Remove "Never Option" for recurring event

[Ty Mulholland]

For the community event submission. I need to remove the “Never” option from the end date of the recurring series options. How is this accomplished?

Hey @Torey,

This is unfortunately not really possible. It would only be possible with writing custom CSS, which we cannot help—but if you can share a link to your site’s Community Events submission page, I’ll be happy to take a look and see what I can recommend!

Thank you,
George

I can write CSS and edit/hack php. I just don’t know how to programmatically remove that option. I can’t find it.

Ok, I found the file I need to edit. It works just to remove the option within this file.

/events-calendar-pro/src/admin-views/event-recurrence.php

Now how do I safely place that in my child-theme so it isn’t overwritten. Doesn’t seem to take the changes when I move it over there.

After a little bit of research I see this can’t be done easily. I edited the core file, which I now will come back to haunt me.

Just a warning to Tribe. This value of “Never” is dangerous in the wrong hands – especially for Community Events submissions. It should be an optional value – not standard.

Hey Torey,

It’s indeed a tricky customization to make. I tinkered a bit and was able to pull it off to a somewhat-satisfactory degree. Try copying and pasting the code snippet from the following Gist into your theme’s functions.php file → https://git.io/vVt9D

Cheers!
