Recurring Events repeatably showing in my admin view.

[sinedigital]

Since the last update, now when I create a recurring event, for example weekly. It creates over 100 instances of the same event. It is a total mess and creating a big fat directory of events! What happened to just one event and one instance of the event, that just get repeated on the calendar and not in the admin panel????? I am almost positive it didn’t do this before! If it can’t be fixed I am going to have to purchase a new calendar plugin because for clients using WordPress sites, a directory of 300 events is NOT EASY TO MANAGE.

Please help!

I’m sorry it’s causing you a problem. It’s actually been like this for quite a few releases now – which version did you update from?

We’re definitely open to your feedback here and if you want to post an alternative approach on our UserVoice page we will certainly consider it but it’s worth bearing in mind that a system that shows only one entry for a chain of recurring events poses its own usability challenges.

For instance, if you need to locate an event half way through the chain (perhaps to adjust times for summer events and again for winter events) it would be a more challenging operation if you couldn’t locate specific instances.

The current implementation makes this easy and you can additionally edit the entire chain by clicking on the appropriate link (Edit All) next to any one of the recurring events.

That said, I definitely appreciate it’s not perfect – nothing is – and welcome your further thoughts 🙂

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
