Recurring Events Registration Cutoff

[Dan]

I’m not sure if this is a ‘bug’ or just a feature that isn’t well thought out, however, when you have a recurring event, if you set a Registration Cutoff date on the first one, it goes for all of them, so no events are able to be registered.

I’m specifically trying to create a recurring event where the registration cutoff date is the Friday before the event. Is that possible?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. We do not have any registration features, you can use one of our ticketing plugins for registration, but it is not a direct system to do that.

What are you using for registration?

Please note any of our ticketing solutions do not support recurring events so you are running into an issue were the Recurring Series is considered one event so yes any updates to one will update them all. You would have to break an event out of the series to give it different information from the rest.

Let me know what you are using for registration and I maybe to help out.

Thanks

You know what – you are absolutely right. I’m using Gravity Forms Registration for The Events Calendar. I installed everything at once and didn’t think that feature might belong to them.

In any case, I can pursue their support on this one.

Thanks,
Justin

Ok sounds good.

The behavior that you are experiencing with the recurring events is expected as the plugin considers them all one event with different dates. So you may have to come up with another solution to get around this.

Since this is marked resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic on the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks
