I just purchased the plugin about two weeks ago. I created all my events. I teach photography classes so I created an event for each class. Some classes repeat so I set that up per the documentation. All was working well until I went in and had to change the name of the events. It asked me if I wanted to change all of the events or just the one. I chose “All Events” thinking this was going to change all of the events in one shot. As I found out on the back side, when I created the event and it runs weekly for four weeks, it broke the event out into four entries. I didn’t realize this is how the software works. I spent the last three hours renaming all 300 separate events. When I check the front side, now it’s all screwed up and showing all four class dates in one date. I hope this makes sense. This has been very fustrating. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks… Spencer
That’s unfortunate, you have our sympathies as unexpected work such as this is never desirable.
If you view your list of events though, in the admin environment, and click the checkbox of one recurring event then all recurring events will be checked – you can therefore trash all of the different chains quite easily.
You’re absolutely right that editing a recurring event and hitting apply to all can break the chain into different strands – the best thing therefore is to edit the first event in the series and then apply to all (that way, the chain doesn’t lose its integrity).
Does that help at all?
I thought when I created a reoccurring event, that it listed it as one item in the Events list. Does it create mutiple events upon creation? I loaded a bunch of events at once and didn’t look at the Events list when I was creating them. Does this make sense? Thanks for your help.
If you mean the event list in the sense of the upcoming events view on the front end then yes, we do have an option available that hides all but the first event from that view.
In the context of the list of events that displays in the admin environment, however, they will be listed as if they were distinct events. Does that clarify things?
