Set Recurrence to Specific Dates

[Anthony]

Hi,

I have a few events that reoccur on an irregular schedule so using the “Every Day”, “Every Week”, “Every Month” and “Every Year” options doesn’t work.

I experimented with using the custom option too to get an event recurring irregularly and that didn’t seem to work either.

Is there a way that I can put specific dates that an event will recur using the recurrence feature in The Events Calendar PRO plugin?

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We do not have a feature in 3.11 to do as you ask.

However, in 3.12 we have a complete custom recurrence.

You can read more about it here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/

You can get a Release Candidate of 3.12 in your account download section right now on our site.

https://theeventscalendar.com/version-3-12-release-candidate-code-is-now-available/

Or it will be available in a week or two.

Cheers

Hi Brian,

I installed the beta version of Events Calendar PRO v 3.12 and I don’t see the recurrence feature anywhere.

I’m getting a message telling me that I need the latest version of Events Calendar installed to enable Events Calendar PRO but I already have the most recent version.

Do you know of any reasons why I can’t access Events Calendar PRO?

Thank you

When you go to your site’s admin > plugins.

What is the version number for each event plugin?

[Anthony]

Hi Brian,

Here are the version numbers I have for each plugin.

The Events Calendar – v 3.11.2
The Events Calendar PRO – v 3.12rc1

Thank you

[Brian]

Hi,

Both need to be v 3.12rc1

The Events Calendar v 3.12rc1 is available for Download with Pro in your account as well here on theeventscalendar.com

Hi Brian,

I was able to get both the Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO updated to v 3.12 but am still not seeing the functionality I’m looking for with the recurrence feature.

Is there anyway to specify additional dates that the event is recurring on without setting a weekly, monthly or yearly timeframe?

An example would be an event that is happening tonight on September 9th and then again on September 18th.

Thank you

Hi,

Looking at the new recurrence system is still does not handle single dates as you would like.

I got it to work using these settings:

But that is not a perfect solution.

I am writing a ticket for us to see about adding in a single date option to make this easier to do.

Thanks

Hi there,

I wanted to drop in here and let you know that this feature will be included in our upcoming release!

Keep an eye on your Updates page for the new version and watch our blog for the release notes post.

Thank you for supporting this feature and for your patience while we added it to the plugin.
