recommend checking this article out if you haven’t already → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/

You can change “Event”/”Events” to “Course”/”Courses” using custom code. We have a knowledgebase article here that shows how → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/changing-the-word-events-to-something-else/. Otherwise there is no way to do this—but take a look at that article, it’s a simple customization and so it might not be a hindrance to you.

I hope these answers are helpful! Let me know.
