Spreading an event across multiple days / times

[John Champaign]

Hi,

I’m using the events calendar to schedule classes for an adult education school I’m starting. It works great for a single day class, but we also wants to offer classes that meet repeatedly (say, every Wednesday night for 4 weeks).

Is this something I’d be able to do with one of your plugins? The base plugin only has a single start date/time and end date/time. Ideally I’d like every meeting time to appear on the calendar and in the event description. I’m not sure if this is what you mean by “recurring events”.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

Recurring events from Events Calendar Pro will basically let you set rules to copy an event, allowing it to recur as you specify. This will result in each instance of the recurring event showing up on the calendar and in other views. You can see several examples of recurring events here, such as the event “Startup Happy Hour!”, and I took a screenshot of the recurring event edit screen for you to help clear up how recurring events work. You can set several different rules for recurrence on one event (such as the first Tuesday of the month, July 27th, and every Monday, for example).

All of the dates for a recurring event do not appear in the event description by default, but you could add it in by customizing the PHP template (see our themer’s guide for more info on customizing our plugins). However, each recurring event does have a “See All” link by default that will take you to a list of all dates for that event.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with our products, so please feel free to test them out!

Let me know if I can answer any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
